"The balloons not dropping was Gods way of saying Kerry is evil"

[Gothic Sponge]

A friend of mine told me a co-worker of his said "The balloons not dropping was Gods way of saying Kerry is evil for America." LOL!
Can we get straightjackets for these people!

[XanaDUer]

1. Thank you for the best laugh I had all week.

That's it. God has spoken through the balloons.

Let's call the whole thing off.

[redqueen]

2. Holy crap

Just when you think you've heard it all... one of them says something even DUMBER!

LMAO!

[Melodybe]

17. Funny, my opinion of the balloon drop was completely different.

I felt those balloon dropping slowly was a metaphor for how this election will not be won in just one speech, but slowly person by person change will happen.

That is after all the only way change ever happens.

The Dark Ages lasted hundreds of years, but but then innovation gave us the printing press.

Everyone here knows that this election is going to take work, and slowly person by person it will happen.

[Catch22Dem]

3. More fundie logic

Nevermind the fact that a more effective way would have been for gawd to tell Kerry not to run. After all, they believe gawd told Bush to run, so it's not like the concept would be a huge stretch.

[bobbieinok]

4. remember JFK's inaugural ....... didn't his hat blow away?

I just knew people would say it was God angry at a Catholic president.

[wryter2000]

5. God speaks through balloons?

Get that person on the phone with a minister/priest/rabbi and have them repeat that.

[nadinbrzezinski]

6. You are evil

I mean what did that Minister\rabbi\ priest do to you?

Now if that happens to be Fallwell I think they are gonna have an
orgasm

[XanaDUer]

9. I thought the 10 Commandments

were originally on balloons, and Moses was going to release them?

:shrug:

All I know is, when God manifests Himself through balloons, mortals must listen.

[Gothic Sponge]

12. LOL! I think originally Moses parted red balloons.

[wryter2000]

13. Yup

For sure. Loaves. Fishes. Balloons.

[Tight_rope]

27. LOL....Ignorance is truly a diesease.

The ignorance of some people in this country never ceases to amaze me. To think that God would punish someone by not letting balloons drop. IMO I think God didn't allow the balloons to drop all at once because he wanting the press to give more time and attention to Kerry, Edwards and the people who are fighting for America. And you know what... It worked.

31. "Stupidity Should Be Painful"

Great bumper sticker I saw a LONG time ago...

[JHB]

28. Of course he does. This is what * heard:

Ninety nine red balloons
Floating in the summer sky
Panic bells, it's red alert
There's something here from somewhere else
The war machine springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
And focusing it on the sky
The ninety nine red balloons go by

Ninety nine decisions treat
Ninety nine ministers meet
To worry, worry, super scurry
Call the troops out in a hurry
This is what we've waited for
This is it boys, this is war
The President is on the line
As Ninety nine red balloons go by

[DaveFL99]

29. I'd rather

they told that to a shrink

[soleft]

7. Don't laugh, Blitzer practically said the same thing

[redqueen]

10. Wow

I had no idea that the liberal media would ever spew reich-wing talking points!

/sarcasm

[krkaufman]

38. And more...

I was listening to AAR today, and somebody made a similar comment -- referencing that a similar thing happened at "Jimmy Carter's" convention. A more mystical than theological reference, but similarly irrational.

[ck4829]

8. I wonder if that means...

A mysterious election in Florida.
Pretzels now get the ability to beat people up.
Military records that get destroyed and then turn up again.
A guy who keeps falling off his bicycle.

Are these all signs from God telling us that Bush is evil?

[Tempest]

11. Iraq war not going well is God's way of saying Bush is evil

Bush falling off his bike twice is God's way of saying Bush is evil

U.S. soldiers still getting killed in Iraq is God's way of saying Bush is evil

Bush choking on a pretzel is God's way of saying Bush is evil


The possibilities are endless.

[West Coast Democrat]

14. I had no idea there was any problem with the balloon drop...

as I was watching the program on CSPAN, and everything looked fine.

[C_eh_N_eh_D_eh]

20. The stage manager was yelling at his workers to drop more balloons.

The CNN gang decided it would be cheap^Wcute to set up an open mike right next to him while he was cussing out his crew.

[DaveFL99]

30. Yes

for some odd reason CSPAN didn't focus heavily on the balloons.

Wait ! That's why I watch CSPAN

[Tight_rope]

32. I watched on CSPAN and it looked like it was planned that way!

[playahata1]

33. My brother said the same thing last night.

n/t

[emulatorloo]

34. Yep that's what we thought. . .it was beautiful EOM

[Scorpious_Maximus]

15. John Ashcroft?

[Atlas Mugged]

16. It rained on Bush's inauguration

So...was that a sloppy, cold kiss from god?

[southlandshari]

24. no

that was God's divine car wash in action, cleansing the holy president-mobile of sinful egg yolks thrown by heathen bystanders!

[southlandshari]

25. oops

duplicate post - self delete

[maveric]

18. And 9/11 was caused by gays, feminists and the ACLU.

I swear it, RELIGION MAKES PEOPLE STUPID!

[democrat_patriot]

19. I watched on HD and didn't notice

anything about the balloons.

THere was no 'talking head' to point it out for me. I feel so left-out.

I saw all the kids on stage playing with balloons - they got them from somewhere.

WHo could see balloons through all the confetti?

The Dems optimism kept them afloat. They were floatng on our dreams for a better America.

[flakey_foont]

21. Oh, Puh-leeeeeze!

[Tight_rope]

22. Bush chokes on Pretzels...A sign from God that he's lies.

Bush falls off of everything that moves. A sign from God that he should not be walking on this Great Land called America!

[library_max]

23. Your God Is Too Lame.

Have your friend tell his co-worker that. Any God worth worshipping would come up with something better than a diddley trick with balloons.

[Technowitch]

26. How do we know it wasn't gravelings?

Or perhaps Satan holding them up, so as to make Kerry look bad? ;)

[krkaufman]

37. Gravelings

Chuckle. Nice DLM reference. I'm looking forward to getting home and watching the new season. (Tivo'd).

[emulatorloo]

35. "The Balloons Dropping Slowly was God's Way of Prolonging The Convention"

God Just Didn't Want To See The Great Dem Convention End Or John Kerry Leave The Stage. "

That is what I would tell this co-worker of yours.

[Th1onein]

36. These supporters are just like their candidate: Crazy as a loon.

eom

[maxrandb]

39. Wonder what God was thinking

when * almost killed himself with a pretzel? What was God thinking when chimp fell off his bike not once, but twice? Why did God wait until * was in office before attacking the WTC and Pentagon? Didn't God know what a terrible spawn of Satan Klintooon was? -sarcasm off-

Why did God wait until * was in office to make the Stock Market Crash? Why did God make all those jobs go away when * is in office?

Sounds to me like God is a little "Cheneying" pissed by having his name dragged through the muck by these "Cheneyer's".
