***BAD NEWS FOR NALDS!***

[mburbank]

1.3 million more in poverty this year. Third year in a row the ranks of the impoverished have swelled.

[Zhukov]

This is not just bad news in general, because conservatives always base their opinions on poverty statistics, so it is only bad news to them.

[mburbank]

It's really bad news for 1.3 million people who slipped into poverty this year.

Only an idiot would see a statistic like that as being bad news in a purely politcial my team vs. your team , this will make it harder for your team's captain to be elected class president type way.

Get it, Naldo? Or do you just come by when you have something noxious to post?

[KevinTheOmnivore]

HEY, ARE THERE ANY POLLS THAT MIGHT SUBSTANTIATE YOUR ARGUMENT?? THANKS.

[Anonymous]

Kerry is toast! :lol

[punkgrrrlie10]

Eh, they are only newly impoverished...no biggie.

[mburbank]

They're just poor sports because they aren't part of the 'ownership economy.'

[Ronnie Raygun]

Max, the most obnoxious post of all will be posted in Nov.

Until then, don't take Kerry's slip too badly....

I may come back to make note of the Kerry's slip to make sure that all the fine people here at I-Mockery are aware of what's happening....

It would be shameful to allow you to keep a lid on it...

[Jeanette X]

Triple posts are quite obnoxious as well. :/

[mburbank]

So suppose, just suppose Kerry wins decisively enough that the Republicans can't even fight it in court.

Do you think Nalds will graciously admit he read the electorate wrong all along, or do you think he'll just vanish like old socks or Vinth?

[FS]

Actually, I think he might flourish if that happens. Think of all the chances to crack down on Kerry when he's actually in office and has to clean up the mess.

[davinxtk]

I honestly don't know what I'll do if we end up with another four years of this complete douchebag. I think it might incite some sort of rebellion.
Nobody in my area expects him to win, but I'm talking Massachusetts here. It's true that you can't get an accurate cross-section of the country by living in any one area, but people in the Northeast are at the specific disadvantage of living around mostly loud-mouthed liberals to begin with.

And it's not like I'll even be thrilled if Kerry wins. At least Bush has some die-hard supporters in this country, everyone I've met who wants Kerry to win is half-assing it in the first place. It's going to be like Monty Python...

"And John Kerry took the election with 271 electoral votes. And there was much rejoicing."
*completely un-enthusiastic cheer*

[Zhukov]

That's bad news.

You conservatives sure love your polls. Don't you lnow that polls mean nothing?

[Ronnie Raygun]

Yes I do....that why I said this....

"Since you guys like polls so much.....check this out...."

[AChimp]

... Except we also say that polls don't mean much. Again, without a point, Ronnie.

[Ronnie Raygun]

No you don't......when the polls are in your favor you are all about them....

Example: Look at how often polls were cited during the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal....

All Clinton's policies were determined by polls...

[AChimp]

Oh, I get it. You mean "you dirty Liberals" and are lumping everyone together. :lol

You are a twat, and by "you" I mean "you."

[Ronnie Raygun]

I'm a lone "twat" amongst a bunch of "boobs".

Clever....

[mburbank]

Thank God Bush doesn't use polls or focus groups.

That's why when he said he was against a 9/11 panel, he didn't change his mind.

And when he said he didn't want a department of Homeland Security, he didn't create one.

And when he said one hour was all the time he could spare the 9/11 comission, that's all he gave them.

And when he said Condi couldn't testify, she didn't.

And why after he said a war on terrorism couldn't be won, he said it sure could and we sure would.

It's why after he announced his Mars initiative he never mentioned it again.

It's why after he said he didn't want or need Tennet's resignation, Tennet decided he needed to spend more time with his family.

It's why after the phrase compassionate conservatism went away for four years it came back again and why the bulk of people who spoke at the convention are way, way way further center left than Bush.

It's why the degree of his Texas accent changes depending on how close an election is.

Because this is one guy who doesn'r care which way the wind is blowing or what public opinion is. He just a guy doing a thing that needs to be done, like in a western or a picture of a western on when of them old fashioned type lunch boxes.

Nalds. Suppose you're wrong. Suppose this time it's not just the majority of the vote, but the electoral college as well. Suppose it turns out you were the unthinkable, wrong.

I'm willing to admit right here and now, it may be the will of the American people that Bush get four more years. I'll hate it, but I'll be more than willing to admit that's what the people want if that's the way it goes down. What will you have to say If Kerry wins a clear and positive victory?

Will we hear about how people have been brainwashed? Or how America isn't america anymore, how Kerry isn't YOUR president or commander in chief? Or would you say that in a democratic country the guy who wins si the leader of America fair and square?

My guess? You've ben a sore winner for four years. I can't imagine being a looser would improve your disposition. I expect calls for impeachment to begin prior to the inauguration.

[Ronnie Raygun]

It also explains why Bush is continuing this seemingly unpopular war...!!!!

WoW! mAx! u R sO sMaRt!!

[ziggytrix]

1 example as a counterpoint to 9 examples, as though it completely blows Max's point out of the water, that reasoning (doublethink) shows what a fanatical tool you are, Ronnie.

Never mind that no poll shows a majority of Americans think we need to completely withdraw from Iraq.

[mburbank]

And Nalds... You did notice that 1.3 million more people in poverty isn't polling data, right?
