The Issues? WHO CARES ABOUT THE ISSUES??? The voters want a down and dirty fight! Name one election that was won by a candidate who took the high road? (Hint: 0)<\/p>\n

  • Stop being so goddamn nice<\/strong>, you have less than two months to deliver a knockout (Most people are ready to make up their minds now. Negative ads work. Ask the Swiftboat Liars.)<\/li>\n
  • Enough with Vietnam, already!<\/strong> I commend you for your heroism when I was four years old… but what are you going to do in the here and now?<\/li>\n
  • Keep it simple stupid!<\/strong> Healthcare, taxes, economy…. YAWN!
    \nYour opponent snorted coke at Camp David, went AWOL in his last year in the “Champagne Squadron”, and went INTO hiding like a “girlie man” when our nation was under attack on Sept. 11th when we needed a leader… (Shall I go on?)<\/li>\n
  • Middle Americans are a bunch of sissies<\/strong> that believe terrorism is something new, and Al-Qaeda is going to blow up their Wal-Mart next… start assuring these paranoid losers already!<\/li>\n
  • Less optimism, more fear<\/strong> – Ask Bush how he intends to invade Iran and Syria without bringing back the Draft?<\/li>\n


    \nIf I wasn’t following this closely, I’d think all you do is flip-flop and live in the past with Vietnam. What are you doing to break this image? (In two sentences or less, for once, please.)<\/p>\n

    Stop being so “intellectual” and fucking eloquent… and start reaching out to your common man!<\/p>\n

    Your average American looks at the fuckup-in-chief, and all his “missspoke-u-lations”, and go… hey, “Bush is dumb… just like me! He’s got my vote!”<\/p>\n

    What’s wrong with that picture?<\/p>\n

    Damn, Kerry… you piss me off!
    \nMaybe Teresa Heinz-Kerry would like to be President instead (She got spunk! An ex-Republican since 2002. Figures, doesn’t it?).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
