If Kerry says "Bring it on" one more time...

[Egnever]

I am going to slap someone I swear it.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

1. Slap Bush

he's the idiot who started it. And kudos to a good line.

[Egnever]

7. If only I could get within arms reach of bush I would just love to !

I thought it was a disgusting thing to say when he said it originaly and Kerry's repeating it only grates on my nerves all the more.

Lets try and make fun of bush for being an arrogant asshole by being an arrogant asshole. I would like to slap em both.

[redqueen]

2. Tell everyone around you go get away now!

Because you'll be hearing it again, I'm sure.

(What I love is how the crowd starts in before he does. :))

[JohnKleeb]

3. Its a motto heh

Do you slap chimps eg? because theres one who lives on 1600 PA Avenue who needs it.

[Egnever]

8. Agreed and aparently another one trying to get in

[JohnKleeb]

17. Kerry is a chimp?

I thought he was a horse ;).

[sandnsea]

4. bring it on

Get in the fighting spirit. It's a hell of alot better than unbridled rage.

[cthrumatrix]

5. I like the rage better...it's original

[Poseidon]

6. I like it.

YEEEEEEEAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

So there.

[Egnever]

10. Aparently theres a portion of america that goes for that crap.

Just look at how well it worked for bush when he said it at first.

Course i like the YEAAAAGH so who am I to talk ehh?

[Ficus]

9. it works for him

and nobody claimed it first. And I share his view. If Bush wants a fight, then bring it on.

[Egnever]

11. may work for him but doesnt work for me

Makes me want to slap him or anyone nearby every time I hear it. Reminds me of bush and makes me think hes exactly the same type of arrogant prick as bush is.

But hey different strokes I guess.

[ramapo]

13. I don't like it either

Has a bad sound to it

[Native]

21. It doesn't sound arrogant to me.

It was arrogant and reckless of Bush, but I have to say I like hearing someone throw those words back in Bush's face. Anyway, campaigns have always been corny to some degree....I particularly disliked "the doctor is in," and it drives me nuts that they all have to name their campaign busses, trucks, etc.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

12. He's just eager to take on Bush.

Just like I am.

[mlawson]

14. Upside: Maybe it will confuse the apolitical voters into

voting en masse for Kerry, should he be the nominee. Many will like the sound of the phrase, and will say, "Duh, which one said it first? I'll vote for him!" I suspect that is the reason behind it, anyway.

[rpf113]

15. Actually,

in February of 2003, John Edwards used the phrase as his catchphrase in several speeches that were broadcast on C-Span. That's why I was so surprised to see John Edwards not ridicule Kerry for lifting it from him. My guess is he's hoping to by Kerry's VP.

[flaminbats]

16. but he "knows something about aircraft carriers!"

The worse thing he said that I hate, was that it's alright if schools impose manditory drug testing on our kids. Shouldn't they be required to get the permission of the legal guardian first?

And regarding drug testing in the workplace, this is nothing more than an excepted means for corporations to not hire those with medical problems. "List your fucking medications and go pee in that jar Joe!"

If they think someone has a drug problem then they should either not hire that person, or just report what they saw to the police. It is wrong to allow corporations to police our lives, and we need a candidate who has the courage to speak out on this!

[Feanorcurufinwe]

19. Actually what he said

is that it is up to local school boards to set school policies.

[flaminbats]

27. And it shouldn't be...civil rights are more important than states' rights!

In case you don't know, school attendance is mandatory in this country.

No school board should ever have the right to make a school child take a drug test, without first obtaining the permission of the child's legal guardians. Only the police should have such authority in certain cases.

[Melodybe]

18. If Kerry plagiarizes Dean one more time...

:mad:

Didn't know about Kerry swiping Edwards material, again

:mad:

[progressivebydesign]

20. I'm not anti-Kerry, but I was unhappy that he used that term.

It gives me too negative of a vibe.. makes me think of all that have died in Iraq since Bush uttered that inane comment. I understand why Kerry is using it.. it just makes me uncomfortable. Just as Clark supporters chanting USA, USA, USA.. all that makes me think of is Bush's horrific photo op at Ground Zero with the bullhorn.

[Monte Carlo]

23. Patriotism and nationalism are double-edged swords.

They can unite people, and they can unite against people. I think it's all dependent upon the leader of the movements. Clark's USA chant gives me many less willies than those heard at a Bush rally.

I think Kerry wants to keep the line fresh in the public's memory, for his purposes as well as mocking the Shrub. I really wouldn't be worried about it.

[TexasSissy]

22. I feel your pain. Glad I have a "mute" button.

[bigtree]

24. BIO

[eissa]

25. I kinda like it

Slap me if you want to, but I could just see all of us screaming (I am a Dean supporter afterall!) that slogan as we walk into the voting booths to send * back to Crawford!

[kstewart33]

26. Well....

It beats EEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

[maryallen]

30. I don't know about that ...

"Bring ... (pause, pause, pause) ... it ... (pause, pause, pause) ... on."

If Kerry insists on using this cliche, someone needs to tell him to liven it up.

Get a little rhythm going.

Put some pep in his voice.

[tryanhas]

28. Besides, he took it from Edwards anyway

At the DNC Winter meeting in 2003, Edwards said, "BRING IT ON!!!"

He was the first one to say it, and Kerry has now co-opted it.

You can see it during his speech at C-Span from last year.

It's not so much the "BRING IT ON" that gets on my nerves, what gets on my nerves the most from Kerry other than the Skull and Bones membership, is that STUPID, IGNORANT, AND DUMB "THE REAL DEAL" sign.

That's the stupidest campaign slogan that I have ever seen.

"THE REAL DEAL"?

Whatever!

If you are so real, then why won't you answer questions about Skull and Bones??? Everytime that someone brings it up, you, KERRY, say "I can't say anything about it, it's a secret."

Well then go back home, you don't deserve my vote PERIOD!

[John_H]

29. It's a running joke between my 9 and 11 year olds

Every time they see Kerry on TV they say in John Kerry basso profundo, "I've got three words George Bush can understand--Bring. It. On." and then crack up. No more C-Span radio in the car while carting them around.

That's the dark side of growing up with political junkies for parents, I guess.

[cindyw]

32. My 4 year old yells, John Kerry, John Kerry!

Every time he is mentioned on TV. She says he is the good guy. Then one time she said That's who we are voting for. Who says 4 year olds can't understand democracy (or be brainwashed, but that's besides the point).

[molly]

31. What would you like him to say to Bush?
