Dean has trouble spelling
Dean was assigned No. 143 for 1970 - a number that was called up - but he was rejected after a physical in February of that year. In an interview with the AP, Dean said he had known since he was in high school that he had an unfused vertebra, a condition called spondylolysis.

Dean tried to spell the condition during the interview, but got it wrong after three tries, even though he is a medical doctor and worked as an internist before entering politics. He laughed over his difficulty and defended himself by saying he is not a bone specialist.

5. i'm sick of lowered expectations
were you a physician running for prez, wouldn't you be prepared to answer personal med questions with as much accuracy and detail as possible?

and i don't want to hear that this is the campaign's fault, either.

were this *, dean supporters would be screaming bloody murder.

6. WTF does spelling have to do with running a nation?
Edited on Sat Oct-25-03 03:42 PM by Sean Reynolds
You're telling me you can spell EVERY word in the English dictionary?

Fuck that.

If you base your opinion on whether or not a candidate can spell you've got REAL issues. This Dean bashing is getting sick. What next, are we going to see a damn thread about how Dean pissed himself when he was 2? :eyes:

7. You know the guy's good
when you have folks pointing out shit like this.

It's called grasping for straws. Keep at it. You humor us Dean folks.

8. DJcairo strikes again
I was worried about you. It's been 2 hours and 48 minutes since your last Dean bashing.

This is something I don't understand - most of the folks here have already made up their mind who they'll support in the primaries. Why all the candidate bashing? Do you think because of what you posted people will vote Kerry and not Dean? All you can achieve is getting your name blacklisted by some of the DUers. Will you be happy then?

17. yeah, but the sex and the perversion is in the Lounge
Edited on Sat Oct-25-03 03:52 PM by E_Zapata
where one can at least get a cocktail to lower inhibitions!

True, this cairo dude is getting stale. (and I am staunchly anti-Dean). But not because he's short or spelled a word wrong (on the contrary, he's the most perceptive, intelligent candidate around).

21. It isn't.
I wish this kind of thing would stop. It isn't hurting Dean, it isn't helping Kerry. If anything, it's hurting Kerry and helping Dean. There's no point in it, I think nothing less of Dean for it, but I do think less of him for posting it.

16. Well that's it.
Dean can't spell "spondylolysis". Western civilization surely will not survive this development.

22. I heard that when Dean was growing up...
He wore a diaper and soiled himself on a regular basis. Do we really want a former pants-pooper in the white house?

23. DJ, you crack me up.
As a Dean supporter I am getting a kick out of how pathetic these attacks are getting.

Hilarious!

Hey, you made me laugh so loud I scared my cat.

27. DJcairo are you on Kerry campaign staff? Very disruptive
The amount of inconsequential anti-Dean posting is starting to get really fucking annoying.

28. Can I beg of you
to dissociate this kind of post from Kerry himself and the majority of his supporters? Personally, it makes ME mad when people make baseless, stupid attacks against others that not only fail to point out any kind of shortcoming on the attackees part, but also that they paint not only the attacker but whoever that attacker is associated with in a negative light. I wish it didn't happen, but it does, on both sides mind you, but please don't hold this one against Kerry or his supporters, just DJcario.

DJ just seems to have a little too much time on his/her hands.

31. No problem, MrPeepers
I don't hold the actions of any supporter against a candidate. I've also thought that was weird how people here say that the supporters are annoying so therefore the candidate is bad. Doesn't make sense.

DJ doesn't make me think any less of John Kerry, just of DJ, who is a disruptor with seemingly nothing better to do; also the attacks are getting lamer as Dean gathers steam.

Kerry's cool with me, always has been. He would make an excellent president, I just prefer Dean.
