So what can we all do to really help George W Bush be reelected
Edited on Thu Apr-01-04 12:46 PM by nothingshocksmeanymo
Since 2000, we live in a much safer world. We now know that preemptive wars make our enemies deader. Boosting the economies of China and India is the best way to get our economy back on track and put Americans back to work.

Tax cuts for the wealthiest one percent are just...after all, it's their money.


So who is with me? Bush in 04.....

come on..give us your best ideas.

17. Unknown sources
in the hotel bar after the unity dinner said that Gephardt might well be chosen. I wasn't there myself, but I was at an unrelated conference in the hotel (I had no idea the dinner was going on) and later some of my friends were at the bar. They ended up talking to some of the DNC people and it was said that it wouldn't be Edwards, but might be Gep (bleh).

18. the dean folks have been saying that for months
my friends who were staff have been saying for months that it was part of gephardts deal with kerry to torpedo dean taking himself out in the process in iowa with all the attack ads (which cost dean most of his money to fight). in return gephardt gets the VP nod.

I really hope my deaniac friends were speaking through their tinfoil hats on this one.

5. We could nominate the weakest candidate since Dukakis
Oh wait.... already did that...

How about we pick an equally crappy running mate like Gephardt or Evan Bayh?

20. LMAO
So lame.

The first one is me NOT being excited over kerry's taxpayer-funded tax scheme.

The second one is me POSTING A KUCINICH PRESS RELEASE.

Thanks for showing us you have no point to make!

:hi:

22. Try again
The first has you criticizing Kerry, and the 2nd has you accusing Kerry of NOT supporting workers.

But it's wrong to criticize Nader. He's a God

23. You seem to have a lot of trouble differentiating between
criticism and attacks.

Good luck with that!

33. I have no such problem
Saying that Kerry is "against workers" because he doesn't want to appeal NAFTA is an attack. Criticism would be "Kerry should support the repal of NAFTA because".

He might be running out of money soon.

10. We could see that felons
and people with names similar to felons (that happen to be minorities) are purged from the voting roles all over the country. Maybe we could get a mandate. :eyes:

13. The way I see it is this . . .
If we can get big name liberals to campaign for Bush, the Freepers will short circuit and be forced to vote for Kerry because they can under no circumstances agree with liberals :).

I mean think about it . . . if we could get Moore to say he supports Bush, the Freepers would implode because there's no way they could vote for the same person as Moore.

27. Support further bankruptcy of the Treasury...
by making those tax cuts permanent.

Invest a sure thing, like SS in the Stock Market, then all of the Boomers who did so will die of staration right after they lose all their momey. That will take the burden off SS and Medicare.

Support Capital Punishment for all that commit any crime above petty theft, that will decrease those 'depdenent on the system'.

The best way to get bush re-appointed, is to remain divided over what come down to ideologies that are not conducive to solidarity. Nothing makes the bush camp happier than to see Dem's splattered all over the political map. Small differences destroy the overall good the party can do for the betterment of the nation. Some would rather see the whole thing fall apart, than give an inch; they are more GOP than they realize. Compromize is the key to victory.

31. Actively promote Bush as an honest man trying to help the
common American.

Convince people that Iraq was really behind 911 after all and this wasn't an illegal war. Killing innocent civilians is good. Especially to steal their OIL and make Haliburton richer.

Convince people that it is a GOOD idea to soak the old, the poor, and the disabled out of Social Security, Medicare, and other Social Services that he seeks to terminate because we can no longer afford it due to his bankrupting our Treasury.

Convince people it's GOOD to outsource so many jobs to other countries in order to make his rich cronies richer and take away more jobs from unemployed Americans.

Convince people we need to give a rich frat boy who has never worked hard a day in his life or taken responsibility for his coke snorting, boozing, hell raising destruction but been bailed out by his rich daddy that he deserves another 4 years to reap more of the same destruction on this country.

For good measure, convince people we need that God-forsaken moon program he suggested to further bankrupt our Treasury. Won't that create jobs?

32. It would guarantee Bush's reelection...
if we bash Kerry at every opportunity; encourage Democrats to vote for Nader (Mzmolly said this first but it was so good I had to steal it.)

Fix all the voting machines so they only register votes for Bush and have no paper trail and then call all Democrats traitors when they protest another stolen election.
