LAUGHATHON: Dumbocrats play the blame game (lining up the culprits for Kerry's debacle )
11/6/04 | COPYRIGHT 2004 Use with permission.

Posted on 11/06/2004 2:36:23 AM PST by Liz

Dumbocrats are pointing the finger---not to say which finger----at the dum-dums who caused Kerry's ignominious defeat. One story surfacing predictably points to Bill Clinton, and also fingers Alexandra Kerry's see-through dress, and the juvenile actions of rapper Sean Puffy Combs. The story goes as follows:

The New York Post's Page Six reports Friday, Nov. 5, 2004 that numbers of notable figures in the 2004 Kerry campaign are being roasted by party insiders, headlined " Kerry Aides Blame Puffy, Bill Clinton, Daughter."

(A) Alexandra Kerry: The paper said John Kerry's daughter "made a splash at the Cannes Film Festival last spring when she appeared on the red carpet in a see-through dress." Campaign "insiders snipe that all she did was rack up major expenses. 'She had an entourage of five people with her everywhere she went.' A hairdresser, makeup artist, publicist and two assistants. It ended up costing something like $8,000 a month. And she didn't exactly do anything."

(B) Sean Puffy Combs: The rap mogul made national headlines with his "Vote or Die" effort to get young voters to register and vote. But they never materialized at the polls. "He was just a nuisance," the Post quotes one Kerry aide as saying. "The whole thing was a joke. No one outside of New York or L.A. gives a hoot about this guy. All he did was get himself press."

(C) Terry McAuliffe and Bill Clinton: The Post says Clinton and his top fundraiser who heads the Democratic party caused the disaster.

(D) The Post has reported that some analysts say Clinton's emergence in the closing days of the campaign "energized" the Republican base.

If they booked her trip to Cannes as a campaign expense, the FEC may want to know about it.

I love it. Two mornings in a row (Thurs., Fri.) Fox & Friends on FNC made reference to George Soros regarding his promise to move to a monastery if Bush won; they asked if anyone know which monastery he'd be moving to, and if he realized they probably wouldn't allow pot smoking there.

The hairdresser and makeup artist need to go back to their respective schools.

AH HA!! The kiss of death from slick willie. Just ask Algore and gray out Davis. Snicker, snicker.

The entire party is to blame. Note to left:

You got your message out, but it is not what America wants to hear.

The buzz is that Affleck's latest disaster---a Christmas movie---makes low-rent "Gigli" look like Gone With the Wind.

It's time for the Old Media to poll it's audience. . . I'd bet that more than 50% are offended by their 'pro-Gay, anti-God'
content. At least part of this campaign was anti-Old Media, particularly after they realized that they were in Kerry's camp to the point when they lied about both sides: nothing bad about Kerry and nothing good about Bush. From now on,
the GOP should include the MSM being against them as an asset to GOP candidates because the voters hate them.

Number One blame is the candidate. If you believe the Swift Vets (and I do), Kerry is a Coward. He ran when he felt there was danger. He fired first and thought later, killing innocents. He used minor scratches to fake his way out of vietnam. He carried his video camera to vietnam. What type person does that? A show off. A fake. A fraud. Someone who will walk over anyone, do anything and say anything to get what he wants. Nothing was more convincing for me that he shouldn't be President than the book, "Unfit for Command". He is not fit to lead the third shift at McDonalds.

"Then there was foul-mouthed Whoppi Goldberg---"America's (gag) soul"---as Kerry called her. Whoppi got Dixie Chicked out of her job as Slim-Fast spokesthing b/c of her salacious remarks against GWB.....and the fact that Slimfast stock dropped a couple billion."

LOL! Well said!

Good vanity/oped.

All of the sour grapes the elitist fascists of the left are spewing out since GW and we kicked their butts Tuesday is great for our side.

1. It makes those of us who love and support GW, even stronger broken glass republicans.

2. It makes those independents/moderates who voted for GW, feel good about their votes. They will become more conservative by 2006 and 2008.

3. A large % of apolitical Americans hate vile/whining losers. All of this vile whining/crying will drive them away from voting rat in future elections.

The problem was the message and the messenger.

Old adage: You can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig.

Messenger: Kerry tried to convince America he was something other than what his adult life records showed--anti-military, anti-CIA/intel, pro-tax extreme liberal. He kept vocalizing changes in positions to fit the audience. These gross changes painted his as a flipflopper. He wouldn't defend any position because he had a record of being both for and against nearly every position.


Old adage: Don't buy a pig in a poke.

Message: Kerry couldn't articulate any significant 'plan' details nor what he would have done 'different.' His only message seemed to be 'I'm not Bush'. While that may have been enough for the Deaniac left-wing, it wasn't enough for a majority of the voters.

Kerry ran on a thin message and tried to obscure the lack of details by diverting attention to how bad Bush had been. He tried to hoodwink the voters with a negligible message similar to the old Carter "Trust me" without any specifics.

A rendition of another old adage: Burn me once, shame on you. Burn me twice, shame on me.

The voters didn't want to get burned again with a 'trust me' pig in a poke with lipstick on it.

The problem was the message and the messenger.

Also, the Democrats clearly didn't make enough appeals to their base.

They should have used Barbara Streisand more.

Kerry should have campaigned more with Ted Kennedy and Barney Frank.

Also, they never used Howard Dean in any of their ads.

Sharpton should have been on the campaign to introduce Edwards.

Cynthia Tucker's column blames the homophobes! As long as the media keeps up this kind of rhetoric we can rest assured that they won't win any hearts and minds for the dims.
