. ..Kerry is much smarter than we are giving him credit for.


You see, it is all part of a subversive plot to leverage the US culture, of this coming month.


















oh, right, the picture;

Does it ever strike you guys just how strong the Republican negative publicity mahcine is - for instance, with the exception of the Oomp Loompa one, this stuff all gets created on the net incredibly quickly as those in the blogosphere try to outdo one another in a glorious wankfest.

Far, far less appear to me to be made (or at least widely distributed) about Bush than Kerry.

The reason I find it interesting is that I would have thought that "conservatives" would take the moral high ground. But nope - its left to liberals (like me, haha)

Cam, I guess you are having trouble recognizing a rational, respectful, substantive post when you see one.

Rather = bad, and biased. He WANTED an outcome and believed the dodgy intelligence he was presented with...

...just like a certain President.

I don't know, maybe it's just me....but I think there's a big difference between believing an INDIVIDUAL who admittedly has an agenda and believing the intelligence reports of SEVERAL COUNTRIES including our own. But again, maybe that's just me.

Kerry is asking for your vote, and not asking for you to have sex with him. Get over it and stop this homoerotic discussion.

Next you will be talking about stuffing:
Just can't get enough dress-up, can he?

Like stuffing a turkey?

I am, in fact, offended. If he's a Captain, he ought to have scrambled eggs on his cover. That well-tanned man is clearly out of uniform!

The real men in this picture don't need to stuff, only the turkey in the middle is stuffed. Sorry for making you look at men's croches, not my idea of a good time either.

Ya know, I was starting to wonder about your fixation there.

See any good ballet lately?

I guess if you can't talk about the economy, the deficit or 1,000+ Americans dead for no good reason, you colorize photos and make up stories about Botox.

Doesn't anyone find it odd that Kerry has been on TV constantly for the past three days and never looked orange except in that one photo?

Anyone ever hear of PhotoShop?

RUSSERT [after playing a 1971 clip of Kerry stating that he took part in war atrocities in Vietnam]: You committed atrocities?

KERRY [laughing]: Where did .... Where did all that dark hair go, Tim? That's a big question for me.

--------
Photoshop, eh? . . .something tells me that Kerry is the one making appearance the issue issue. (cuz he cant talk about anything else)
Should we talk about Kerrys eyebrow(lose the Munster scowl) plucking next?

I'm trying to understand quite how this discussion is flowing, and it's not quite coming together for me. Let me recap:
1 - Cons come out with a picture showing Kerry attempting to repair the weaknesses of his physical appearance to be more appealing to more voters.
2 - Libs come out with crotch-shots of Bush and Lara Croft. I'm not sure I follow the point of this exercise, except perhaps to note that Bush has something, while Lara Croft does not. Apparently sex ed utterly failed for some of us. For those of you who missed it, men and women are different.
3 - Cons point out that Kerry himself has made a point of his physical appearance, specifically in deflection of issues. As in "Here's an issue, let's talk about how good I look, instead."
4 - Libs argue that the Cons brought up the issue, because they can't discuss Real Issues. Libs then claim that Bush is "Like a rock, only dumber." This statement, while apropos of nothing, clearly contains a lot of useful discussion about The Real Issues.

How am I doing?

Dan

LMAO . . .I suppose that some were pre-occupied with mens crotches. . . ..not that there's anything wrong with that, of course.

BTW, you're doing great Dan.
