Even Kerry admits he's gonna loseFollow

No, he wasn't, but refresh my memory... was he the first candidate to lose due to a court-ordered recount in the state of which his opponent's brother was governor?

Even though our literacy rate is nothing to write home about, we can still all see the presidential debates on the tube and know the names and a few facts about the candidates we're voting for. Nothing like when this country was first founded and only a small percentage of people even knew what the president looked like. I think it's time to let the people actually start voting for president rather than having our legislators do it for us.

Yes, he was, although it actually wasn't that unprecedented. In '76 (No, 1876, not 1976) there was a huge dispute over the veracity of the elections between Tilden and Hayes. The Congress created a committee made up of Senators, Representative and Supreme Court Justices (Suprise!) to decide who won. The partisan breakdown was 8 Republicans to 7 Democrats, in a 15-member committee.

Guess who ended up winning?

Krylanna, you obviously come from a large state.

I work as a volunteer at Kerry's southwest financial office, and I can say that, in fact, the mood is that Kerry's going to win. Polls are misleading, especially since, as a rule, they do NOT poll minorities and also only poll voters registered in the LAST election. That means that an incumbent should at all times have a 5% lead amongst those who voted for him last time to be considered "dead-even"; take that and subtract 5% from Bush's numbers and add it to Kerry's. In any event, he's winning. It just depends by how much. Further, I think we all know that minorities are considered by political scientists to vote universally democrat. Totem, your election is NOT in the bag, and in fact I expect you to lose. And nothing will make me happier.

This election is a joke.

You have a guy with no track record owning Bush in debates vs. a former crackhead and idiot.

wtf

Well Eleas, I would be very surprised if a Kerry campaign worker such as yourself would actually think his candidate was going to lose. Such is the nature of the beast, right?

However, speaking as this forum's darkest member of the varied minorities we have here at Alla's, I am telling you you do not have a lock on the black vote. Me and my lighter pigmented family members will all be voting Bush. And that makes up about 100% of the minority vote in my town.

Here is something for you to chew on, Eleas, just to keep you up at night worrying about your candidate's performance.

Kerry, no track record? He's been in government probably longer than you've been alive. Just sayin'.

"He's been in government probably longer than you've been alive"

- And what to show for lol? Just sayin.

"Bwa-ha-ha!

Totem failed Civics AND debate in one post."

- You lost just for saying that.

"I work as a volunteer at Kerry's southwest financial office, and I can say that, in fact, the mood is that Kerry's going to win."

- Does anyone else see the bias in this sentence? lol. What an idiot. And I'm rather sure come Nov. 3rd they are all going to be saying "Its ok Johnny Boy you shoulda won". Dumbass.


"You have a guy with no track record owning Bush in debates"

- Ummmm..... I dunno if we watched the same debates here. Bush got slammed in the first debate. On the second and third one it was a tie to me. Just FYI. I am voting for Bush, but he still looked dumb in the first debate.

Just sayin.

I dunno. He basicially did... although that link is now broken, so I can't reference the article to figure out the exact quotes ( I skimmed it earlier) and see if it was talking about a second term or simply in the early parts of January (y'know... January 10).

Totem was talking about how Kerry seems to have given up, apparently misapplying a quote, or at least seeming to. Eleas was pointing out that the people who actually work for Kerry don't think it's a lost cause.

Meh.

"Totem was talking about how Kerry seems to have given up"

- Do you enjoy stating the obvious. I know what he was saying.

"Eleas was pointing out that the people who actually work for Kerry don't think it's a lost cause."

- No ****. Who the hell would honestly open up and say well good luck Mr. Kerry, I don't think you have a chance in hell of winning, but do your best sir.

I read what was posted... obviously you did not. I was simply stating(for slow people such as yourself i will repeat myself) that of course people within the offices of the Kerry campaign believe Kerry will win. Pretty much saying that a priest in a church is gonna read from the Bible. It's obvious. It's quite scary though that you cant seem to figure that out.

Meh. (******)

I guess even John Flip-flopppin' Kerry doesn't plan to be in office come next year. How demoralizing for the Democratic party faithful!

...

I guess all you college students can rest easy now, since the threat of Kerry reinstituting the draft is over since Kerry just gave his concession speech three weeks early.


Sorry, I was being far too civil for the Asylum.

GFY.

EDIT: What the fu[b][/b]ck is with the sig appearing next to the last line? It looks more retarded than varus and katie's lovechild.

Hey guys even if it's the Asylum, keep off of the *** words. That's like as bad as n*$%!r for actual gay people.

By the way, I'd trust a campaign worker to know better than ... ahem ... Totem about how the election's going.

That said, hey Totem, let's have an issue debate, without broken links. I say your candidate wouldn't know proper economics if he was smoking them instead of fighting in Vietnam. What do YOU say?

Thats like saying I trust Dan Rather and CBS for non bias stories and true documents. Its just dumb. Go try to trick people in the FFXI forums with your n00b like ways.

Damn Elsahn, we're getting bogged down in details here. Would you disagree that I might have a little more insider information than you do, regardless of how biased it may be? You're going to have to concede that, and also that this election is going to be ridiculously tight. Now let's get to issues. Totem, here's a quote from your candidate to the president of Brazil:

"Oh, you have black people here, too?"

That says it all. Defend yourself on the issues, guys, not on trivial points.

not trying to come off like an **** or anything, but it DOES say "No holds barred forum for deep OOT discourse. Not for the faint of heart." gays didn't get the marriage thing, so they prolly wont keep the slang from showing here.

do a search for the word "******" in this forum. are you saying its ok to say "******" but not "***"? how one-way is that?

Hey Totem, so what happens if Boston wins 2 more games AND Kerry takes the election? Will you survive?

In the article it quoted Kerry as saying that "in the Bush second term" blah blah blah. I purposefully took it out of context to have Kerry admitting he knew he wouldn't be in office come January, hence the "January surprise."

You guys should know better than to think I'd fail a civics class and in pickle's case lose a debate.

And proofkuvina? $10 it is. Don't weasel out of it come Nov. 3, 2004.

Hey Empyre, "No holds barred" doesn't mean it's okay to disrespect people. It just means it's allowed. Back off of it.

Totem, debate economic policy with me.
