I'm so sick of hearing about how "unexciting" Kerry is!

[MoonRiver]

What are we trying to do here people? Elect the President of the United States of America, leader of the world's greatest superpower, or a friggin' rock star??????? Kerry is as presidential as it gets in terms of persona, experience, and intelligence. I'd rather have that than Illegal Resident, who cracks stupid jokes at bar-b-ques, and commits social blunders and verbal gaffes non stop. If people want a keystone cops type of comedienne running the country I suggest they stay up late watching old movies instead. For me, I'll choose the guy with gravitas, stature, and international respect any day.

1. THANK YOU

Personally, after four years of cardiac Chimpy experience, I'm ready for someone a bit more unexciting, you know, intelligent, honest, SANE.

[demnan]

2. Kerry couldn't be better if he wore a halo in my book

Wish I could have seen the press conference, I'm sure they won't show it again.

[Wickerman]

3. Give me dull - the shoot from the hip, unpredictable prez

scares me shitless.

[trogdor]

4. (resounding cheers) BRAVO!

Admin should get deadly with people who undermine the Kerry campaign. Period. The ENTIRE purpose of this website, and those like it, is to get that idiot chimpanzee and his gaggle of clowns out of the White House, not give a soapbox to every "Sure, I hate Bush but..." jackass out there. Let them go elsewhere and equivocate.

[Richardo]

5. "Some" prefer the agonizing thrill

of seeing whether our President can complete a simple declarative sentence without have what sort of sound like 'words' fall out of his mouth like he's making up a language on the spot.

[DCDemo]

6. My answer to those comments:

At least he can think, write, read, and talk.

Shuts em up every time.

[joefree1]

7. I'm gleeful over the slow creep up in the polls

Americans want to be united. They're tired of dramatics and the rants from the extreme right ...and the left. Kerry is playing this very smart.

[fertilizeonarbusto]

10. I agree!

n/t

[Trajan]

8. I expect to be VERY exciting ...

when he wins ....

[Claire Beth]

9. He has to turn the negatives into positives

I had rather have a boring president than a war monger.

[lancdem]

11. I'm with you 100 percent

Well said!

[tandot]

12. Thanks!!!

[DinahMoeHum]

13. Screw "likability". Who would you rather be with in a foxhole

dodging the shot and shell?

No contest here.

:kick:

[MoonRiver]

20. About all you'd see of * in that situation

is his yellow arse high tailing it away. :D

[damnraddem]

14. I'm sick of HAVING to hear how unexciting Kerry is.

If he were more exciting, I wouldn't have to.

[sangh0]

15. I suggest

replacing DU with American Idol re-runs. That Fantasia sure is exciting, isn't she?

[sandnsea]

16. Actually she is

I get just as inspired hearing Kerry speak as I do when she sings "I Believe". They go hand in hand for me!

[sangh0]

19. True, but Kerry can't do the Bobo

so Fantasia gets my vote.

[sandnsea]

21. lol

Wouldn't it be fun to see her try to teach him? I just think she's the sweetest thing, I'm a sap for a happy ending!

[Padraig18]

17. He has 'gravitas'.

Give me gravitas, judgment and intelligence over * any day, thenk you very much!

[UrbScotty]

18. I'd rather fall asleep watching a Kerry Press Conference

...than lie awake nights worrying that the world is crumbling at the hands of Bush.

[TexasSissy]

22. Excitement in a Prez is unnecessary for me.

But some spark is probably required to get the younger vote (whatever percentage of those that will vote) and/or the Independent vote.

[BabsSong]

23. This "unexciting" stuff is nothing but propaganda shit peddled by

the media like "flip-flop" (my god, who is more of a flip flop than the sockpuppet--every day he changes on Iraq alone!). Kerry actually gives great speeches and they are not some fancy thing above people's heads. They just don't want anyone to listen. Maybe it's time the American people heard a goddamn proper sentence instead of subjecting their children to this incomprehensible drool and then telling them they have to study and learn in school!!!

[incapsulated]

24. It doesn't matter what *we think*

Those of us who are ABB would vote for a human sleeping pill. What matters is the swing voters that will decide this election and they are getting megadoses of the "Kerry is a bore" message. Gore wasn't a liar, a flip-flopping shapeshifter or anywhere near as stiff as he was believed to be by the time the GOP and the media got through with him.

[MoonRiver]

26. Just purchased my lapel pin!!

I'll wear it proudly! Hope Wes can get that debt down soon.

[incapsulated]

27. Thank You! :o) n/t

[bushwakker]

25. Kerry is exactly what people are looking for now.

Intelligent, articulate, experienced. Go to the barbeque with AWOL - leave the governing to adults like John Kerry.

[mitchum]

28. Absolutely...

I'm not looking for a freaking motivational speaker or infomercial shill.

I like Kerry's demeanor just fine

[Claire Beth]

29. Bush isn't the most *exciting* person around! n/t

[MoonRiver]

30. I know. I've never understood the myth of *'s nice guy persona.

Maybe he'got a good personality to the intellectually challenged freepers, but he is about as interesting and appealing as a rock to me.

[Beatrix]

31. Unofortunately

When 68 million people in this country (almost more than the last PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION) have just voted on American Idol it doesn't take a genius to see that the vast majority of people are IDIOTS. They love that kind of shit - and they vote for presidents in a similar manner.

And as to the unexciting fact... There is nothing wrong about calling it like it is. Dean - for example - was FAR more exciting.

[THUNDER HANDS]

32. well

68 million people didn't vote. There were 68 million votes CAST.

More like 680,000 people voting 100 times with their cell phones.

But I get your point.

[PopSixSquish]

33. All During the Primaries, I Kept Thinking...

Wow, how nice it is to have Presidential candidates speak in complete sentences. I'd forgotten what that was like.

Honest to God, I'd rather listen to John Kerry read the entire United States tax code than the moran stumble his way through a single sentence.

When President Kerry takes office in January 2005, the real grown-ups will be back in charge.

[Forkboy]

34. These last few years have been exciting enough

I agree with you,this is a foolish line of attack on Kerry (or any politician really).I dont care if they're boring old farts as long as they do thier best to help people.

[Adelante]

35. I just want a president with a brain

I don't have to be excited, although I don't find Kerry unexciting and don't understand those who do.

[WI_DEM]

36. on the bright side

he isn't as unexciting as Gephardt.

[MoonRiver]

40. Lol!

But I've heard Gep speak in person and my husband and I thought he was incredible!

[sparrowhawk]

37. I think Kerry is the most interesting candidate ..

the Democrats have had in a long time. And its not like Bush is so terribly exciting. Kerry is by far the best choice.

[flaminbats]

38. I love it when Republicans assume the Democrat will lose!

It makes rubbing in the victory even more fun. I still remember when Clinton won in 92 a Republican friend admitted "I never thought he would win."

"That's not what you told me yesterday" I said.

"I just didn't want to let you down on election day" my friend announced...

But only since that election have I discovered how rabidly anti-Clinton and anti-Democratic he really is!


Last winter when I was planning to vote for Howard Dean, a different friend who was an independent asked me who I planned to vote for. I told him I planned to vote for Dean. He said that if he voted in the primaries he would vote for Kerry because he felt Kerry had the best shot of beating Bush. Now this independent is planning to vote for most of the Democrats on the ballot, including Kerry.

[JayS]

39. This thread is as unexciting as...

...Kerry! :)

[MoonRiver]

41. I'll take that as a compliment!

:D
