RNC: Response

Hubby points out that this can be compared to 1992: An incumbent Republican Bush challenged by a Democrat. Except that W is a better campaigner than his father, and Kerry is no Clinton, and the economy is doing better than in 1992, and Kerry's lies won't have nearly the traction that Clinton's did in this Internet age, and instead of a Ross Perot to suck votes away from Bush, there's Nader ready to suck a few votes away from the Super-warriors (snicker) Kerry & Edwards.

In 1992, Clinton couldn't even manage to get 50% of the vote. This year... victory is on the way!

Thanks,

Extreme make over is a good phrase for this convention.

(queer eye for the liberal guy?)

[RasterMaster]

Why attack....let them put SHAH-ptun in the spotlight and they will SELF-DESTRUCT! MORE BANG FOR THE BUCK, and let it be on the Lie-berals dime!

[longtermmemmory]

In an age of media who is a virtual wing the DNC, we cant leave anything to chance. Of course there was ways to attack from the shadows.

[RasterMaster]

Sign me up on a shadow (CONSERVATIVE-ONLY) media that can counter every bomb-throwing individual that the lefties will prop up - WITH THE REAL TRUTH (not "F911" versions) - and put their credibility in the $hitter. I grow weary of the FOXNEWS "fair and balanced" (60% leftie and 40% TRUTH) approach as life is not fair.

In reply to the lefties, I will quote from one of your favorites: FULL METAL JACKET "YOU'RE ALL EQUALLY WORTHLESS"!

[MEG33]

We do have ammo!

Bad picture Time

Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry (news - web sites) (L) is joined by running mate John Edwards (news - web sites) on the final night of the Democratic National Convention in Boston, Massachusetts. Kerry closed the four-day convention by accepting the nomination for president, setting the stage for a three-month election showdown with US President George W. Bush (news - web sites)(AFP/Stan Honda)

Somehow I get the impression that Tizzy doesn't say many nice things to Jacques -- in ANY language!

We need a Clean Hair Act. We need an America where hair is bouncy and shiny, not drab and droopy.

You know I could see thru every lie in that speech.

But for the folks watching at home, yes, I think he overcame the work the Bushies have done to label him a flip-flopper. Not that they can't remind people again. I'm just saying he exceeded my expectations.

Part II:

Well slap me silly, the WashPost editors didn't like it!

...he will be judged in part on how he chose to present himself last night, and on that score, while he may have been politically effective, he fell short of demonstrating the kind of leadership the nation needs.

[Dog]

NY Times and USA Today went after him also...

What the heck is Susan Estrich drinking this morning?

She's got this drawl and swagger in her voice that sounds like she's drunk!

[Dane]

You(Havoc) really enjoy this "victim" act,but nobody else on FR does.It's become more than tiresome and bandwidth wasting.

Havoc is a perfect mind numbed robot for kerry. Havoc loves shouting his status as "victim".

[sarasota]

That's a keeper!!

[alwaysconservative]

Is it me, or did the luster wear off Edwards' smile in the last two days? It seems sooooo forced, and of course, doesn't reach his eyes they way it did before. Methinks he got the internal numbers on the dead cat bounce, lol!

[Havoc]

Did you say something.

[ZAKJAN]

I searched all 5000 posts to see if ANYBODY picked up on EDWARDS face when Kerry announced he and his wife!! The camera was on him LONG before he realized it, and he was side mouth talking to his wife (looked like he was saying something in a "not so happy" expression. When he realized the camera was on him, he put on the most FAKE smile i have ever seen in my life!! Then to top it all off, his wife didn't stand with EDWARDS and Teresa...Might there be a little trouble in paradise? Also did you see edwards shortly thereafter pick up one of the little kids in the audience, while she squirrmed to get out of his arms? LOL He had that same stupid smile for the camera during that ordeal too.....HOW staged...

I was hoping somebody caught that clip.
