  • Role play: You are John Kerry...

    ...and it is Saturday, 20 August, 2005.

    The man who beat you in a Presidential election over nine months ago, George W. Bush, is struggling. His closest advisor is the focus of an investigation involving the outing of a CIA operative; Iraq continues to implode, as now the arbitrary Constitutional deadline seems to be spurring a move towards Islamic law and fewer rights for women; more members of his own party are questioning his leadership and plan of war; his poll numbers appear to be dropping towards the 30s.

    And this is the same man who beat the piss out of you in November.

    Do you:

    A) Cry yourself to sleep every night like a little girl.
    B) Slit your wrists
    C) Hunt down the people who ran your campaign and execute them, gangland-style
    D) All of the above
    E) Other

      I don't think Bush is struggling. Most of his policies are running smoothly.

      Besides, Bush is a good politician who is underestimated all the time by everybody except his allies. I thought Kerry ran at least a half-way competent campaign. Bush would have rolled over everybody else in the Democratic field. If Kerry is hugely disappointed in his effort, it's mainly because of his hubris and the overwhelming hubris of the Democratic Party.
      I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

        I think Kerry itself is the only person to blame for losing the elections, you cannot become president by coming up with something stupid every single day of your campaign
        I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

          I'd raise taxes, obviously. Because I'm a democrat, and that's just what we do.

            Well, he's probably thankful that he doesn't have to deal with Iraq himself. He never had any particularly strong ideas on that front.

                First, I'd get my neck bolts greased.

                ACK!

                  51-48 is hardly "beating the piss," and is much closer than it seemed it would be 2 weeks before the election.

                  I don't think Bush is struggling.


                  Kerry ran at least a half-way competent campaign.


                  Bush would have rolled over everybody else in the Democratic field.
                  I don't think it would have been any different, as people weren't really voting on the men in 2004. Although I think Clark would have been more of threat than Kerry was.

                  Besides, if the GOP couldn't Swiftboat the Dem candidate, things would likely have been tougher for Bush.

                  If Kerry is hugely disappointed in his effort, it's mainly because of his hubris and the overwhelming hubris of the Democratic Party.
                  Well, at least their hubris didn't lead to a boondoggle of a war that is getting American men and women killed nearly daily. Oopsie.

                      I think all democrats should be ashamed that they can't stop Bush from doing what he wants to do, how he wants to do it. Kerry at least put up a spirited and competent fight.

                      Since when have any democrats been able to even push back on one of his policies? He wants to confirm his guy to the SC? No problem. He wants to pass an energy bill? No problem. He wants to pass a highways bill? No problem. He wants his budget passed? No problem. Etc. Etc.

                      Before the year's through, I half expect to see Social Security reform passed, and Bush's second term agenda put through on a clean sweep, as no other second-term president that I can recall has done. He's already made Reagan look like a piker. Remember "dead on arrival"?

                      Don't get me wrong. I enjoy the Democrats still underestimating Bush after getting their clocks cleaned by him for years. Hey, maybe Bush will even increase his seats in the congress next election, like excedingly few second-termers before him.
