Kerry-Edwards is still accepting donations to its GELAC fund...

Interesting.

Why would they leave this donation link "live" when they have been scrupulous about financial propriety in the past, unless this fund and activity is still in play?

I think this lends support to the assertion that others have made that Kerry is playing "Rope a Dope" with Bush.

Comments?

Lets not jump to conclusions.

And I cannot send more just to find out if the credit card still gets charged!

...and my donation was accepted.

laying around.....I'm going to wait and see if they are going to need it first.

I prefer to support Bev Harris......they are on the ground now.

I was merely pointing out that they are still soliciting funds.

Why would they do this if they were not spending them?

Just another piece of the puzzle.

They can easily float a big loan if needed in the interm.

And I'm hoping you are correct, sir.

I donated a few days ago also, and it was accepted.

Are newbie observations less credible here?

:hi:

But I didn't see it when you posted it.

Welcome to DU! :)

I always hear about the game, but I don't know how it works!

"ALI VS. FOREMAN

OCTOBER 30, 1974

MUHAMMED ALI USES THE "ROPE-A-DOPE" TO KO HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION GEORGE

FOREMAN IN THE "RUMBLE IN THE JUNGLE"

It was highly unusual for the great, already legendary Muhammed Ali, to walk into the ring as an underdog. But in 1974, he was a 32-year old former world champion. He had lost to Joe Frazier in 1971, and had his jaw broken by Ken Norton in ’73. Ali’s opponent was undefeated Heavyweight Champion, George Foreman. He took out Joe Frazier and Ken Norton—each in only two rounds. This was not the smiling, teddy bear we know today. Many were concerned for Ali’s safety, feeling he could get seriously hurt.

Ali fell back against the ropes, and waved Foreman to come get him. He protected his head, but Foreman pounded away at his ribs and his gut. Round after round, quite possibly the hardest hitting heavyweight in boxing history unleashed his fury. Only the ropes kept Ali from being launched into the ringside seats. Under the thudding attack of Foreman’s sledgehammer fists, to Ali, every three-minute round must have seemed an hour long.

But there was a nefarious method to Ali’s madness. After several rounds of relentlessly throwing leather, Foreman began to tire, his arms began to drop. In the seventh round, Ali let Foreman in on his secret. "I beat him for one, two, three, four rounds—beat him good", Foreman said. "At about the seventh round, I had him beaten, I knew I had him, he fell on my side and whispered, ‘Is that all you got George?’ I knew something strange was happening in my life especially because that was all I had."

In other words, pretend to be down and out and then come back and do in your opponent.

Rope-a-Dope is a strategy that Muhammed Ali devised as a way to sucker George Foreman into tiring himself out. Ali's plan was to wait until Foreman was sufficiently tired, then beat the crap out of him.

I'm a boxing fan (but not a fanatic). I saw this fight on TV when I was in my early teens. Ali has always been a beautifully graceful man, but in this fight he curled up and literally parked himself on the ropes, covering his head and upper chest, while Foreman beat the hell out of him.

After a few rounds of continuous beating, Foreman slowed down and dropped his already slow defenses. BAM! Ali sprang back and dropped him in the 7th or 8th round.

Anyway....what we are hoping is that the BushCo. is flush in it's sure victory, tired and dropping it's defenses, so the Dem-olition can commence.

And that's our history lesson for today.

The geezer...signing off.
