in fairness john mccain is very old and can't remember the answers

kerry fucking sucked

Mr. Que, Thursday, 9 October 2008 21:04 (fifteen years ago) link

it also didn't help john kerry that he was a terrorist

kgb (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 9 October 2008 21:04 (fifteen years ago) link

the foreign-policy scaremongering against kerry can't be reduced to only the swift-boating. remember "can't change horses in midstream"?

yes this was also unfortunately a major factor for some people? including people i knew which was alarming to me.

xpost jordan makes an excellent point about kerry's record of blowing up shit.

"cant change horses in midstream" was a made up ad in wag the dog wasnt it

i thought "tire-swinging" was a "dumb monkeys hitting tire swings in their cages" sort of metaphor

I thought the downturn for Kerry was because of all those gays getting married in SAN FRANSICKO

do you guys remember how also john kerry aborted personally 3 babies with downs syndrome?

Seriously though, I don't think this was the main reason at all, but the SF-marrying-gays thing did rally the Republican base quite a bit in late 2004. :(

obamaloverholeinyohead (Mackro Mackro), Thursday, 9 October 2008 21:07 (fifteen years ago) link

i've been thinking lately at how shitty john kerry makes me feel

kgb (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 9 October 2008 21:08 (fifteen years ago) link

ultimately what that election came down to is that john kerry is my old bicycle.

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Thursday, 9 October 2008 21:09 (fifteen years ago) link

about how**

i feel like

supporting kerry in 04= a desperate bad hook up at the age of 14

supporting obama in 08= doing it 4 real

kgb (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 9 October 2008 21:10 (fifteen years ago) link

Kerry made me feel shitty in 2004, but I've been thinking about what a complete joke Howard Dean was. OMG what was I thinking?

howard dean was and is awesome

joe 40oz (deej), Thursday, 9 October 2008 21:12 (fifteen years ago) link

also >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> john kerry

joe 40oz (deej), Thursday, 9 October 2008 21:12 (fifteen years ago) link

well now that john kerry isn't asking anyone to vote for him he is 100% less boring of a speaker so apparently the dislike was mutual during the election because he's totally more dynamic now. i mean for john kerry.

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Thursday, 9 October 2008 21:13 (fifteen years ago) link

Howard Dean as the head of the DNC is a wet noodle.

Johnny Fever, Thursday, 9 October 2008 21:13 (fifteen years ago) link

In Kerry's favor, though, he had one of the best speeches in Denver.

Johnny Fever, Thursday, 9 October 2008 21:14 (fifteen years ago) link

howard dean is the only person in the world for whom saying YAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOW did not win him fans.

Meantime:

The Alaska Supreme Court today rejected an attempt by a group of six Republican legislators to shut down the Legislature's investigation of Gov. Sarah Palin.

The ruling means that Steve Branchflower, the investigator hired by the Legislative Council, will release his report as scheduled on Friday. Branchflower is looking into Palin's dismissal of her public safety commissioner, Walt Monegan, and whether she improperly pressured him to fire a state trooper divorced from her sister.

like remember how conflicted you were about gore 8 years ago and now look at him

max, Thursday, 9 October 2008 21:14 (fifteen years ago) link

like, yeah, i want an actual example of what we're specifically talking about here, which is supposed complacency in voters whose candidate is ahead, not about how one newspaper fucked up calling a tight race on election night. but whatever let's just keep being hilarious!

The Dewey chop had nothing to do with complacency in voters as much as it had to do with links getting posted over and over again with headlines that read IT'S OVER!

And yeah. There's some baseball superstition involved with avoiding the lot of y'all running around jumping around in your front yards, getting ready for that Obama rapture.

☑ (Pleasant Plains), Thursday, 9 October 2008 21:15 (fifteen years ago) link

really? i thought consensus was that the 50 state strategy was key to capitalizing on fatigue with the GOP in 06?

xps

goole, Thursday, 9 October 2008 21:15 (fifteen years ago) link

i think maybe i feel way worse about john kerry than lots of ppl because of my age but i feel foolish as fuck for being like THIS DUDE IS MY PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE esp. when compared to obama

kgb (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 9 October 2008 21:15 (fifteen years ago) link

i'd kick it all day everyday with al gore esp. beard-era gore

kgb (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 9 October 2008 21:15 (fifteen years ago) link

wait hold on, Dennis Miller has a radio show?? since when? and who cares?

playing the abortion card (elmo argonaut), Thursday, 9 October 2008 21:16 (fifteen years ago) link

i was not conflicted about gore in 2000. i am now because he is sooooooooooooooooooooo fat lol hilarious!

xpost oh yeah that is totally what people on this thread who are posting polls going "wow this is nuts" are doing! way to blow things totally out of proportion!

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Thursday, 9 October 2008 21:16 (fifteen years ago) link

The first time I was of age to vote was in 1992 and I feel foolish comparing ALL THOSE DUDES to Obama.

mccain co-chair, on this heretofore unknown "dennis miller show" says:

Just he ought to admit, "you know, I've got to be honest with you. I was a guy of the street. I was way to the left. I used cocaine. I voted liberally, but I'm back at the center." I mean, I understand the big picture of America. But he hasn't done that...

OBAMA: A GUY OF THE STREET AND A COCAINE USER.

playing the abortion card (elmo argonaut), Thursday, 9 October 2008 21:18 (fifteen years ago) link

i mean what the fucking fuck

playing the abortion card (elmo argonaut), Thursday, 9 October 2008 21:18 (fifteen years ago) link

max that is a truth bomb, i remember our long conversation that day but ultimately your wisdom in being not conflicted helped me make it to the polls

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Thursday, 9 October 2008 21:18 (fifteen years ago) link

i've seen a few articles saying "lol dems be complacent" but i've never run into or heard of or read about any dems be complacent. lol.

xp HAHAHAHA "of the street"

goole, Thursday, 9 October 2008 21:19 (fifteen years ago) link

pulling out all the stops to make sure you know that obama is a crack-smoking homeless terrorist

playing the abortion card (elmo argonaut), Thursday, 9 October 2008 21:20 (fifteen years ago) link

howard dean was a really terrible public speaker and that's what did him in. but his campaign organization I think is largely responsible for how Obama's campaign has been put together.

akm, Thursday, 9 October 2008 21:20 (fifteen years ago) link

guys i hate to break it to you but nfl super star and cleveland browns qb brady quinn went mccain today; that negates vampire weekend and we will probably lose this election now

xpost obama is straight up the fanciest homeless man i ever seen; if he can do that without even having a house and being addicted to crack imagine how awesome he will be when he's in this shelter, "the white house".

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Thursday, 9 October 2008 21:20 (fifteen years ago) link

i mean that 'of the street' comment definitely pisses me off but i am WAY MORE infuriated to learn that dennis miller is still working

playing the abortion card (elmo argonaut), Thursday, 9 October 2008 21:21 (fifteen years ago) link

but his campaign organization I think is largely responsible for how Obama's campaign has been put together.

Mostly otm.

Michael White, Thursday, 9 October 2008 21:22 (fifteen years ago) link

Dennis Miller goes where the money is, and if Obama gets elected he'll have a job for at least the next four years.
