The thing that made you angriest about the Bush Cheney campaign

[undeterred]

For me it was the Swift Boat Liars trashing John Kerry's military service, especially when Bush and Cheney were too cowardly to face combat. They don't deserve to be in the same room with men like him.

[Sapphire Blue]

[SmokingJacket]

7. Those purple heart bandaids.

Ye gods. I thought I'd turn vigilante.

[Olney Blue]

13. And those flip flop sandals...

[kliljedahl]

21. It all pissed me off

Keith’s Barbeque Central

[maveric]

24. Those who wore those were DISGUSTING!

Bu$h was a wartime coward and Kerry went when he probably didnt have to.
Sure, he faked 3 shrapnel wound purple hearts!
Scum!

[Fridays Child]

8. The fake rallies, staged to give them the veneer of legitimacy...

...after the election they knew they would be stealing.

[Fridays Child]

11. Oh, and the non-answers about the lump in the back of his suit jacket.

[Fridays Child]

And the obvious set-up of Dan Rather.

[DuckBurp]

16. How they equated support for them as being patriotic

and religious. And voter fraud. I still think the exit polls could not have been that far off.

[Fridays Child]

32. Welcme to DU, DuckBurp.

:hi:

You're among many here who believe that the early exit polls were accurate.

[PST]

10. Cheney saying that if Kerry got elected

a 2nd terrorist attack would be likely.

that showed they will do and say anything to be in power.
fucking scumbags.

[ck4829]

14. Stupidest Statement Ever

Did Cheney say that we should reelect the guy who failed to prevent a terrorist attack?

[PST]

19. strangely the liberal media didn't ask that question

although it was a very obvious one imo

[Piperay]

12. Yeah that is another

thing I will NEVER forgive the repukes for, that was the dirtiest in a dirty campaign...the swift boat liars. :mad: :grr: :nuke:

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

15. Cheney whining "John Kerry can't protect you from TERRA"

And I could give a flying fuck about DU's politically correct moratorium on the word "bitch."

Cheney acted like a BITCH when he made that statement.

:grr:

[rzemanfl]

17. Every fucking breath the bastards drew. n/t

[WLKjr]

18. the corrals, or pens or FUCKING PROTEST AREAS FAR AWAY FROM ANYTHING!

Farthest back I think I was in dayton at one could have been a quarter mile.


Lima took them by suprise though, up close in the waiting line to see that bastard on school grounds. Got so many ignorant fucks acting like children and pouting it was funny!

[Strawman]

20. Their underlying contempt for the American people and for democracy

That's what's behind all the manipulation and lies and mean spiritedness: this general feeling that they have some kind of divine right to wield absolute power. They purposely turn the practice of democracy into a farce.

[Solly Mack]

22. I'm still not over Selection 2000...2004 was pure farce to me.

[yewberry]

23. The thing that finally got me to call the White House

Yes, I was infuriated by the lies, the pandering, the exruciatingly bad policy, all of the above.

What got me on a really personal level was the way they talked about us, the citizens who disagreed with them. I was living outside Boston at the time.

They mocked us. Those filthy slugs made fun of me, my neighbors, and the state in which I was born, in front of cheering crowds of "real" americans all over the country. Bush making smarmy remarks about Boston and Cheney proclaiming that "they don't share our values." After the RNC, Cheney arriving out west and saying that it was good to be back in "God's country" (that prompted the angry phone call) and the good people of (insert state here) lapping it up.

After the "election" I wanted my fellow Massholes to all get out their shovels and dig a trench around the state, but I never got any real momentum behind that idea.

[Kansas Wyatt]

25. How all of Bush's minions went on tv and kept repeating....

Already proven wrong Rovian talking points, and they were allowed to get away with it.

Of course, most of America did not see the Not So Swift Boat Liar Leader on Ted Koppell whining because he was proven to be a LIAR, since the MSM did not constantly repeat that over and over again (unlike the constantly repeated Not So Swift Boat Lies).

[MichiganVote]

27. Townhall meetings for Republicans only. I'll die before I ever vote Repub.

for that reason alone. They'll never get my vote--ever.

[DefenseLawyer]

28. The thing I still bothers me

was seeing Bush on election day, when everything was looking so good for Kerry, and then all of the sudden Bush asked the press to come up to the White House residence and they didn't know why. There he was with the whole Bush family and Bush was smiling and said he thought they were going to win. That was it, just invited the press up to say that. I thought it so odd at the time. and the press people started at that point saying "the Bush camp now says the exit polls are wrong". I found the whole scene so fucking odd and I just knew something was up at that point.

[undeterred]

29. I remember that. And just about that time I got a phone call from

the Kerry campaign in my city inviting me to a celebration party at 9pm CST. I didn't go because I had a bad gut feeling about everything.

[Stirk]

30. Nothing about their campaign angered me. What *did* anger me was

the way our corporate media anxiously barked out the Bush campaign's talking points, and helped them to define the debate.

Remember that announcement by one of the big corporate news outlets that they weren't covering Iraq much because, "it could influence the outcome of the election"?

Nothing the Bush campaign did angered me, because nothing the Bush Administration could do would surprise me. I trust the mafia more than I trust the Bush Administration.

33. Smear Boat Liars. The Admiral's Business received an 8-figure contract.

SWIFT BOAT VET GOT $40M CONTRACT FROM BUSH

The Bush White House has denied any connection to the Swift Boat Veterans
for Truth<1> - the group that has been airing factually unsupportable smear
ads against Sen. John Kerry's war record. But a new report today shows that
one of the key accusers in the smear ads was a lobbyist for a company that
recently received a massive federal contract from the Bush administration.

As the Washington Post reports, Rear Admiral William L. Schachte Jr., the
man who claims Kerry was not under fire when he received his first Purple
Heart, is a top lobbyist for a defense contractor that recently won a $40
million grant from the Bush administration. According to a March 18 legal
filing by Schachte's firm, Blank Rome, Schachte was one of the lobbyists
working for FastShip's effort to secure federal contracts.<2> On Feb. 2,
FastShip announced the Bush administration had awarded it $40 million.<3>

little campaign! Damn!

[jean]

34. swift boaters, hands down

[Hello_Kitty]

35. No 1. Swift Boat lying assholes. No 2. Mary Cheney flap

I mean come on! A political operative who makes a LIVING, ferchrissakes, from being the Gay and Lesbian liaison for the Coors company was "outed" by John Kerry?!? The phony outrage by the Cheneys, who assiduously kept their gay daughter out of the spotlight throughout the campaign was simply absurd.

[RobbinsdaleDem]

36. Definitely the Swift Boat Liars

I still can't believe how much air time those slime balls received on TV. It was sickening.

[leftofthedial]
