Roughly 56 hours left until Kerry gets killed in debates

[ShaneGR]

I fall back in fear at the thought of Bush, the master debater, destroying Kerry.

We pray for mercy!

1. Whooooooooooooo

Slick Rick Flair!

Nature Boy!!! (aka Na'tch)

[fob]

15. And bush* supporter

He was on the John McEnroe show following Elliot Spitzer and made a point to show his support for bush*, he got some polite applause and that's it.

[funkybutt]

2. BWAHAHAHAHA!

I wonder if it'd be a good thing or a bad thing for Bush to use the option to duck out of the last two debates.

[spooky3]

3. Kerry's probably getting so nervous, that he won't prepare well.

Between that and his being sick, I don't see how we can expect a good performance.

You can't blame him for being intimidated.

[mac56]

4. Kerry's really being a brave little soldier...

to go forward with this, knowing how soundly Bush is going to box his ears.

[BlueNomad]

5. I am just so afraid

that Kerry will wet his pants and everyone will see it. It will be so embarrassing, but I son't blame him for being scared. Bush is so powerful and rugged and smart. it makes me quake when I think about how he will talk circles around Kerry with his pithy succinct stories about life and the war.

6. What Happened

Why is he looking so ill? His face looks like he has way too much make-up on or something. He looks not natural.

[Goldmund]

9. been programming your brain on Drudge?

[camaro69]

12. Not really

It was an honest question of concern.

[Goldmund]

20. The other guy looks like a monkey, so I'm sure he'll be fine.

13. How come?

You take offense at an honest question?

[mac56]

Which "he" are you referring to?

I don't know very much about make-up, so I can't tell who or what you mean.

[camaro69]

27. I thought

This is a John F Kerry thread, isn't it? "He" would be the same John F Kerry. I only asked a question because his (John F Kerry's) complexion color looks extremely un-natural. But instead I get a bunch of smart-ass comments about being new or reading Drudge. Great bunch of people here?

[mac56]

31. Naah, stick around.

You'll have fun.

[progressivebydesign]

17. It's called a "TAN"..

..perhaps you're familiar with that? It something that active people get when they windsurf, boat, campaign.. etc. You can try googling the word "tan" if you'd like.

[mac56]

18. Ssssshhhhh.....

Don't distract him...

He wants to talk about make-up.

[camaro69]

28. Looks more like

agent orange

[mac56]

32. Like I said above -

there's lots of us here who don't know much about make-up.

[eleanor]

38. Agent orange ??

Works quite well during an "orange alert"!

[sistersofmercy]

24. Welcome to DU, camaro69!

The original post is sarcasm. Everyone here knows Kerry will stomp all over bush* in the debate. It should be great fun to behold sort of like the Professor vs Gilligan.

[camaro69]

29. Yes I figured that already. Thanks anyhow

[K8-EEE]

30. Is There Any Way We Can Organize A DU Support Group

...as I am sure there are many of us who will have Post Traumatic Stress disorder from watching Bush, Master Of The English language, skewer poor Kerry with his razor-sharp intellegence and wit!!

OH....OH THE HUMANITY!

[AspenRose]

36. ow ow ow ow OW my side, it hurts

must...breathe....stop....laughing....

:D

[goodhue]

37. Welcome to DU. I think lighting was problem in WI.

I must agree that when I turned on C-SPAN last night I was a taken back by the skin color tone. Maybe it was just the lighting in WI but the tan was very deep red and did not look healthy. Sure, he is always well tanned but this time it looked very bad. I hope it was make-up and lighting or else we are talking skin cancer for sure.

[camaro69]

39. Another Drudge clone?

[goodhue]

42. I've never been to Drudge.

But I do watch some C-SPAN and I was slightly disturbed by this visage last night . . .


Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry speaks to supporters during a meeting at River Valley Middle School in Spring Green Monday. The appearance was expected to be his biggest public event during his stay, as he prepared for the upcoming debates.

[camaro69]

43. Actually

after seeing this picture he does have a good hue?

[in_cog_ni_to]

7. I'm scared.

see?....:scared::scared::scared::scared::scared::scared::scared::scared::scared::scared::scared::scared:

[Crunchy Frog]

16. I'm scared at the prospect

of seeing Bush masturdebate on TV, or at least grossed out. EEEEEEEW!:puke:

[democrat in Tallahassee]

8. just can't bear to watch

[JPZenger]

10. Will There be Any Spontenity?

History shows that the candidates find a way to give prepared answers on topics they want to talk about - regardless of the questions.

Because the debates reach people who do not otherwise pay attention to politics, there is an intent to keep things simple and to repeat the theme of whatever campaign commercial is currently playing.

Good reporters typically try to ask a pointed question that will make a candidate think on their feet. I hope the format allows follow-up questions and allows the candidates to ask each other questions.

[ewagner]

25. Who was it?

who once said to the press "I'm sorry but your questions are not responsive to my answers"

You're absolutely right: No matter what the question they will give the answer nearest to their pre-prepared talking points.

[LoZoccolo]

14. I'd say please don't remind me, but alas, it's true.

I've had to take my sleeping pills to get to sleep for the last two nights. Maybe I should just go to bed early that night and sleep through the debates, too!

[progressivebydesign]

19. OMG! What if Kerry.. likes... SWEATS!!?????

I truly hope that people realize that this is a joke thread... the danger is these threads is that they ARE taken, sometimes, by others and posted as gospel on the awesomeness of Bush and the failing support of Kerry. Be sure to include a few disclaimers in your jokes.. some people actually think you're serious.

[in_cog_ni_to]

21. If he SWEATS....his TAN might wash off!

OMG! :scared:

He should use a Port-A-Fan...set it on his podium and blow it directly on his face....that would be FUNNY! he could make a little smackdown joke on the freepers. :7 Do they make Port-A-Air Conditioners? :hi:

[henslee]

22. murderized. Wholesale carnage. A turkeytshoot.

[gasperc]

23. we definately have to help the DNC etc with post debate spin

the GOP megaphone will be on 11, let's be ready to blast back

[tblue37]

26. I don't think this helps at all.

Low expectations help Bush only because the media spins it in his favor. But if you keep saying Bush is a master debater, the media will spin it as Bush the master debater did it again and demolished his opponent.

Saying Kerry will get creamed give the media one more arrow to shoot him with. I just think it is risky to joke like this.

Also, about Kerry's tan. It is foolish head-in-the-sandism to pretend that it won't matter if he looks too orange or too made up. It hurt Gore in the last election when he was too made up for one debate.

I think (hope) the Drudge pic is photoshopped. If it isn't, all the media whores will talk about is Kerry's orange tan. They will ignore every criticism he makes on the issues and on Bush's lies.

I saw Kerry on PBS last night and he did look deeply tanned, though not at all orange. Even a deep non-orange tan will be sniffed over by the pundits, I'm sure. But an orange one would definitely do him some damage. Why pretend otherwise?

[K8-EEE]

33. Yeah It Does It Helps Me LAUGH!

I THINK IT'S HILARIOUS!

[Generator]

34. I agree!

Especially those that jump in with their "concern" for Kerry. That's a codeword I've noticed.

[K8-EEE]

40. I AM UNCONCERNED!

Truly I am -- Dem voter turnout will be huge, I honestly think Kerry is in the best position and it is RIDICULOUS how they keep using 2000 as a model for this completely different election.

[BootinUp]

35. The tanlarmists around here are too much n/t

[orpupilofnature57]

41. seek the truth, and the truth will make * pee

If Kerry can stay with the concept of factual results of *'s stupid policies,and spends no brain on defending personal attacks,he'll kill him*.
