Tim Blair

You know Tim, what becomes obvious after reading your stuff, is that you are a dirty little man-child.
That's all. You have the mentality of an eight year old boy who likes explosions and stuff.
Boom boom, tanks and guns! We at war, and nobody want to play! Oh no! It's just me and Mark Steyn and half the American population!
What can we do to wake people up! Wait for another terrorist attack and then say
'Seeeeee!!! SEEEE!! We told you didn't we! Didn't we tell you! Now will you follow Bush unquestioningly?'
'WHY NOT???!!! Why won't you follow Bushy? Don't you know we are 'under attack' ?'
'Sigh. When will people realise that the bigoted small minded people are the ones who are RIGHT?'

TONY JONES (to Hitchens): With great foresight you've already predicted the path down which I was going.

ABC interviewees are superfluous these days. Tony Jones may as well just read his own views off the autocue and cut out the middleman.

Are you sure about this Jack? I thought Blair was saying that the ABC were being a little eager to put a negative gloss on George Bush's re-election chances in presenting an interviewee who was in fact arguing the complete opposite. I also thought the "Bush to face father's fate" headline nicely underlined his point. In response to this you have thrown an inarticulate temper tantrum of a type more normally associated with little girls who have lost their dollies. In this light the message behind the outburst - that Tim Blair behaves like a child - seems just a tiny bit ironic.

Jack screamed, little girls laughed!!

Then the little girls taunted Jack for being a sissy. Mean little girls.

Off your medication today are we, Jack?

Oh, and what would your response have been following September 11 if you were the President of the US of A? Apologise for upsetting Al Queda?

stunning military victory

What? It isn't a quagmire?

'Sigh. When will people realise that the bigoted small minded people are the ones who are RIGHT?'

Which bigoted small minded people? The KKK and neo-nazis were firmly against war with Iraq.

Counting down the seconds till ol' Miranda pops in and says some rubbish like

"Your boy Bush is on the nose, blah blah blah John Kerry woohoo blah blah the sight of dead Americans makes me wet"

Hey Jack, Dick Cheney just called me to say your expose of us has put "Operation -Get Jack" into effect immediately.
The black helicopters are on the way!

What will everyone say when it becomes obvious that Kerry is toast?

BTT: I have to say that "electoral defeat" is in fact increasingly possible for Bush. He has done his best to toss away all of the confidence and loyalty of his party base in an absurd quest for "swing votes". Examples: signing the McCain/Feingold First Amendment Repeal, enacting the 'Lets Bribe the Seniors with a New Entitlement' act, vocally supporting an extension of the Assault Weapons Ban and increased firearms regulation (after the NRA vote was the margin of his victory in THREE states, and after even Democrats have learned that gun control is a losing issue), and putting his name on every pork-laden domestic spending act that crosses his line-of-sight...in a war year. In other words, he's blowing off his next term exactly the same way his father blew off his. I still might close my eyes and vote for him based on the terrorism issue (American lives are and should be the trump issue here)... but as a radical Republican, even MY patience is growing perilously thin.

I hope it happens after the Dem primary. I want to see him go up against Bush. I think it could be funny and it'd make for good TV, since Kerry can spin and double talk so well it'd make Clinton roll over in his grave. He's that much of a bullshitter.

Yeah, basically only Bush can defeat himself.

sorry, I wrote "double talk so well," I should have said "so much".

you know, I'm really sick of all these other 'jacks' mucking up cyberspace.

Bush in trouble? Sure.

IT's that time tested 'say it often enough and it'll be true' tactic.

They've gotta do something, 'cos Kerry's really nothing more than an 'anything-but-Bush' candidate

The only thing Bush has going for him is the War on Terror.

Everything else he does I disagree with: Gay Marriage Comments, Guest Worker Program, Faith-based this or that, Medicare spending, The Deficit... the list goes on.

He's already done himself in for this voter. Hopefully we'll catch Osama before the election so I can call it quits with him.

-California Republican

its funny how republicans will complain over Bush and say they won't vote for him.. and then fail to realize that not voting for Bush is in effect voting for Kerry. And Kerry will raise their taxes, will gut the military, will eviscerate the CIA. Will create a trial lawyer based health care system and further damage the country, but ah, since Bush doesn't toe their exact line, they're mad as hell and aren't gonna take it anymore. Grow up, this is important. Kerry will be worse than Bush could ever be. Open your eyes republicans and grow up a bit. You don't always get what you want, so you get the best you can.

You want kerry? you want him appointing federal and supreme court judges? more judges similar to the massachussetts judges? Get real.

you have 2 clear choices. Bush. or Kerry. I don't agree with Bush on everything, but you know what? I know having Bush is better than having Kerry. Not even a question of how close.

Kerry is on the wrong side of every issue.

Well, you know what they say about Kerry and the issues... wait five minutes and things will be different.
