Bush looked a little scared! Kerry looked like he was ready to KICK ASS! I think Bush is afraid of Bin Laden and Kerry is the type of guy who would chase him down through the jungle and blow his ass off! Bush would hide behind Kerry's leg. Am I the only person who noticed this?

1. Bush isn't so much scared as he is still clueless. 4 yrs has taught him
nothing.

2. * looked like he had just tied one on - since he was the
first to receive the news why did it take him so long to respond - huh?

3. Bush looked like he had just been told by his advisors
that this tape was going to sink him because it would remind everyone that OBL had been given his freedom by DimSon.

4. They both looked tired and dispirited, probably because of the news.
But, Kerry reacted like a president should; sucked it up and delivered the goods, where Scrub re ponded with canned shit and looked totally unconvinced of what he was saying.

9. No shit. Here are the statements. You decide.
JMM had a comment about this at his blog - http://talkingpointsmemo.com/

Which of these two statements sounds like it comes from the stronger leader?

John Kerry: In response to this tape from Osama bin Laden, let me make it clear, crystal clear. As Americans, we are absolutely united in our determination to hunt down and destroy Osama bin Laden and the terrorists. They are barbarians. And I will stop at absolutely nothing to hunt down, capture or kill the terrorists wherever they are, whatever it takes. Period.

George W. Bush: Earlier today I was informed of the tape that is now being analyzed by America's intelligence community. Let me make this very clear: Americans will not be intimidated or influenced by an enemy of our country. I'm sure Senator Kerry agrees with this. I also want to say to the American people that we're at war with these terrorists and I am confident that we will prevail.


You decide

11. It was like Bush was saying to the Reps "Kerry is OK..Trust him"
"And even if I lose you will be in good hands..."

12. Of course that's not difficult
Edited on Sat Oct-30-04 11:22 AM by senseandsensibility
Kerry is a real man, and * is a chimp with a deer in the headlights expression.
