Pataki - New Level Of Class

[chet]

Using Sept 11th to make jokes and mock Kerry??

Isn't anyone else sickened by this as I am? I can take the alluding to it, I can take the - what a swell job he did, but to use it to mock Kerry? Do the republicans have even a tiny amount of shame??

but the video on c-span helps catch the feel of it.


It is bizarre with the republicans. I am sitting there watching bush getting sinking feeling, I am thinking - "Yeah I would like to see that, good point, maybe that will work, maybe your idea of bringing the fight to them was a good idea"

then he gums it up in the middle with the same tired childish kerry slams and i start thinking - "got to do something to get this guy out of office".

I just don't get their anger and continual attacks on Kerry. They should take a page out of Reagan's book. He once signed a law for the cutting of some benefits to the elderly, during the same week he attended a ribbon cutting for an elderly home. They almost pull that off, but then they just can't resist the lame attacks.

Zarathustra, instead of making a snide comment, or complaining about how many liberals there are here, and how pathetic and predictable they are in the way they stubbornly refuse to be republicans, why don't you contribute? If you have something to say about Pataki's speech, or have an opinion about the reaction to it, share it. You liked Zell's speech, for that matter, didn't you? How do you feel watching the Republican party back away from him, bending like reeds in the wind to public opinion?

It is called a campaign. What are they supposed to do? Play badminton together?

This fall we're going to win one for the Gipper.

But our opponents, they're going lose one with the Flipper.

Maybe this is what Zarathustra is laughing at.

Tom Tomorrow explained it succinctly on his site today:
After critizing the Democrats for holding a hatefest convention which only looked backward (i.e., to Vietnam), failed to provide a clear vision for the future, and primarily pushed their candidate as Not the Other Guy...

...the Republicans give us a hatefest convention which only looked backward (i.e., to 9/11/01), failed to provide a clear vision for the future, and primarily pushed their candidate as Not the Other Guy.

Kerry would win that game. :twisted:

I think we should just air drop them both into the jungle with assault rifles, pistols and combat knives - winner takes all.

[XtienMurawski]

I think we should chain them in a room with a tape recorder and a dead body.

The worst part of Pataki's speech, for me, was the false hush of gravity he put over just about every thing he said. Like he'd been listening to too many Lexus commercials or something and thought if he phonied up his voice people would buy the depth of his sincerity.

Really, these guys should get some performance direction before they go on.
