I understand * has a hair trigger temper.
I would love to see Kerry tock him off something fierce and cause him to blow his stack....like calling him (for example) a deserter to his face and a disgrace to this country. If he blew his top, it could be all over.

3. Or that the Bushes helped RevMoon gain power all over the world and now
Moon controls almost half this nation's fishing industry and a good chunk of its news sources.

Bush's Saudi buddies also own a big chunk of AOL/CNN and his Aussie fascist crony, Rupert Murdoch, ALSO owns a big chunk of US news outlets.

Wanna know what's WRONG with the news media today? Bushes have allowed its control by their foreign fascist friends.

4. Kerry should just tell him
he didn't realize Bush was so short.
Does he need a little stool to stand on?

5. Last week a pundit suggested Kerry should get * p.o.ed
at the debates. His reasoning was that *'s bad temper has yet to be seen by the average voter. He said that * angry presents a very unflattering, UGLY face, and that if the average voter saw him react to Kerry the way he does with the press, Kerry could take it home that night, simply by remaining calm.

I'd pay to see that!

10. Yes, that would tie in nicely
with the two-faced image campaign, showing the voters a face of Bush* that they don't usually see and most of them wouldn't recognize. He is truly a hideous sight when angry.

13. Still reading Kitty Kelley's book, "The Family"
BoyGeorge is renown for his bad temper. Apparently many of BoyGeorge classmates and frat buddies report that he is a nasty drunk, has a hair trigger temper and loves to fight dirty. (Bush was part of the class of 1968 which produce more than share of notables - but very few have come forward to support this asshole.

His favorite sport in college was "pig ball." BushCo made it up all by himself. Something about throwing the football high into the air and then just repeatedly hitting one member of the other team. According to the DKE boys, the game had no purpose, aim, or goal except to hit on someone and hit them hard.

Reports that when he got hit back though he would go off like a firecracker and retaliate. Playground bully boy stuff.

15. I think a lot of thatr stuff has been reported in Time and Newsweek!
But most people don't care what either candidate was doing three decades ago .... unless they're looking for reasons not to like Bush or Kerry.

34. Didnt WH insiders say at some point...
That he goes off with no warning? One minute he's all holy (after all he IS chosen) and the very next he's cursing a blue streak about one thing or another, throwing his toys and crayons all over if he doesnt get his way?? I dont really remember where I read this, but I know I did.
:kick:

11. It's a nice fantasy, but it won't happen
If the Paxil isn't strong enough, there are other psychotropic drugs that will put the rein on Stupidhead, yet still allow him to parrot whatever's coming through his earpiece.

14. As far as I'm concerned Kerry only has to do three things.
1. Speak truth
2. State his plans.
3. Piss * off.

* is a t his worst he is pissed. Best way would to be to interrupt him. He looks like such an ass when he gives his "I'm the president and I get to finish" tantrum.

19. The media has been discussing this quite a bit
about how Bush has a bad temper, & showing clips of Bush vs McCain in 2000.

The problem is that Bush is very, very disciplined.

I heard that Ann Richards tried to rile him during their debate, & he did not go off message.

He will probably be ready for this tactic, & be able to avoid it.

20. yes, but if Kerry starts to undress him with facts
Bush will not be able to hide his anger. That is the key. To force him out of his Rove approved game plan.

21. It would make great TV but two negative things come to mind
First off. If Kerry managed to piss off and upstage Bush, the MEDIA would blame bush's tantrum on Kerry's 'terrible', undisciplined behavior and say that Bush had a right to get pissed. Just like Cheney did :eyes:

The other possibility would be that Bush would hold it in and not get mad on TV but get EVEN later on...........like he always does when people cross him.

Still, like all of you, I'd at least like to see the worm squirm..just a little :evilgrin:

22. that's what James Fallow...
...said tonight on c-span. It's the one thing that can make * go off message and look ugly. He said that he's sure that the Kerry campaign is working on ways to trigger that anger, and the Bush campaign is hammering him to stay on message.

23. Has it been confirmed whether Bush will wear an earpiece?
I imagine Rove & Co. piping in soothing music laced with subliminal messages whenever they see him start to get angry: "Stay calm...deep breaths...show them the happy face..."

24. A fantasy of mine...
I wish I could inhabit the Chimp's body during the debates. Yes, it would be rather disgusting to be inside that disgusting little man, but it would be totally worth it. I'd start screaming "shut up! Shut up! Fuck you! Fuck you!" and then defecate all over myself, flinging my feces at Kerry (I wouldn't actually hit him, of course... I love JK too much).

I'd love to see the media spin that.

26. He hates when intelligent people talk about things he doesn't understand
Edited on Tue Sep-28-04 06:56 AM by in_cog_ni_to
Which is just about EVERYTHING! In John O'Neill's book there were several stories about Bush losing his temper when his cabinet members would talk about policies in "technical/intelligent/over his head" style....Bush..."WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!" Then he would proceed to berate THEM and make them look small to make himself look better. Remember that quote from O'Neill's book?...."He was like a deaf man in a room full of blind men." The dumbing down of the presidency so boy chimp doesn't look to be the fool he is. His policy briefs couldn't be more than 3 pages long because he wouldn't read them if they were longer and O'Neill was never sure he even read the 3 page reports!

That's what Kerry should do. Talk about the environment, economics, health care, foreign policy in a way the chimp would never be able to understand. He'll lose it. He hates looking stupid in front of people. Looking stupid on National TV would push him over the edge. :evilgrin: JMCPO :hi: But then, the sheeple may hold it against Kerry for being TOO INTELLIGENT. :eyes:

John O'Neill is that vile little shit who is so insecure about his own manhood he went after war hero Kerry in that book.

29. "There he goes again", RR. in this one, Bush will try it, to make fun of
Kerry. Like..."is that your final decision??" hinting of a flip flopper.

Kerrys comeback would be along this line: Everyone does it...I know of no person who is so stubborn that they never change their minds. Only fools are steadfast in mistakes and blunders.

31. Bush demeanor
Dubya has the ability to rein in his temper and appear casual and chatty...MOST important he rarely shouts. Kerry must hold is volume down. There is a microphone there. BE CHATTY in volume and pace. The most experienced and effective speaker has learned that people will listen if they feel they must for a low voice. A screamer is just another politician ranting - easily shut out of really hearing. Winston Churchill spoke low and almost mumbled, people had to really work to get his messeage-AND THEY DID

35. Kerry Needs to Set the Right Level of Discourse
It has to be knowledgable and sophisticated enough so that Bush's answers seem childish in comparison. He should not talk down to the American public.

Merely doing what any strong, decisive, fearless warrior would do when confronted by a vicious smear by his opponent!"
