7. Finding out he's a robot would really swing the election I think...
The Repubotron 2000 is out dated. It stuttered to much and would start talking by itself some times. Very bad.

The Repubotron 2004 is a smooth model that tells lies as seemlessly as ordering pancakes. There have been some reports of some fire breathing and a little Japanamation style rampaging, but they don't expect any of that until after November 2nd where, as a reward for winning, the Repubotron will get a whole litter of puppies to slaughter however it likes.

31. Fear of a crash
Repubotron 2000 runs off the Windows ME OS, prone to frequent crashes.


DAMN BLUE SCREEN!!!!!

9. He doesn't want them to know his name is really Dave.
And the real GWB drank himself into an alcohol-induced coma last March.

12. I know you're referring to the movie, but...
...please don't insult a great name like "Dave" by giving it to that fucking idiot.

Thanks,

One Dave speaking on behalf of Daves everywhere :evilgrin:

20. We will never know
because no news media will ask the question.

Even if it were asked, he'd say, "See... heh, heh. It's hard work. Hard work. Everybody knows it's hard work." Then the media will spin it to mean that he is too busy working to bring peace to the world and safety to America to bother with a physical.

21. Same reason he refused to take his NG physical. "Drugs in his system"
You know they have to drug him up to get through until the election.

32. I agree.
The deterioration in the last few years is evident. I'd be interested in knowing the cause. Of coures, some of the symptoms we see could be the result of medication. For what?

The President needs full mental capacity--what would he do if the country was attacked suddenly? Oh, sorry. We already know that.

29. Dirty underpants
The last time he got one. The doctor told him he needed a urine specimen, a stool sample, and a dab of semem. Bush said I in a hurry can I leave my shorts.

30. The rules of the debate
allow one staff person in the wings, but Bush will also have a military aide and his doctor present. I found this interesting. Puts off physical, has to have his doctor present........

33. I don't know but
I would not put it past them to bring up Kerry's battle with cancer if Kerry takes a lead in the final weeks. It saddens me to say it but I would not put it past Rove and Bush.
