Reply #65: Was that your attitude during the campaign?

[LittleClarkie]

That he was "so bad"? How did you campaign for someone you considered "so bad"?

I'm blaming everyone. Me, you, Soros, Kerry. No fair excluding oneself and just pointing a finger at the candidate.

If Kerry lost, and I'm not convinced, then it wasn't for lack of trying. But in some cases, it was the wrong kind of help. It was negative help, not positive.

And I think that you are underestimating Bush's popularity among the freepers. He is unpopular to us, but then our vote was never in question. Some of the freepers around here just love the damn fool. God knows why.

I think Bush's numbers have been sinking since the election because, unlike during the election when he waved his little flag and shouted "9/11!" the electorate is actually getting a gander at his agenda. And it's scaring the peepers out of some of them. Others love the idea of privatizing social security, because they think they can invest it well.

Kerry indeed had a boat load of people. And if he did lose, those who were trying to help who didn't really believe in Kerry, but instead campaigned against Bush, have learned a valuable lesson. Negative campaigning doesn't work so well. It makes the other side defensive. It also doesn't give a reason why a person should vote FOR our candidate. Sometimes the devil you know, and all that crap.

You DOLE-D my candidate. Damn you. Damn you all to hell! (/clinteastwood)
Oh great, now I'm picturing Kerry buried up to his chest in sand on a beach somewhere. Makes sense in a way. After all, we DO have an ape overlord, don't we?
