WASHINGTON - Democrat John Kerry "doesn't warm anybody up," while President Bush is seen as likable and strong, according to focus groups of undecided union voters conducted for the AFL-CIO.

That would be an impossibility for someone as arrogant as John F-ing Kerry. He is above everyone else and even has the capability to walk on water.
Check out www.screamingeagle326.com and see what these people think of Kerry.

Lurch Kerry seems very affable to me. I have a pet rock as well and it is very loyal.

Who are these "undecided" voters?
This has always bugged me. At least with Liberals and hard-core democrats or Greenies, you can say they have principles that they fight for and will argue on, even if you don't agree with them, or think their arguments are asinine or misguided.
What the heck are "undecided" people thinking? They have no principles, no common theme to their lives that don't associate close to one party or the other's ideology? I've got coworkers and family members like this, and I've never understood it.

The 'unions' are always asking the impossible.
Gorebot, was phony, stiff, condenscending, pompous, a liar and b-o-r-i-n-g.
Kerry on the other hand is phony, stiff, condenscending, pompous, a liar, b-o-r-i-n-g AND has the personality of a stick.
No offense meant to sticks.

There was a great quote yesterday on one of the threads:
"You can't reason someone out of a position that they didn't use reason to get into in the first place."

Is Kerry still telling the AFL-CIO in private that he is going to be "drilling all over the place" for oil, including ANWAR?

I know of a really good place where Kerry could go "warm up". He'll probably land there eventually, so the union just needs to be patient.

I've got coworkers and family members like this, and I've never understood it. Hard to believe, but there are indeed folks out there who don't see politics as an important issue in their day-to-day lives. They tend to make up their minds late, and regardless of what the real issues are, it is sometimes things that we'd view as "unimportant" that sway their vote.
My sister is one of these. She votes every election because she views it as a civic responsibility, but she's more likely to vote for someone because she met them at a hockey game and they seemed nice, than because she's reviewed and agreed with their positions.
That's why responding to democrat lies is so important. If it's on TV, then this group assumes it must be true.

Someone has a tag line that is brilliant. Something like, "Don't argue with me using points of intellect and fact, I'll hammer you with ignorance and finish you off with experience"

"Union Members Urge Kerry to Warm Up"
Tough to be warm and likeable when you're trying to spew the DNC talking-points and recall the liberal playbook to the sheep.
Translation: Their task is to make him (more of) a 'phony'. His handlers are scurrying around in an effort to make him 'warmer' and likeable for the voters.
No soul. No heart. No gravitas. Not likeable. A molded plastic shell.

His handlers are trying desperately to get John Kerry UP to room temperature. No passion, no connected thought processes, and no coherent policy positions.
The monitor has been on a flat-line for WAY too long already to have any meaningful recovery. The best that can be achieved now is pressure assisted breathing, tube feeding and electronicly assisted pulse. The tube feeding probably should be withdrawn, and the specialists should go directly to intravenous feeding.

Thanks!
