Kerry is determined not to lose Florida's 27 electoral votes in a swamp of recounts and recriminations this fall, vowing to mount an early legal challenge in any district that might repeat the problems that bedeviled Democratic supporters in 2000.

"We're going to pre-check it, we're going to have the legal team in place. ... We're going to take injunctions where necessary ahead of time. We'll pre-challenge if necessary," the four-term Massachusetts senator said.

OK. Fine. We'll just pre-FReep your Dim a**.

Slovadan Kerry! Slovadon Kerry! Cheney's Staying in the House! Cheney's Staying in the House!

Well, I think liberals are sanctimonius, self deluded, greedy, condescending, ignorant, lazy, selfish, vindictive, hateful, an so on. Very few are actually crazy. I am truly thinking that Kerry is maybe dumb, maybe tone deaf and has poor judgemnt and maybe crazy. He may just crumble under pressure. He has a curious way of saying the very wrong thing and he is a bit self involved. He seems to play act at things. And I cannot get past remembering how on his first boat tour in Nam they were worried about how he sort of loved killing civilians, just fired away at anything walking. That seemed peculiar to me.

He traveled across country psychotic as a bedbug with a stripper, Blaze Starr.

Outside of getting a real kick out of your characterization of Earl Long, my only tie-in with this story is that I saw Blaze Starr's act long time ago in San Francisco or some such heathen place.

Earl wasn't with her.

I am thinking he is nutty as a fruitcake. The anonymous foreign leaders. The preemptive vote count.

And then there's this: ~~ This guy who's been in the Senate for 19 years and has run a campaign based on the President "f'ing up Iraq" is NOW considering sending a team to Baghdad so he can formulate his position.

This guy belongs on some serious meds.

[tanknetter]

Um, this does have me concerned. Possible scenario (comments, please?): it's late October and the Kerry Campaign starts launching all sorts of preemptive lawsuits in Florida claiming disenfranchisement conspiracies being run by the GOP and the Bush brothers (like those the US Commission on Civil Rights is STILL promoting).

EVERY media outlet would be drawn to THAT like flies to honey. Even with the claims being complete BS, it could conceivably knock Bush off message VERY late in the game and amount to a repeat of the Walsh indictments in 1992 and the DUI release in 2000.

[cajungirl]

We ought to do a special thread entitled Is Kerry Crazy? I am amazed at how many people on FR are so good at detectiing craziness. Alot of us are good at the nuances of fruitcakes having had some in our lives at one time or another.

This is what you shoot for, John.

[mafree]

The Democratic Vote Fraud machine is now in session.

[Paul Atreides]

Kerry is absolutely sickening. I cannot fathom a possible four years of that horse's backside. It's bad enough having to sit through eight months of his pompous, self-centered droning and brain-flatulence.

[M Kehoe]

Note to the John effin Kerry campaign: We will out number you in the streets again.

Oh, nevermind, Florida won't be that close this time.

This is the first time I've seen a criminal announce that he was going to rob a bank months in advance.

[cajungirl]

That pic is giving me a major de ja vu,,I don't know how I would have survived that without FR and snickers bars and a wonderful hubby and carry out. I didn't bathe for like six days. It is a wonder I have teeth left, didn't floss for weeks.

LOL

"Oh my. I am tired already. My eyeballs are hurting. I cannot bear another moment of this. How can we possibly live thru this election."

I posted in another thread, I have a sense that I'd like to wait out the next election somewhere isolated, like the South Pacific. I'm starting to think 2004 is going to be uglier than 2000.

[cajungirl]

Maybe his words could be used in a campaign ad using Reagan's words,,there you go again,,sort of a do we want another recount situation thing.

It is going to be so ugly but hey, if Kerry loses his marbles, it may be the most wonderful spectacle since Liz Taylor stole Eddie from Debbie!

[JohnBDay]

I thought Kerry was against preemptive strikes. ;-)
