IDBillzFan Posted September 3, 2004 Posted September 3, 2004 There is no way you want this guy over John Kerry. His speech was terrible. He looked hesitant and worried. He looked like a bumbling fool. He looked like...an assssshole. Sorry Lefties...just wanted to beat you to the punch. Game. Set. Match. Can't wait for the debates.
The Chief Corky Posted September 3, 2004 Posted September 3, 2004 Phuck it...you're not worth the comment. Chief Corky
Alaska Darin Posted September 3, 2004 Posted September 3, 2004 Phuck it...you're not worth the comment. Chief Corky 16817[/snapback] It's sarcasm. There's an online definition at dictionary.com Hopefully there will be some Pell Grants available strictly for Reading Comprehension classes for adults.

I guess we've been real good so the money fairy is going to help us out these next four years.

SactoBillFan Posted September 3, 2004 Posted September 3, 2004 He finished strong. The tears were espescially touching. I enjoyed his beginning "bucket full of mumbo sunshine promises" on domestic policy. His speech writers should eliminate the word "nuclear" from any of their drafts. All in all he held up well, I mean after all, what would you expect from the US President. Speechwise, if thats a word, he's neither a Reagan nor a Clinton. Comparing the two conventions, I'd say both were lacking on economic and domestic issues while emphasising some sort of "strength" on foreign policy. I didn't see the passion and unity in the Republican convention that was present in the Democrats. Nor did I see the Republicans extreme wing have any real podium time as compared to the Democrats. Have to agree though, the debates will be the determinant.
checkmate Posted September 3, 2004 Posted September 3, 2004 Can't wait for the debates. 16798[/snapback] Debates--plural. You mean Bush is going to agree to more than one debate?

You just dropped a Monty Python 16 ton weight on him!! Whew... I must admit, sometimes sarcasm can slip by me! I'll tell you what, I run across some extreme personalities, and that guy is perhaps the most vitriolic personality out of anyone. I can't say he didn't deserve it.
Guest RabidBillsFanVT Posted September 3, 2004 Posted September 3, 2004 Don't worry about it, Reagan didn't and the guy's a fricken legend. 16913[/snapback] You know, you bring up a great point! They always warn us that you should NEVER have more than a couple of credit cards, and by paying off one with another and spending more, you run the risk of financial ruin and bankruptcy. I wish that just once, Congress would get a lesson in economics, and be FORCED into having balanced budgets every year, and to repay the debt. I want to know how come the party of supposed 'limited government' and 'sound economic policy' can justify inflating our deficit, and ALLOW this to happen WHILE they have a majority in Congress? No excuses anymore, I'm afraid.

Passing the 1995 Balanced Budget Amendment would have happened had the Democrats not fought it.

NOT anymore... You and I have talked about the irresponsibility going on now, and I just wanted it know that both sides can really ziegler our deficit up!

The worst part is how one-sided the rhetoric is when it is debated, which is why we continue to see the individual get screwed.

Alaska Darin Posted September 3, 2004 Posted September 3, 2004 Making lobbying completely illegal would go a long ways I think... 17059[/snapback] I don't think legislative solutions are the answer. Like campaign finance "reform", there is always a way around it. The key is accountability, and that required participation and interest.

I constantly hearken back to my Roman Empire history, and wonder where we are going....
Captain America Posted September 3, 2004 Posted September 3, 2004 Bush has won the democrats are already re grouping to see who they will run and run against in 2008 ,their effort would be well served as there is no way they can even come close to winning this one and they know it.

I'm not sure what's worse, tax and spend or don't tax and overspend?
ExiledInIllinois Posted September 3, 2004 Posted September 3, 2004 Debates--plural. You mean Bush is going to agree to more than one debate? 16881[/snapback] Exactly! I wonder what stupid rules they will impose? They should just debate on the fly. No notes and pre-submitted questions. Debates have become a joke in this country. They can call it a presidential "Cage Match"... Two men enter, one leaves...
