No guns allowed. It would be against our principles. Let's just sink to the savagery of our words. The last one standing gets to pick who the candidates will be. Let the blood flow. We'll have the feud close to a hospital so we won't have far to drag the critically wounded.

Of course, I'm talking about fighting the Repubs. I hope no one thought I was talking about fighting amongst ourselves. That wouldn't be prudent. :)

2. No, but if you were...
you'd want to make sure it was close to a police station too. Since we're like family, it would be domestic violence.

4. Damn
I was ready for the rumble and everything! Guess I have to put the old aluminum bat (you should see what that thing can do knees!) and my brass knucks away.

5. I'm ready. Let's go! I don't think I'll make it to the election.
Everywhere I turn it's just lies, scandels, spin, re-writing history, distorting things that were said, changing economic numbers, it's NEVER bush's fault, NEVER!!! Every time we open our mouths to debate anything it's an attack. Every time I turn the tv on for 2mins, more lies & spin. Print media, same thing! I've thought about it and I REALLY do not want to live here anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to China on Jan 7 for a 10 tour and I may just defect there. A communist govt sounds much better than this place right now.

6. kremer, it's the media that's got my dander up also....
Everytime I turn it on, they are making some snide remark about Dean can't win, or Kerry is a Massachusetts liberal, or Clark is a little off in the head, or they are making their ridiculous little laughs or smiles, as if they are now fully programmed to do what their masters want, they don't even have to think about it anymore, it simply comes natural to them. I have given up on getting a fair shake from any of them. It's depressing but we have to fight it. It's become a habit with them, kowtowing to the right-wing for so long, they don't even realize they are doing it. As if the Repubs need the media to defend them. I have given up hope on those assholes.

7. Even DAILY SHOW is doing it
Edited on Fri Dec-12-03 07:24 PM by ewagner
I cringe everytime they show the democratic candidates under the banner Race From the White House

It's not funny. It demeans all of the candidates and the whole party in general.

on edit: Brass knuckles and baseball bats are EXACTLY what the 2004 election will come down to.

8. I agree...
I noticed they did it last night. By giving the bird to the world, pretending to be Bush, they are building up a macho image that plays well with much of the population, even though it is stupid.
