As always, soliciting FReeper comments, observations, and opinions.

[secret garden]

Oh my. Stuffinenvelopes will have the dems' full attention today.

[OldFriend]

They'll all be playing footsies under the table......while bashing President Bush of course.

[ChadGore]

It's Nader day . . . right ?

[secret garden]

Too bad most of their nailbiters will be watching Mr. Potato Head and Ralph.

[maica]

"My" congressman is on CSPAN right now -

leader of Cong black Congress

caller just asked him why his party could only come up with an ambulance chaser and a gigolo for candidates = caller could have been a Freeper!

[NautiNurse]

Kerry is MIA again this week.

MTP should be interesting.

[McGruff]

From the tone of the Today Show today, it looks like it's going to be Trash Ralph Nader day.

He stole the election from Gore in 2000, His supporters don't want him to run this time, He'll give the election to that evil George Bush,....

Chris Matthews went as far to call him The Anthrax Candidate I guess meaning nobody should touch him.

Attention all Deaniacs. Please report to the Ralph Nader campaign.

[dawn53]

No, look again, he's on This Week with, as a previous poster called him, Stuffinenvelopes.

[autoresponder]

Warm up your VCRs, DVDs, audio tape recorders for Kerri(BOTOX! MAKEUP!)/Edwardo(CURLERS! HAIRSPRAY!) on ABC this morning!


Something unprofound and mega-stupid will be said!

[SkyPilot]

I wish this is how the This Week show would unfold:

Bring It On!!!

OK--you called your fellow Vietnam Vets war criminals, rapists, mutilators, thugs, and traitors during the Winter Soldier propaganda campaign. Then, you gave aid and comfort to the enemy by your actions and protested with provocateurs and communists.

Then, you voted to gut defense, the CIA, the FBI, and DIA. By the way, how much did you pay to Alex's father to make him go from calling you a "sleezeball" to the British press and then saying he would vote for you -----in only 3 days?

Oh--and can you tell us exactly how you received 3 purple hearts in 4 months? Who submitted the paperwork for the citations--your superior, or you yourself?

How Dare You!

Well, what happened to "Bring It On????

[LongsforReagan]

Thank goodness for TIVO between wanting to watch Arnie AND Bill Owens this morning, plus Ralph!!!

[debg]

Too bad the Kerry thing is taped. I'd rather he be unedited..

[Maigrey]

Face the Nation seems quite "balanced" and so does Fox.

[skinkinthegrass]

Ready, Set, Tape/Watch....Thanks, AB!

[MeekOneGOP]

I hate watching these arseholes on TV. All it does is make me angry.

Dang it ! It's over EIGHT MONTHS until the elections, too !

[zook]

I have this feeling gnawing at me that the Nader thing is all a set up. He won't run, he'll endorse the Dems, and Fox News takes a hit for being wrong.

I hope I'm wrong.

[ChadGore]

[dawn53]

Did you read his rebuttal to the Nation article?

Sure sounded like he was going to run.

[Miss Marple]

If Ralph doesn't run after all the hoopla, we will be able to say that he does the Rat's bidding. That should infuriate all the Greenies and far left. If he does run, we will be able to watch the Rats attack him, and that will split the party even more.

I do so love win-win scenarios.

[Wait4Truth]

I have had that gnawing feeling, too. I hope we are both wrong.

[TomGuy]

[Wait4Truth]

Arnold on first...we'll have to wait for the Nader decision! Russert wants to keep viewers for the whole hour!

[Huck]

This Week sucks! I thought they were going to face off against each other, not play dueling infomercials. I ain't watching it. I'll watch the rest of the Churchill movie on HBO.

[NautiNurse]

Gee--I missed seeing Kerry in the list, and will miss seeing him on the program.

[Miss Marple]

What? All week the Rats have been saying they would debate on This Week! What a scam!

[McGruff]

This guy is starting to remind me of Michael Jackson.
Every time you see him he looks different.

[Miss Marple]

Looks like he has had cotton stuffed in his cheeks.

[Wait4Truth]

I agree! I, too, thought Kerry and Edwards were going to face off, not just put infomercials on the air. Pathetic! I really get the feeling that Kerry is afraid to debate Edwards one-on-one. He has said he won't do it, insisting Sharpton and Kucinich must be there! And yet, he has written a letter to the President telling him he wants to debate the war! What an arrogant jerk!

[NautiNurse]

This guy is starting to remind me of Michael Jackson.

He needs a botox refill.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

I missed the first five minutes of Arnold. Have they covered gay marriage yet?

[StriperSniper]

I provide...

Mrs. Heinz must be giving him the checkbook!

[Alissa]

Arnold is doing good. Tim just tried to throw a left hand ball against Bush. Tim is incredulous when Arnold tells him Bush can carry CA. Tim is saying Bush's budget is giving CA less money than before.

[Neets]

He's got on more foundation than I use in a month.

[McGruff]

Edwards says he wants High Speed Internet access for all.

Who's gonna pay for that I wonder?

[not-alone]

He eyes seem sunk , bags under them and then those two bumps in his cheeks. Now he is back to long ramblings.

[StriperSniper]

[thesummerwind]

Kerry will be pleading, "don't attack my record."

And Edwards will be assuring him, "I didn't, Bush did."

[MoodyBlu]

Haley Barbour just called alQerry the taller, thinner version of Teddy Kennedy. The way he said with a little smile was great!

MoodyBlu

[StriperSniper]

Edwards - We can't give everyone the heathcare plan that Senators have because of cost(We have a gold plated plan encrusted with gems at the expense of you suckers paying taxes).

[COBOL2Java]

He's got on more foundation than I use in a month.

Reminds me of an old Henny Youngman one-liner - he was referring to Tammy Faye Baker, but we can apply it to Kerry:

"I hear they removed all of the makeup and you know what they found? Jimmy Hoffa!"

[NautiNurse]

Thanks for the update. I'm going out for a while.

[StriperSniper]

He said that at least twice on Washington Journal earlier. ;-)

[Diogenesis]

"I agree! I, too, thought Kerry and Edwards were going to face off,
not just put infomercials on the air. Pathetic!
I really get the feeling that Kerry is afraid to debate Edwards one-on-one.
He has said he won't do it, insisting Sharpton and Kucinich must be there!
And yet, he has written a letter to the President telling him he wants to debate the war!"

Why can't he have it both ways?
When Dole (Republican) ran for the President,
he was forced (by the Democrats and their servants, the Press) to give up his Senate seat.
Yet when Lieberman (Democrat) ran for Vice President,
he cleverly ran for BOTH Semate and VP in the same election. The Press did not care.
Now the Democrats (and their servants, the Press) want Kerry elected Pres AND to keep his seat. Creative.

[rodguy911]

F'ingeportedly had "technical" wounds and after the third cry-babied to go home. All this in four months.Ollie North on the other hand,a true Vietnam war hero, refused the third purple heart cause he was afraid they would send him home! He's the real hero. F'ing is just another lib-dem phony who can't even raise any bucks cause bill and hill haven't O.K.'ed the money-balloon release yet.

[Miss Marple]

Good old Haley! I am waiting for MTP...won't be on for an hour here.

[rodguy911]

Rusert's turn signal is stuck on left

[Wait4Truth]

There are only rules for Republicans. RATS are allowed to do anything they want with the media's blessing. I do not understand why many people in the country cannot see the daily double standard. I try to have faith in the public but it gets very difficult sometimes. The thing that has me bugged the most right now is that Kerry is lauded for mudslinging against the President while the President is basically told by the media that he cannot attack Kerry. It's just pathetic.

[McGruff]

Senator Edwards, see a doctor. Get that thing off your lip.
I know Cindy Crawford and you are no Cindy Crawford.

[Neets]

It is rather distracting, isn't it?
