how to beat bush

Aug. 28 - It’s hard to travel across the country these days without seeing an old familiar bumper sticker: “Somewhere in Texas, a village is missing its idiot.” Perhaps the slogan rang true for many progressive voters in this highly partisan, highly charged and highly polarized electorate. But, if the bumper-sticker crowd believes it refers to George W. Bush, they are sorely mistaken.

Sen. John Kerry can win this election by understanding that he is running against a shrewd, clever and an extremely intelligent opponent who was trained in political combat by the late GOP strategist Lee Atwater.

With all the former aides and strategists to Al Gore on board, the Kerry campaign has shown that it is wise enough to learn from some of the mistakes we made in 2000. Namely, Kerry has utilized the ubiquitous President Bill Clinton as a surrogate of sorts, and also habitually reminded voters of the prosperity and fiscal discipline enjoyed during the Clinton years.

However, as tacit as the Kerry campaign has been, it must tread lightly through segments of the political battlefield. Four years ago, I personally witnessed the relentless attacks on former Vice President Gore’s character from third-party surrogates with loose, but ideologically significant ties to the Bush campaign. After having a high-energy and well-defined convention where Kerry was introduced as a decorated war hero he was forced to play defense by a group of former Vietnam veterans vehemently opposed to his candidacy. As the challenger, Kerry had to personally respond to these scurrilous attacks on his character with the hopes of setting the record straight before November. Thankfully for Kerry, this back-and-forth occurred in the slow news month of August and not in October, which would have made it omnipresent in the minds of voters.

Yes, he did -- and then earned an MBA from Harvard Business and then got through the rigorous curriculum/training in fighter pilot school. Oh, did I forget to mention that kicked Ann Richards' booty in the debates and then took the governship away from her for two terms -- a fact Richards acknowledged and tried to warn the democrats about? I guess they were too busy listening to Molly and the "Bush Is A Dummy" chorus.

Hey, Double, welcome to FR. Don't let some of our over-sensitive friends here spoil your post.

Not all newbies are DU trolls.

Donna is a failed attempt at affirmative action.

Dear Ms. Ivins,

Did you read this current article by Donna Brazile?

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5851875/site/newsweek/

In it, she states, "Sen. John Kerry can win this election by understanding that he is running against a shrewd, clever and an extremely intelligent opponent who was trained in political combat by the late GOP strategist Lee Atwater."

This just can't be and I think you should write a reply column straightening poor Donna out. We all know that the "Shrub" only got through Yale, Harvard Business and fight pilot school because Daddy pulled strings. And he only beat Ann Richards in the debates out of plain old luck, notwithstanding Ann's claims to the contrary.

It's time to put Donna in her place and I think you're just the woman to do it!

Ever yours,

Wasn't Brazille fired from the Dukakis campaign? Or was she fired from someone else's campaign for kicking off the Willie Horton tar baby?

[Honestfreedom]

I wonder which town is missing an overweight Black woman with a big mouth.

[.38sw]

Oh, and welcome to Free Republic! I never needed the surgery (had just the opposite problem).

[Kaslin]

Remember Donna Brazille was Soreloser Al Gore's campaign manager. I think that should say it all

Double DDs: Welcome to Freerepublic

[RichInOC]

Bill Clinton knows how to beat...oh, sorry, wrong kind of bush.

[Stentor]

And did you know you can get reduction surgery for those Double D's?

Green eyes?

[.38sw]

Nah. Just concerned about the shoulder and back pain.

[Skooz]

How to beat Bush:

1. Lie
2. Gain control of media apparatus (accomplished)
3. Lie
4. Register nursing home patients, patients at mental facilities and mental retardation centers and make sure to bus them to the polls with careful instructions on which lever to pull.
5. Ditto the homeless (may require payment of a carton of smokes)
6. Lie
7. Register the dead and make sure they vote in November
8. Lie

[Stentor]

Just concerned about the shoulder and back pain.

I never worried about the pain as long as they kept it to themselves.

Boldly going satirical in a way only the best of the best dare venture, this warrants a standing ovation!

ROFL Bonaparte!!!!

Don Novello's got nothing on you.
