35. Why are Pickles and Lynn wearing the same
clothes they have been wearing for the last four years? It's not like they can't afford a new dress. Frumps.

17. not too many balloons
but what's on the big screen behind them falling down, blood platelets?

Bush just made an attempt at "striking a pose" next to Pickles, looked like an ass

Bush & Cheney whispering on the big circle, must be calling someone an asshole

Cheney probably making sure the robot's circuits are all tucked in

38. Well,, it WAS his best speech
But the bar is set so low that Bushie would have to reach up to touch bottom. His best, but he couldn't compare to the 12 year-old young lady at the Dems convention.

24. Personally I thought it was on a par
Edited on Thu Sep-02-04 10:20 PM by shraby
with a high school commencement speech.

on edit: I've heard better high school commencement speeches and they actually using more than one syllable words...unlike this unisyllable speech.

32. same promises as in 2004 which means he accomplished
nothing, no mention of his gigantic deficit, actually said he is a "compassionate conservative". the rest was quite akin to war-mongering and thinly veiled or blatant fundie propaganda. i thought it was terrible as a campaign speech, even for him

37. trite tripe
Almost unwatchable. Shallow cliches, manipulation. Shameful. And full of ironies, like when he said we were going to insist on accountability and results -- and he's still running for another term.

18. How long before any of them say the word "EXPLOITED?"
How long before they talk about how many people have DIED in Iraq?
How long before they breathe a HINT of the fact that 9/11 was a colossal FAILURE of BushCo????

Wolf Blitzer nervously changes the subject, remembering the f-bomb that they let go out over the air during the balloon fiasco.

36. The last 15 minutes WERE great
The first three-quarters he sucked--no timing, thrown off by the disruptors. After the last disruptor he seemed to get strengthened by it and gave his best delivery ever. He saved the convention.

39. He stood not only on the graves of those who died 9/11, but also
propped himself up on the graves of those who died from the Revolutionary war through slavery and the Civil war and on through American history, tying it to his miscalculation and PNAC agenda in Iraq causing the needless deaths of thousands.

You think that was great? Please tell me you're kidding.

45. It would be great if it were true
Unfortunately half the electorate doesn't know truth until it jumps up and bites them on the ass. Several times.

You're absolutely right. It was the most shameful speech I've ever heard. The orgy of idol worship is over and the battle begins.

41. The thing I found the most offensive
The way these vicious people USED 9/11 and the loss of the people of NY as a reason to justify their bloodlust. My blood boiled tonight when people in the audience cried during the "remember the victums" parts of the speech. If they want to drop bombs on "darkie" why don't they do it in their OWN name. Instead they have to polute the pain of somebody else and turn it into something evil. If I was a New Yorker I would be so furious, I'd be shaking with anger right now. Somebody should raise the 100,000 dollars it takes to place a full page ad in the NYT saying GOODBYE and NEVER use me for an excuse to hate, steal and kill again. These so-called humans are beyond words.

43. The clearer Bush gets about his true feelings, the crazier he sounds.
His war on TERROR has nothing to do with any specifc enemy. It's a religious crusade against EVIL.
