Now did Kerry use ANY talking points you people suggested?

[LoZoccolo]

Ha ha ha ha!

1. Yes and No

He certainly didn't call bush* a liar, and he didn't say that his vote for IWR was a mistake, which some people claimed made it impossible for Kerry to attack bush* on Iraq.

But he did call the invasion of Iraq a mistake, and he clearly questioned bush*'s honesty, not to mention his competence.

[incapsulated]

2. I didn't suggest any

Hahahaha!

What's your point? We shouldn't try to help in our little way? We don't have the power to make Kerry do anything. I thought DU'ers came up with some great lines that Kerry certainly could have used for killer soundbites from the debate, without any harm.

:shrug:

[LoZoccolo]

6. It's just kind of funny, the desperate tone of some of them.

Like Kerry just had to say this or that, or that he really needed help.

And then he won all by himself!

[ScreamingMeemie]

8. I think he won with help.

I think he did great, but I still say that the people must be listened to for a candidate to appeal. Sorry.

[Stew225]

3. He must not have since he

did so well and won.

[LoZoccolo]

4. Ha ha ha ha!

;)

[Kal Belgarion]

5. He did mention OBL and Tora Bora in the first 10 minutes (nt)

[sangh0]

14. He's been doing that ever since

Tora Bora

[girl gone mad]

7. Yep.

He referred to Bush's father's statements on Iraq.

Also, he paused at the handshake.

Not that he did those things because we suggested them, however.

Edit: I didn't realize you were baiting people. Silly me.

[HFishbine]

15. "Bush's father's statements on Iraq"

Right. That one struck me as particularly good when I read it here. Probably just great minds thinking alike though.

[Kahuna]

26. Yep. I had a hand in that one. But no. I don't think Kerry said..

it because we said it on DU. It just shows how politically savvy we DUers who said it are. So there Mr. chiding thread starter (not you), trying to put other DUers down. :P

[orpupilofnature57]

9. Hell no, he took the high road, didn't break the rules, again

I can tell he went to Yale, unlike me and porgie .But after all it's haaard weerk.

[AndyTiedye]

10. Wrong War. Wrong Place. Wrong Time. Oh Wait. Bush Kept Repeating That

He was trying to criticize Kerry for saying it, but he still repeated it over and over.

[ThoughtCriminal]

25. I'm hoping ^ keeps bring that up

Wrong War. Wrong Place. Wrong Time.

Yep - keep reminding everyone.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

11. Actually several people in the Kerry campaign read this site

and even Elizabeth Edwards checks us out. They very well may have gleaned some great responses and strategies from viewing the many threads concerning the debates.

I did hear him make a NUMBER of points that people at Du wanted addressed.

[ScreamingMeemie]

12. Thank you darling! You're the best!!

And....


You have finally won me firmly and decidedly over! :hi:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

13. That reminds me

[fknobbit]

19. Yup and the shrubsters debate material was obviously harvested from

The Manson family and freepers.

[Cheswick2.0]

16. Flame bait

[orpupilofnature57]

18. Ever see k street?

The smartest thing dean ever said was something he got from James car ville.The Smartest thing i ever heard john Kerry say was i make mistakes.

[LoZoccolo]

20. Read #6.

I perform a useful service with this post by exhorting people not to get all stressed out and take themselves way too seriously. It's to the health of the inhabitants of DU.

[annabanana]

17. It's our job to throw the stuff out there............

and let the Kerry team catch whatever they think they can use. Every idea is better than no idea, and you can't have "too much" inspiration! (and 50,000 heads are better than...............etc)

[GreenArrow]

21. yes

he compared Bush to his father.

[RetroLounge]

22. Yes, he followed my suggestion to a 'T'

where I said he should walk across the stage and bitch-slap bush* and say that's for the Swift Boat Liars and for what you did to every Veteran in America. And the way he then Kneed bush* in the groin, walked back to his podium, pulled out a cold American Made Beer from under the podium, took a long swig, and said "Now Lets get this Chimpy Ass-Kicking started!

I loved that...

[SoCalDemocrat]

23. Yes, and he won! Hahahaha!

[eridani]

24. Don't know, but he did say one thing I really wanted to hear--

--namely that he repudiated the Bush/PNAC strategy of invading Iraq to plant permanent bases there.

[Kahuna]

27. Yes actually. There were a couple that I noted. The one about..

noting Bush's father in comparision to dubya. And also to remind that bush kicked the inspectors out.

[Cocoa]

28. he ignored my advice

I said he should ignore the rules, go over the time limit, but I'm glad he didn't. He didn't give the whores something to slam him for.
