Let's play a game...Let's predict what the media will do until Nov 2nd
Edited on Tue Sep-21-04 02:33 AM by Melodybe
I already know that they are about to go on a "Kerry is so mean and under handed" diatribe. The media has purposefully kept America in the dark on so many issues, especially the ones that make Bushco look like the criminals they are. Kerry is going to remind people of the lies, the deals, the truth.

Since our media is the only thing keeping Bushco from being in jail at the moment, they are going to cry uncle. Kerry will quickly be labeled as "too mean", and "aren't the campaigns getting so dirty" will be uttered by many very concerned pundints. They are so lame, but be ready. Oh yeah, good ahead and just TURN THAT SHIT OFF! The media has no power if we ignore them. The media has nothing if we tell everyone not to watch them.

Kerry, thankfully has the truth, the world and the future on his side.

If, and I say if, Buscho can manage to steal another election, the first 2 things that will happen in his second term are: 1 Greenspan will jack up the federal interest rate and 2 Bush WILL reinstate the draft.

They will need the money to pay for the war, and the country's youth will see the horrors.

Why can I be so sure that the above 2 will happen? That is always what fascists countries do, they tax the poor and send children to war.

Thank god Kerry has their number. My favorite part of Kerry's DNC speech was when he was talking about Berlin. He understood what it meant for a people to be in that type of government, he understands what we are up against, that was when he won my devotion and hard work.

Kerry is off to a great start, tell eveyone you can to watch the Letterman appearence, that is one everyone should watch, Kerry was confident and honest, I loved every minute.

So back to the game portion of this post, what do you think the media will say next?

Have I mentioned how happy I will be when these fuckers are in jail, maybe FOX news will still be around to weep for their fallen heros.

LMAO

they'll say he's too intense and negative.

Yo, Wolf? Judy? Tucker? You guys got that?

4. They'll still be on Memogate
trying to bring down Kerry's campaign leaders. Lockhart? They'll be harping on the fact that if Bush does start falling in the polls, which would obviously be about Iraq, the economy, his idiotness in general, they will say it's because Kerry's campaign, in cahoots with Dan Rather and CBS news, besmirched Mr. AWOL's character by telling the truth with some damn memo's they didn't scrutinize properly. I hope they find out where those documents came from. This is going to stay in the news all the way up to the election. The repukes don't need an October surprise now, although they might want some icing on that cake.

5. No brainer
Continue to trash Kerry, portray * as a strong leader, RED TERRA RED TERRA, at election time. Pull Osama outta someone's ass, only to say 2 days later (like 11/4), that OOPS, nah, that was Osama's TWIN we murdered (who was probably a good bud of * who had the goods on him). Pull outta Iraq
10/28 and leave 'em all to rot after we fucked 'em over. DECLARE MARTIAL LAW 10/31, elections cancelled on "reliable" evidence, only to discover later, that OOPS, it was 10 years old.

Ah, the possibilities are ENDLESS.

THEY could ALSO come up with Kerry is a fag, we got pichurs, only to discover 3 days after election that they were photoshopped.

Kerry wins votes but there is MASSIVE voter protest (engineered, of course, by Repubs), so it's "investigated" by Repub-owned Congress and Supreme Court, decided in *'s favor.

* wins "so close" due to manufactured polls--Pubs and SC confirm * won.

I put my house up for sale 11/3. Leave for UK on or about 6/1.

* IMMEDIATELY bans Constitution, declares Martial Law, invades Iran.

Armaggeddon.

Jesus arrives.

We are free to be ourselves from here on out. Of course, People only live to 20 yrs by this time, because we all get cancer and die. New generation is 95% afflicted with cancer and die before the age of 15.

Humans gone.

World renews itself.

GOD IS PLEASED.

OVERCROWDING IN HEAVEN AND HELL HAS CEASED.

6. They are going to get really snotty over those memos
Edited on Tue Sep-21-04 04:21 AM by sffreeways
holier than thou about how they were tricked by corrupt campaign operatives and how they are oh so honest and objective and it's their honesty and objectivity that made them vulnerable to the scandal.

They won't touch Bush with anything even mildly critical, if it could get anymore pathetic than it already is. They won't want to be precieved as being liberal like Rather is.

Every allegation against Bush from this moment on will be met with scepticism with a disclaimer that 'this could be another example of a liberal operative connected with the Kerry campaign'.

This whole mess is a creation of Karl Rove I would bet my house on it. It's probably been devised as a way to shield Bush from the eventual documents that will surface that they probably know about already that reveal Bush knew about 9/11 or in some way gave the order for it to happen. Rove invented these documents as a pretext for something else he needs to protect Bush from. Some other documents that they know are coming that are horribly incriminating.

The press will then do the Al Gore on Kerry.

Focus on every wrinkle hair flaw that they can blow out of proportion. Count the number of times he inhales and exhales during the debates and analyze every facial expression concluding that he is just not up to the job.

They will say that the debates were a tie even though Kerry will smash him to pieces.

They will ignore all of Bush's excruciating mispoken sentences and go on about how genuine he is because Kerry tries to hard to be above making any verbal mistakes.

They will talk about Kerry's flaming liberal record and ignore the fact that before the presidency Bush didn't have one except for executions.

They will talk all about Bush and how much dignitude he's brought to the White House.

They will continue to ignore the real Kerry plan for Iraq and continue to pretend he's a flip flopper.

They will do what they have been doing all along only now they can justify it with the document garbage.

I hate them they are whores

7. You are SO cheneying RIGHT
It will be nonstop Kerry is an asshole theme.

I hope to god and satan Bev Harris is right and that massive turnout will give them NO excuse, no win, and that we have that massive turnout.

Do dreams EVER come true, my friend? Must I leave my own country because it isn't mine anymore? I wish I had a hope or a prayer. I am a HERMIT, yet I've got FIVE PEOPLE TO VOTE, including ME (only voted once), my MOTHER (who hasn't voted since 1968), shitload of kids. My daughter, my son, all his friends, etc. We are pretty poor, but I won't blame that on the presnit, just the policies. My front tooth is rotting away--I can't afford to fix it, nevermind whatever HEALTH problems we are currently experiencing.

If there IS a god (I'm an atheist), Kerry will win (and I might believe again).

Sorry, I was way off track here. May you be blessed by what/who/ever.

8. No disaster too small to report
Look for every tornado, hurricane, earthquake or small child stubbing his toe to be covered in detail at the expense of anything political. The media will get off of the election and just let the right wing scum steal it again.

9. Oh I forgot the most important story
Edited on Tue Sep-21-04 06:10 AM by sffreeways
That W is the guy every American wants to invite to their bar-b-que

You know the guy that comes to the party with a 6 pack and drinks it all himself in 5 minutes then drinks everyone elses beer, drops the ribs on the white carpet, steps in the dog shit in the back yard and scrapes his shoe on the stain where the ribs landed, breaks the beer glass and walks away from it, leaves the empty bottle on the toilet tank, barfs in the tub, steals your cd's, puts a cigarette out in the plant after burning the dogs ear with it, uses the phone to call his friends in Panama, grabs your wifes ass, knocks your great grandmothers tiffiny on the floor, passes out in your bed and farts when you try to wake him up to get him the hell out of your house, screeches out of the driveway and runs your cat over, hits your toyota with his hummer, and keeps going with a wave and a see ya later Stretch. :hi:

The report from the press on the party says George W was the life of the party.

John Kerry is boring and nobody would want him at their party.

The press knows what matters to America
