Did ya watch? WEBB VS MACACA debate? WOW!
all i gotta say after watching it earlier today is JIM WEBB is 'da man!

that dude not only knows his stuff, but is bitingly sarcastic and has a quick wit.

after watching that debate, how anyone could vote for allen is beyond me.

webb got so many zingers in i couldn't believe it -- and when he replied to the questioner regarding his comments about women in the military "i guess this is my macaca moment" -- i about fell outta my chair!

this guy's a rarity -- got the smarts and heart of a democrat, but the quick mouth and media savviness of a republican.

hope virginia puts him in office!

i see a big future for him.

1. Did you see the shot of their feet under the table?
Macaca was wearing cowboy boots and Webb was wearing his son's COMBAT boots ... Show the differences between them. (Webb's line is "there are no cowboys in Virginia.") Love it!

5. Macaca doesn't know that a real cowboy's boots have shit on the outside
and not on the inside.

2. Yep...and after watching both Gore and Kerry debate Dimson,
I thought that both elections would be slam dunks. We can never underestimate the ability/desire of the public to choose the candidate that is right there with them intellectually...meaning comfort of having someone as flawed, dumb, or corrupt governing them!

3. Amen. I still have DVDs of the debates.
After watching each one, it was impossible to imagine anyone thinking of Bush as anything other than a babbling idiot. Guess I was wrong.

7. There is a hard core 30 percent that just love Dimson

another 10 percent that, despite their misgivings, think repukes in general are better for the country (they hate
"liberals"... though they don't hate most liberal programs and positions, it's just that liberals has become a
demonized term). so... 40 percent vote for bush... and the rest is stolen election tactics ( not all of it is
electronic fraud, perhaps as little as 4 to 5 percent, the rest is other methods).

12. If I could edit your DVDs like George Lucas does his movies...
...and if the editing job could rewrite history, I would go to the first debate where Bush is practically jumping up and down saying how Kerry didn't mention a member of the coalition:

Bush: You forgot Poland!

Now here is where I would edit Kerry to say something he didn't, but should have:

Kerry: And you forgot Osama!

If Kerry said those four words, he would've won with near 60% of the electorate.

Alas and alack.

6. nah, webb is different
though i absolutely ADORE gore -- he doesn't have that biting sarcasm or quick wit that many republican politicians and tv personalities have -- that make them so effective (like a sean hannity or bill o'reilly)

this guy's different... kinda like a feingold in a way.

4. A stupid mofo who is hypocritical enough to convince the fundies.
who aint real bright themselves, that he's second in command to Jesus the way Allen has will get a large percent of the Va. vote just from the fundies.

Remember, that's Robertson's home turf.

The fundies didn't watch this debate. What they'll get to see is a video with Webb edited out of it.

10. I saw it early yesterday morning.
Damn! Webb literally blew Allen out of the water. They showed the video tape of Allen calling that young man macaca. If Allen didn't look like an idiot in that video, then I don't know what an idiot is. As everyone here knows, if Allen's father wasn't a famous professional football coach, he would have never been elected to any office.
