This is going to be one nasty 8 months. Are you all ready for it?

Seriously. Kerry was caught on camera and sound calling Bush and his minions everything but an organized crime outfit. I am paraphrasing here, but that was the jest of his comment. No shit. Man.

2. I'm ready for that

I'm telling Kerry, "Bring it on!" I'm also looking forward to watching Whistle Ass's own campaign commercials get him in trouble.

3. Is Bush ready for it

I am starting to feel like he is the underdog. THe negative press and tv coverage is astounding right now.

10. They got knocked back on their heels when Terry McAuliffe called Bush AWOL

They have been on defense ever since. Think about it. The Dem's didn't come out with a jab to begin this election season. They came out with a knock out punch with the first swing. It was dangerous to do. Could have backfired? It didn't. The media helped Kerry too, by keeping it in the news. Didn't quite understand that? Unless they sensed blood in the water and had to report on it?

5. Interesting to see the back and forth

Kerry is hitting hard, seems like trying to provoke an over the top response. Cheney can't go on tv and bash back, because Rove wants everyone to forget the man behind the curtain....Rove wants Smirky to "act presidential' and 'stay above the fray'....Limbaugh is too high to do much damage....InsHannity is hated by everyone, including Freepers and no one listens to him except the brain dead loyal minions who would vote for Smirk regardless...they are running out of barking dogs to do their bidding.

6. It will be fun

watching Bush try to spar with Kerry. Karl Rove will self-implode trying to make Bush appear intelligent.

What's not to like?

8. Excited and scared at the same time

I'm hopeful and optimistic, as always. When I think of how bad * has fucked up this country, I just can't believe he could pull off another "win" even with Diebold. But I worry about an October surprise, or other dirty tricks these people could use. Remember who we're dealing with.

12. Quite, My Friend

We must hit hard and hit often; hit low and hit high; we must never stop hitting, and never stop cheering and laughing at the result. It must be made clear that attacking this jackanapes and the criminals of the '00 Coup is popular, and entertaining.

14. about that word you use so often....

Main Entry: jack�a�napes
Pronunciation: 'ja-k&-"nAps
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English Jack Napis, nickname for William de la Pole died 1450 duke of Suffolk
1 : MONKEY, APE
2 a : an impudent or conceited fellow b : a saucy or mischievous child

m-w.com

interesting source for the word.. no? Like Gerrymander- derived from a historic figure. And your regimen for dealing with Bush is spot on!

24. It Has A Great Sound To It, As Well

The sound is the thing, Sir, that drives home all points best....

The thing is a little unfair to Duke William, of course: he was something of a peace-maker, and died for it.

18. This Veteran is ready to chuck the gloves and rumble

I didn't spend 24 years in uniform to have my constitution undermined by a bunch of chickenhawk zealots. Yo george bring it on. Senator Kerry wasn't my first choice as nominee - BUT HE IS NOW. and I'm gonna work my ass off to get him elected and you out of the people's house.

19. we have to be aware that BushCo will do ANYTHING . . .

to remain in power . . . they will lie . . . they will cheat . . . they will steal . . . and I am convinced that, if necessary, they will also . . .

- arrange for convenient small plane crashes;

- start wars;

- rig electronic voting machines; and/or

- look the other way during another terrorist attack on American soil.

the people behind Bush -- the corporatists, the theocrats, the dominionists -- have too much invested to see their puppet defeated . . . be prepared for ANYTHING to happen, particularly if it looks like Bush is about to lose the election . . .

25. One of the all time great posts!

In just a few lines, OneBlueSky has correctly summarized what we're up against. He/she was not exaggerating in the least. It would be good if Americans could realize that we are dealing with violent and ruthless career criminals who are armed and extremely dangerous. Anything could happen, not the least of which would be a refusal to leave office in the event they lost the election.

35. But Kerry

Is able willing and ready to do anything to Bush Co. He has a great deal of experience at dealing with Republicans who are going after him while he is going after them and always coming up on top.

This is not Al Gore. Kerry is not angry, nothing he does is going to be done out of anger, and so miss its target. Kerry is steady and cool and does not lose his head, which is what I was looking for in a candidate this time around after the events of 2000. We didnt need and angry candidate, but one with ice water in his veins.
