AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2004 damn, now thats some serious mudslinging there. good lord. this will be a BRUTAL campaign Has Kerry done ANYTHING during his campaign but bitch about the current administration? Maybe I'm not listening in much (because at the candidate stage, I as a Republican don't care), but that's all I've been hearing. The Democrats seem to have succumbed to a terrible bout of wishful thinking, like Michael Moore bringing a condom in his wallet to a Sports Illustrated swimsuit-photo shoot. Sorry, but that was friggin' gold. -=Mike ...Yeah, trashing Michael Moore = comic gold Come on, you know Moore wouldn't be there unless the catering was the shiznizzy.

Guest MikeSC Report post Posted February 12, 2004 The smear campaign starts...and by Fox News! I didn't see that one coming. God knows Kerry hasn't smeared a soul yet, huh? Bush hasn't been attacked AT ALL. -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Tyler; Captain America 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2004 Yeah, because it's a bad thing to say things about the people you're facing. I haven't heard any of the candidates talking about Bush's cocaine use or alcoholism, have you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob E Dangerously 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2004 and how will John Kerry differ from Bush? Kerry voted for the Iraq war and offered a weak excuse that makes him seem gulliable. Kerry is a war hero who is anti-war but voted for the war but he protested the war he was a hero in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't forget that he is anti-war who voted for the war of Iraq but WOULDN'T have voted for it had he known the information wasn't...well not what it was I guess...I shouldn't even try to fucking figure it out.

So they attack him on a legitmate topic like his foreign policy voting record and all of a sudden this is a smear campaign? Please. The guy has made some very stupid decisions in foreign policy, and this is in a whole different league than the "OMG BUSH DIDN'T SERVE" bullshit that is trying to get passed off as a real issue.

C Dubya 04 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2004 I think that both sides need to admit that there will be negative things said during the campaign. It's amazing that anyone would deny that. I'm a democrat and I think it's horseshit to bring up if Bush served or not. But, I don't for a second believe that the Republicans won't be digging up just as much petty shit about whomever runs.

None of the candidates are responsible for the AWOL issue. That's been brought up in liberal circles since 2000. Mike was talking about the policy attacks on Bush by democratic candidates. I was pointing out that this is simply bullshit. Surely, you understand this, don't you? Edited February 12, 2004 by Tyler McClelland Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
