Bush vs Kerry

[Idnew]

I'm surprised no one has done this and with the many liberals on this board I think I know how it will go but lets see. On polls of course you can vote anonomously without making a comment. So for those of you that just read and don't reply you can vote on this poll.

[DEAD ZONE]

what about the libertarian or nader?

How about Bill Hicks? I know he's dead, but I think he'd still do a better job than any of the current candidates. Representing the Goatboy Party, of course.

[dave404]

Yes, good point. I've been trying to imagine some of the laws he'd be proposing. Legalising all drugs is an obvious one. Forcing people who work in advertising and marketing to either resign their jobs or have I AM THE SPAWN OF SATAN tattooed across their foreheads would probably be another. Any rock artist who endorses Coca Cola, Pepsi or Taco Bell to be permanently banned from any creative endeavours.... it all sounds pretty good to me!

Dave, while Bill Hicks would be a great Prez, as Aclu hinted he has the distinct disadvantage of being dead. I suggest Lord Archer. Cruel, maybe, and the consequences would be unforeseeable. But it would get him off our hands. I know he's not American, but he could lie about that, couldn't he? :lol

[dave404]

Nah, the Americans don't like their President to have sex. I nominate Noel Edmunds. As a provider of vacuous content-free "entertainment", he's second to none. He interviews better than Bush, it's impossible to imagine anyone having sex with him, and I'd enjoy seeing him assassinated, which is more likely to happen over there than it is here. Cruel enough for you yet?

ps It would be easier just to sling Archer back in jail. I rather liked him, in jail.

[Idnew]

Dave and Dippy, I Have no idea who your talking about but since you think so highly of him or them.........KEEP HIM......them!!!!!!!!!:lol

Lord Archer (yep, he's a Lord) has been let out of jail recently. Briefly, years ago a newspaper claimed that he had had sex with a woman who was not his wife. He successfully sued the paper for libel. Many years later more evidence surfaced, and it emerged that he had had sex with this woman. The paper claimed its money back (half a million, plus interest). Lord Archer went to jail.

Noel Edmunds. Noel Edmunds is to light entertainment what toothache is to chocolate: the sad inevitable consequence of overdoing a good thing without looking at what damage might be being done. He gave the world Mr Blobby. In the 1980s he hosted a Saturday morning kids TV show called Swap Shop, which was the BBC's answer to ITV rival Tizwaz (the greatest kids show ever IMNSHO (but I'm biased)).

Are you sure you don't want them? I still reckon Lord Archer would be best - the sex scandals that would doubtless issue from the White House would be an embarrassment to whatever party he represents, it's true - but even that would be less embarrassing than what Bush is going through at the moment.

[Idnew]

Latest polls have them neck and neck

This should be an interesting election

The puppy is beginning to look better and better:)

What we need is a woman to run and straighten it all out as long as it's not someone like Hillery

[dave404]

Well you can have Baroness Thatcher. Her mind has gone the same way as Ronnie's, alas, but it's quite hard to tell the difference, as she was always a bit bonkers anyway. And she certainly isn't anything like Hillary Clinton.

[dave404]

A few additions to Dippy's helpful comments:

Lord Archer also enjoys the unusual distinction of having a wife described as "fragrant" by a High Court judge, which is something very few people can boast of. He can boast an extensive back catalogue of lies: most of the people who know him well say he's been telling whoppers almost as soon as he could talk. He also writes books that sell very well in airports, but which no-one will ever admit to reading, though you'd think someone as loosely acquainted with the truth as Jeffrey would make quite a good fiction writer.

Noel Edmunds, on the other hand, is wanted by the UN for crimes against humanity, including Mr Blobby, TV Addicts, and Crinkly Bottom, and by the fashion police for the accumulation of a massive arsenal of Sweaters of Mass Distraction, which he has used to terrorize the British public for many years. Grown men have been known to hide behind the sofa. He is to light entertainment roughly what Genghis Khan was to domestic cleaning.

Anyone else think Kerry kind of looks like a horse?

Im voteing for bush because, well how many more words can one man possably make up? I say we find out! But no seriously i like Bush although some of his plans are a little...debateable...i just like him.

On the other hand all Kerry is giveing me is that hes good at getting shot...not a quality you want in the leader of a country.

The senate voted yesterday on extending unemployment benefits for 13 weeks. 12 repubs and 46 dems voted yes. the vote was 59-40 .failed.Only 1 vote needed and guess who was to busy to cast his vote?

Mr. Kerry.
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=536&ncid=536&e=11&u=/ap/20040511/ap_on_go_co/unemployment_benefits

He dose say he supports it and the AP reports , "John Kerry has fought again and again to extend unemployment benefits for workers left behind in the Bush economy."
To bad he could not bring himself to care enough to get it past.He does have an absent record thats pathetic.

Dole quit the senate for his run and Kerry should do the same. If he had any confidence and respect for his constituence he would.

Stupid people without jobs..... considering that rate has been dropping steadily, It should not be harped on as some kind of trump card.a net of 288 thousand plus jobs were created last month. Besides, its not the governments job to employ you or make jobs. They are to stay out of the way. Dont blame Bush because some dont have marketable skills and made bad choices.

[PlayCrackTheSky]

Im fully aware of that fact. I dont like unemployment policys like welfare and junk. Im also aware the president cannot be blamed for the economy. HE dosent control that stuff although policys can affect trends in the stock market but you really cant blame one man for the entire econnomy..

Its the darn congres for the most part. Both are repubs property at present and they have screwed the pooch with their spend thrift ways.Bush has not vetoed a darn thing hardly. That we can blame THEM for.

since his vietnam bit is all he seems to have to offer;
Sen. John Kerry was told to leave Vietnam by three colleagues upset with his behavior and attitudes, according to a fellow swift-boat officer during the war.

Thomas Wright says the misbehavior of the presumptive Democratic presidential candidate got to the point where he no longer wanted him in his boat group. So, at Wright's request, his divisional commander assigned Kerry to another group. Then Wright and like-minded boat officers took matters into their own hands, according to John B. Dwyer, a Vietnam veteran and military historian writing in the online magazine American Thinker.

"When he got his third Purple Heart, three of us told him to leave," Wright said, according to Dwyer. "We knew how the system worked and we didn't want him in Coastal Division 11.

"Kerry didn't manipulate the system," he continued, "we did."
http://www.americanthinker.com/index.php

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=38483

Well well I am sure Kerry did notshed any tears in leaving .We do have to lay off some however since his own mates helped run him out.

[i]The officer said he and most other swift-boat officers had two commandments: 1. Protect the crews. 2. Win.

But working with "Boston Strangler" became problematical, he said, according to Dwyer.

"I had a lot of trouble getting him to follow orders," Wright recalled. "He had a different view of leadership and operations. Those of us with direct experience working with Kerry found him difficult and oriented toward his personal, rather than unit goals and objectives."

Wright said he "believed that overall responsibility rested squarely on the shoulders of the OIC or OTC [Officer-in-Tactical Command] in a free-fire zone. You had to be right [before opening fire]."

However, he continued, "Kerry seemed to believe there were no rules in a free-fire zone, and you were supposed to kill anyone. I didn't see it that way."

Ahem. Thanks Sjax, I do believe that might be it!

The only thing he's got going for him is that he's a viable (if not exciting) alternative to Bush, and that's fine with me (and a lot of voters at this point)

In their cloth sandals, worn jeans, and "Support Fair Trade" sweatshirts, 15 members of the Dartmouth Greens gathered here Monday night for their weekly discussion of social justice and politics. The conversation veered from the economic abuse of sweatshop laborers to the physical abuse of Iraqi prisoners and whether a protest action of papering the campus with photos of abused Iraqis--with the caption, "Is this the occupation you wanted?"--would exploit the victims further.

While none of the 15 particularly like Kerry--"wavering," "craggy," "passable," and "tree-stumpy" were among their descriptions of him--this intensely antiwar group has almost unanimously decided to forsake Nader, a man they see as an idol, to help Kerry win New Hampshire, a key battleground state.
HELLO!!

[dave404]

DZ, you and Tig are saying the same thing, it's just a misunderstanding. I think he should really have said: "...viable, if unexciting..." but I still understood what he meant. Nobody thinks JK is exciting.

Some are saying--and I might be inclined to agree--that kerry is purposefully laying low and staying mellow right now so he can have more impact right before the election. If he was all sturm & drang now, it would lose it's effectiveness by November. Also, he may be wise enough to realize that he doesn't need to tear Bush down, as Bush is doing a fine job of that himself.

But he will need to kick it up a few notches at some point.

Don't you hate pedantic mods? :lol
