Don't get lulled into thinking Kerry's going to beat Bush in the debates!

[trumad]

It sure looks like we have a bunch of cocky DU'ers who think that just because Kerry did well in the primary debates, he will do well against Bush. Remember, Bush has never lost a debate and when JK debates Dubya, he'll be debating a seasoned pro.

Let's not get to cocky.

[Cocoa]

1. Kerry has already lost

CNN called it.

[trumad]

3. Yes they did... Now let's hope that Fox will be fair and balanced.

[Worst Username Ever]

2. Bush is a true man of the people.

His eloquence is unmatched.

[Larkspur]

4. Maureen "dud" Dowd I'm sure already has her post-debate op ed

penned. She won't say Kerry won or Bush was a moron, but she'll lambast Kerry for sighing too loudly and rolling his eyes when Bush answered a question.

[geek tragedy]

5. Bush is a ruthless debater who destroyed Ann Richards

and used the format to connect directly with voters.

Bush should wipe the floor with Kerry.

[Worst Username Ever]

7. George W Bush is truly someone most people would want to sit

down with and have a beer. He really relates to the people.

[geek tragedy]

9. If Kerry shares a stage with him and seems more human than

Frankenstein's monster, it will have to be considered a success.

[Ilsa]

Yeah, and unfortunately, that is the

criteria for voting for a candidate that most people have been focused on. Our friends in the media need to redefine the criteria: "After you have your beer with pResident Bush, are you ready to send to your kids off to die in an illegal and immoral war?"

[xray s]

6. There is going to be a debate?

Oh...you mean the joint press conference.

How can you beat "war on terra (smirk) war on terra (smirk) war on terra (smirk) war on terra (smirk) war on terra (smirk)......."

Bush has been practicing that for the last three years.

[MoonRiver]

8. Who says * has never lost a debate???? CNN, ROFL?

I watched the */Gore debates, and Gore WON, despite all whore spins to the contrary.

[LoZoccolo]

10. No way noooooooo way.

Bush* is a master debater.

[MoonRiver]

11. I gotta fine tune my sarcasm meter, me thinks!

:D It's just that some people on DU actually believe that sheet.

[gospelized]

12. i think we should look past this

and start thinking about picking a candidate who has a chance in 2008.

i'm preparing myself to look silly after the debates. Bush will wipe the floor with Kerry.

[buff2]

17. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.............

How was the kool-aid? LOLOLOL....

[Worst Username Ever]

20. Absolutely.

After the debates, we don't stand a chance. Especially during the "town hall" forum, Bush's specialty.

[buff2]

13. What do you mean bu$h has never lost a debate?

Don't tell me with all the stammering,blundering blather he puts out you think he wins? Good God...He talks and acts like a complete basket case. NO way in hell that bastard beat Gore...the bu$h cheerleading talk show anchors and pundits TOLD us all he won,but I didn't drink that kool-aid and I never will. I can't see how anyone can think he's a good debater when he can't even string two sentences together without getting his words all twisted around.Here's an example out of thousands:



"There's an old saying in Tennessee - I know it's in Texas, it's
probably in Tennessee that says fool me once, shame on - shame on
you.
Fool me, you can't get fooled again." - George W. Bush, Sept. 17,
2002, Nashville, TN


HE'S A PHUCKING IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!1

[SpiralHawk]

15. Bush's blather won't go over this time

It will fall flat.

The times they are a changing.

So forseeth and forsayeth I, HawkSpiral

[buff2]

21. I hope he phucks up.......BIG time.......

I also hope Kerry has something he can zing him with that will end his cocky "I've already won" attitude. God,he makes me sick.

[Worst Username Ever]

19. No way. He's an oratory MASTER.

If Kerry isn't reduced to a crying pile, I would consider it a victory.

[Steely_Dan]

27. Actually...

...if Kerry isn't reduced to a whimpering fool by the razor-like wit and wisdom of Bush - he will surely take his life right there in front of God and Country, accepting the sweet release that death would bring.

-P

[mzmolly]

14. Bush is actually a good debator. Anyone who can win a debate with

Ann Richards is someone to contend with. Also the press doesn't expect much from * so if he doesn't shit his pants on stage, he wins.

I'm actually concerned. This debate is KEY for Kerry, it doesn't matter as much to *.

[Rageneau]

16. Smirk Loses EVERY Debate, But...

with the help of the compliant, complacent, complicit RW media, he always wins the Spin.

[West Coast Democrat]

18. Just as long as they don't stand too close to each other during the debate

because Kerry will tower over shrub, and people naturally tend to think of taller people as better leaders.

[LoZoccolo]

22. Kerry should bring a little paper lunch bag...

...just in case he throws up from nervousness, or starts hyperventilating and has to start breathing into it. If he does neither, then he's done a good job.

[Doctor_J]

23. a better matchup would be

* vs. Socrates, or * vs. Churchill. I fear that The Genius will reduce our guy to a snivelling, drooling, babbling pile of man-goo.

[buff2]

24. Phuck this

I'm outta here. It seems like DU has turned into FR. I don't have the stomach for all this bu$h praise. :puke:

[tjdee]

29. Psst. Over here.

(We're comedically trying to lower expectations for Kerry, the same way the Republicans did for Bushie in 2000. We're kidding around.)

AHEM--

Fie upon you, who do not know the oratory skill of Mr. Bush!
You will be crying with that bumbler Kerry on debate night forsooth!

[Worst Username Ever]

26. Sometimes I have trouble discerning whether Bush* is more

like Churchill or Theodore Roosevelt.

[Tempest]

25. Let's get one thing straight - these are NOT debates

They can't even ask each other questions, for God's sake.

It's just a farce.

Bush will memorize a set number of talking points, will concentrate on not smirking, will try correctly pronounce "terrorists" and will stop drinking the night before.

And all the networks will crown him King.

[tjdee]

28. I fear for the children.

John Kerry is going to embarrass all of us when he goes up against that master of words George Bush--but mostly his own college educated children.

:(

Maybe Kerry can request that they bring along prepared statements, and that they not deviate from those statements?
