"Kerry won, but on 'Style over Substance' only"... that's their spin
Edited on Fri Oct-01-04 12:18 PM by zaj
I'm seeing and hearing it already. People calling in to our local conservative talk radio and Freepers posting it on my regular sports message board.

5. Don't you know?
Kerry's one of 'dem French homoqueer FAGS. Not a macho manly man's man like our fearless Pretzledent.

7. The imlpication, of course. . .
Is that Bush had more Substance, while Kerry had more Style. Imagine that. Just imagine the media ridiculing Kerry for being TOO charismatic and eloquent. If he'd lacked style, he would have been "the same old old winded Kerry". What's a guy to do?

But this phrase "Style over Substance" is dangerous, because it IMPLIES the opposite without actually saying the opposite. The only Substance I heard coming out of Bush's mouth during that debate was the sort of viscous stuff they sprinkle over freshly plowed fields.

9. Shrub had Substance?
What is their definition of Substance?
The "LIBERAL" media is good at spinning for this asshole, that is the only truth to that story
