[anarchy1999]

88. Anarchy is a very happy person. I just got off the phone with Rick and

Larry. I am just so incredibly delighted to have been able to get Rick on with Guy. Thank you most of all to nostamj and to VetWife! Without the two of you it may not have happened.

Please, if Guy's interview made you want for more, go to:

http://www.veteransforamerica.com/index2.htm

Just listen to any one of the speeches Rick makes and to the response from the crowds.

Kerry and Edwards need to make these guys their very best friends.

Once again, thank you Nostamj, thank you VetWife and most of all, thank you Guy.

[Dudley_DUright]

7. I look forward to the show

As Jon Stewart pointed out after the debate, Kerry was writing in his notes during the debate "I am SO crushing this guy" (but this could be an apocryphal story). :-) {BTW, perhaps smearing is not quite the proper word, since that is really what republicans do to us. It was more like a rout (as Will Pitt would say).}

[JanMichael]

8. Kick those RW asses!

Bad. Or badly, whichever:-)

[Mika]

10. Oh yeah.

I'm ready.

Hi, JM :hi:

[coreystone]

20. I used to watch the little pigskin full of hot air - 4 games a week...

I guess we have to be patient for them to blow off a little more air. We certainly would want anyone to misallign their priorities!
:-)

[BeachBuckeye]

9. Just found out we won't be on until the Gator's football game

ends. I don't know what time that will be at least 3;30 eastern.

Damn! You can now see the respect a Democrat gets at this company. Found out 4 minutes before show time. I'm pissed!!!!!

[Mika]

12. Damnit! Guy, that is a horrible time to find out.

Bastards. :argh:

[eleny]

14. I'm doing housework but have the speakers up

We'll be here when you start the broadcast. Today, you'll help me get my kitchen cleaned up. Maybe even the fridge will get cleaned out! =:-O

[nostamj]

15. i trust they won't be charging you for that time....

[Cha]

19. Hangin' in there Guy!

Just have to cram all that Good Stuff in less time:D

[nostamj]

11. "inspiration" for your debate calls....

just a small sample of Rove's nightmare on Thursday...

[coreystone]

13. Greetings and Salutations!

After the show, I will begin a thread called "Guy James October Fund Raiser". Please check it out after what I am sure will be another great show!

[mandyky]

16. 310 PM still music, no guy!!!

flip the switch

[nostamj]

17. see his post #9 he's being delayed for FOOTBALL n/t

[coreystone]

18. This Will Be the thread, wait until later before its posted!!...

To: All of my fellow members on the Democratic Underground

From: coreystone

Several months ago I received an automatically generated E-Mail from MoveOn. It suggested that for those of us that reside in heavily BLUE states, that we might support other states which are in much more jeopardy of losing to the “reds”. I thought that this was a tremendous idea. Though I didn’t follow suit to donate directly to MoveOn (at that time), I pursued alternative avenues to “adopt a state” that I felt was in need. After much consideration, I chose Florida. I certainly, at that time, did not envision the natural disasters of four hurricanes devastating so many areas of that great state. Still, the elections are upon us. We have very little time.

It has come to my attention that Guy still needs our help. There were so many variables in the 2000 election between Gore and the current resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue which were so pivotal in determining the national outcome for us all! I know that many of us realize that EVERY VOTE counts, whether in Vermont, or, Florida. Since my state, Vermont, is BLUE, I still feel an urgency to help Kerry collect the 27 electoral votes from Florida in 2004; a state that I still feel Gore won.

As we all know every vote counts; every vote counts just as much for me and others living in BLUE states, as it does in Florida. I support the Guy James Show because it is an alternative to many of the Republican machines which are jamming the airwaves in Florida. If GUY can even get the ONE vote which may give Kerry the GO AHEAD for the 27 electoral votes nationally, then, I will feel as though our efforts have been worth the effort.

At this time I would like to make an offer:

There is a site which offers “Magnetic Kerry-Edwards bumper stickers.

For the first 50 members of DU making a direct donation of $5.00 or more, I will send a "Kerry-Edwards" magnetic sticker direct from the distributor, USPS first class mail, for donating to the "Guy James Show".

For any who would care to donate on this “GUY JAMES SHOW” Fundraiser, please contact “vetwife”! She will assure you that it is 100% above the table for a good cause. We do not want a repeat of 2000!

41. Rick Bolanos. Fantastic.

Here's the site. This sounds wonderful. More power to them.

[coreystone]

42. I Cry!

[nostamj]

43. he got me too...

powerful speaker!

[Dudley_DUright]

44. Veterans for America has a nice comparison between the records

of Kerry and Bush on military and veterans issues:

THE TRUTH ABOUT JOHN KERRY

The Republicans would like you to believe that Senator John Kerry is soft regarding the defense of our country. That is part of the administrations attempt to keep the TRUTH away from the American public. The Truth is that John Kerry is one of the strongest supporters of America’s military. He voted for the largest increase to the defense budget (2002) since the early 1980’s.

[Cha]

45. What a Sweetheart...he had

me crying, too!

Rick Balanos said.."an administration that would pit one Veteran against another and they didn't serve themselves is dispicable!"


On edit~ From the website..I have that on my car.."Freedom Is Not Free"..a magnetic red, white, and blue, sticker that they threw in with my ..yellow ribbon sticker that says "Support The Troops".

I'm glad to see the Democrats are owning.."Freedom Is Not Free".

[Judi Lynn]

46. Oh, YEAH! I was in shock when Bush referred to the "vociferous" war!

What they hey is THAT?

What he meant we can only speculate.

[nostamj]

49. even though he managed to say it, did he know what it meant?

Main Entry: vo·cif·er·ous
Pronunciation: vO-'si-f(&-)r&s
Function: adjective
Date: circa 1611
: marked by or given to vehement insistent outcry
- vo·cif·er·ous·ly adverb
- vo·cif·er·ous·ness noun
synonyms VOCIFEROUS, CLAMOROUS, BLATANT, STRIDENT, BOISTEROUS, OBSTREPEROUS mean so loud or insistent as to compel attention. VOCIFEROUS implies a vehement shouting or calling out <vociferous cries of protest and outrage>

[Judi Lynn]

58. I don't think "knowing" anything comes easily for him, do you?

It's sad.

[nostamj]

he may *think* he's Charlemane...

but he's not even Pippin!

[Catshrink]

53. or Alexander the Great..

but he couldn't be Alexander -- Alexander rode horses and he actually fought. Not a chickenshit like commander bunnypants.

[coreystone]

47. He was also fluttering his eyelids repeatedly! n/t

[Dudley_DUright]

48. Good article in CSM about the "enduring (read permanent)" military bases

If a new Iraq government should agree to let American forces stay on, how many bases will the US request?

One, as the United States Army currently maintains in Honduras? Six, the number of installations it lists in the Netherlands. Or maybe 12? The Pentagon isn't saying.

But a dozen is the number of so-called "enduring bases" located by John Pike, director of GlobalSecurities.org. His military affairs website gives their names. They include, for example, Camp Victory at the Baghdad airfield and Camp Renegade in Kirkuk. The Chicago Tribune last March said US engineers are constructing 14 "enduring bases," but Mr. Pike hasn't located two of them.

Note the terminology "enduring" bases. That's Pentagon-speak for long-term encampments - not necessarily permanent, but not just a tent on a wood platform either. It all suggests a planned indefinite stay on Iraqi soil that will cost US taxpayers for years to come.

The actual amount depends on how many troops are stationed there for the long term. If the US decides to reduce its forces there from the 138,000 now to, say, 50,000, and station them in bases, the costs would run between $5 billion to $7 billion a year, estimates Gordon Adams, director of Security Policy Studies at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. That's two to three times as much as the annual American subsidy to Israel. Providing protection for Israel is one of several reasons some analysts cite for the US invasion of Iraq.

51. Checking in...

Just home from school... in shock. One of my students was killed in a car accident last night. Damn!

[nostamj]

52. "split screen"

the agreement said 'no reaction shots during answers' but the networks said 'screw you'

c-span played the split screen from the start, not just in repeats. I watched it on c-span and called my friend to make sure he was getting the side-by-side version...

[Dudley_DUright]

54. C-SPAN is the only way to go for events like this

Watched the DNC and (some of the) RNC the same way.

[Cha]

55. I was thinking the same thing..I saw

it on c-span from the start..SPLIT SCREEN! Didn't know they weren't suppose to have it!

This caller, sorry, I didn't get her name but she was making a joke about the criss cross of the Hurricanes there because her country voted repub..she had the best sense of humor!

How sweet,a Lefty Christian!

[nostamj]

56. "we cannot have MEXED MISSIGES about Iraq!

[coreystone]

59. Great Toon! I guess some politicians can't TALK and WALK ......

at the same time!

:-)

[guajira]

57. Debate was great on C-Span

I watched the entire Debate live on C-Span, and it was split screen from beginning to end!! It was hilarious watching B*'s facial expressions!

C-Span is the only way to watch government events.

[Judi Lynn]

60. Hope the split screen will be allowed in the next two,& the Cheney/Edwards

debate. Think how much people would have missed if they had stuck with the original demands for absolutely no reaction shots!

[Cha]

61. This guy from Ohio is making us Very Happy!

Thinks, sincerely, that Ohio is going for Kerry!

His wife is a repug and she's voting for Kerry, and telling all her friends to do the same.

She wrote on top of their Kerry sign in their yard..that she is a repub voting For Kerry!

[Dudley_DUright]

62. Crazy Mike

What a waste of good O2.

65. i think you mean 'three fingers' of courage! n/t

[coreystone]

66. I guess I stand corrected!............

:kick:

[coreystone]

67. Oh Boy! I hope Gilette commercials and everything! n/t

[nostamj]

68. "hard work" appears 11 times

I have the transcript and did a search...

[Catshrink]

72. Is that all?????

I thought surely it would be more. It's hard, it's tough. Poor Georgie...

[nostamj]

76. that's correct for the phrase "hard work"

he says "hard" or "hardest" (with or without "work")

22 times....

[Cha]

74. That's what I read from a German

magazine,"Der Spiegle", article on DU..the people in the bar were laughing about.. 11 times, bush Whined.."It's Hard Work!"

[Kathy in Cambridge]

69. Oh boy a dumbass neo con

70. This guy has called before.... I think every week.

Some freeper sheep.

73. What was the the name of the N. Korean Ariplane bomber...in Mash...

that had the most predictable routine in performing his missions??

[never cry wolf]

71. Guy, check this out from GD2004, just posted

NEWSWEEK POLL: BUSH LEAD GONE (Kerry leads by 2)

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x952892

[nostamj]

75. from that bogus double-digit to this in how long???

sweet!

[nostamj]

77. here's the transcript of the "Let me finish" moment...

I think what is misleading is to say you can lead and succeed in Iraq if you keep changing your positions on this war. And he has. As the politics change, his positions change. And that's not how a commander in chief acts.

Let me finish.

The intelligence I looked at was the same intelligence my opponent looked at, the very same intelligence. And when I stood up there and spoke to the Congress, I was speaking off the same intelligence he looked at to make his decisions to support the authorization of force.

on edit: this was during a 90 second rebuttal, not a 30 second follow-up...

[Cha]

81. Wow! he's either talkin' to

rove in his ear or it's a reactive tic that he has..

Or he hears voices in his head..God, perhaps?

[coreystone]

78. We're Back!

:scared:

[Cha]

79. "Let me finish"!

Sidney Blumenthal mentions this in his review of the "debate", too..


"In the split TV screen, how Bush felt was written all over his face. His grimaces exposed his irritation and anger at being challenged. Lacking intellectual stamina and repeating points as though on a feedback loop, he tried to close argument by assertion. With no one interrupting him, he protested, "Let me finish" - a phrase he occasionally deploys to great effect before the cowed White House press corps."

83. Professor Irwin Corey

My sister and I ran into him at Wolfies Miami Beach years ago after one of his shows. He sat with us for a long time and he was genuinely funny!!

84. Lucky YOU, guajira.

What a great comedian, a liberal, too.

[guajira]

85. Norm Crosby also used that schtick! n/t

[coreystone]

86. PLEASE! If you got an autograph, share a copy... He's has always....

been one of my favorites!!

[guajira]

87. Funny, we never thought to get an autograph

Irwin Corey was so funny, telling my sister she should have an affair with him, it would be good for her marriage! Not sure if he was entirely joking!

[Dudley_DUright]

89. Here is the newsweek poll thread

(thought I would save you the trouble Jeff)

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x879727

Direct link to the Newsweek article:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6159637/site/newsweek/

[nostamj]

93. here's the a clip from the Newsweek article...

Oct. 2 - With a solid majority of voters concluding that John Kerry outperformed George W. Bush in the first presidential debate on Thursday, the president’s lead in the race for the White House has vanished, according to the latest NEWSWEEK poll. In the first national telephone poll using a fresh sample, NEWSWEEK found the race now statistically tied among all registered voters, 47 percent of whom say they would vote for Kerry and 45 percent for George W. Bush in a three-way race.

Removing Independent candidate Ralph Nader, who draws 2 percent of the vote, widens the Kerry-Edwards lead to three points with 49 percent of the vote versus the incumbent’s 46 percent. Four weeks ago the Republican ticket, coming out of a successful convention in New York, enjoyed an 11-point lead over Kerry-Edwards with Bush pulling 52 percent of the vote and the challenger just 41 percent.

Among the three-quarters (74 percent) of registered voters who say they watched at least some of Thursday’s debate, 61 percent see Kerry as the clear winner, 19 percent pick Bush as the victor and 16 percent call it a draw. After weeks of being portrayed as a verbose “flip-flopper” by Republicans, Kerry did better than a majority (56 percent) had expected. Only about 11 percent would say the same for the president’s performance while more than one-third (38 percent) said the incumbent actually did worse that they had expected. Thirty-nine percent of Republicans felt their man out-debated the challenger but a full third (33 percent) say they felt Kerry won.

90. Jeff is on..

"The $87 Billion" "Kerry should make it more clear about his vote against bush's version of the bill"

"Only $1 Billion been spent on our Soldiers."

"bush did it to himself."

"New registration..redoubled!"

"20th century methodology. for 21st century technology"

on the "General Discussions" forum.

100. And thank you Guy!!! Another great show even with the "pigskin" problems!

:kick:

[Cha]

102. Yeah, Gary was Great!

[Judi Lynn]

101. Don't forget, Guy James, that Bush tried to duck debates with Al Gore

Remember he tried to change the format of debate altogether by having his people try to get the debates done on Larry King. I think they also said that debates aren't necessarily required of a candidate, as they didn't start doing them until Kennedy/Nixon, or some such nonsense.

He really wanted to avoid them with Gore.

I PRAY he finishes the ones scheduled with Kerry. It was excellent hearing your views today. Democrats needed that debate.

Hope we all have a lot to celebrate next week! Great show. Thanks.

[Cha]

103. Please go over to the ...

Guy James Octoberfest :toast: Fund Raiser and donate a buck or two for Kerry's sake!:D
