Bush Pulls Ahead

George W. Bush is not only beating John Kerry in national opinion polls, but he defeats Kerry in the more important state-by-state electoral college polls as well. Bush leads in the battleground states of Florida, Missouri, and Ohio.

This has been a really, really bad few weeks for the Kerry campaign. I haven't seen a beat down this brutal since the Riffs exacted revenge on Luther, the real killer of Cyrus. You remember: Coney Island, '79? The Warriors? The classic '70s multiracial gang flick? ("It wasn't us. It was them--The Warriors. They killed Cyrus."). If you never saw The Warriors, think Sean Penn wielding a pillow case of coke cans in Bad Boys, or Robert DeNiro swinging a baseball bat at the banquet table in The Untouchables. The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth's campaign has been that devastating for Kerry.

George W. Bush is a weak president tethered by the Iraq war, an economy that loitered in the starting gates for too long, and his own general ineptness. That John Kerry trails W just a few short weeks after his Boston convention demonstrates how utterly horrible a candidate Kerry is, and how out to lunch the Democratic Party is for nominating a Massachusetts liberal. They deserve to lose.

DB,

You disagree that the Gramercy Riffs issued gang-style pummelling at the beach scene at the end of The Warriors? Who do you thing handed out that beating? The Baseball Furies? The Turnbull A.C.'s? The Orphans?

After this new Israeli spy thing, all I can say is that Bush deserves to lose. He really does. Time to get the neocons out of power.

Posted by: wicked conservative on August 28, 2004 12:24 PM

yeah the necons and Bush were probably like helping him spy and stuff.

Posted by: even more wicked on August 28, 2004 01:03 PM

The neocons absolutely did. They put the spy in the Office of Special Plans.

Hey Flynny by the way it was not Coke cans that Sean Penn was swinging into Tweetys dome it was RC Cola, come on man know your weapons would ya!!!

Yeah, bad old Bush.

Not like he allowed Chinese spies to walk away with top secret U.S. information that advanced their ballistic missle programs and and nuclear delivery capabilities by ten years.

Yeah, bring back 'the good old days' of Clinton and his sackless wonders.

Viva la Jorge!!!!

That's just great. Let's aspire to be only slighlty worse than the Clinton admin.

Clinton had to go, and now so does Bush.

Posted by: wicked conservative on August 29, 2004 10:23 AM

Stop spreading lies about Clinton.

Posted by: liberalliar on August 29, 2004 05:58 PM

If Bush goes, you've got Kerry. That would be a fate worse than Clinton.

And, no lies about Clinton's Chinese connection. You could look it up.

In fact, it was Clinton's chief thief Sandy Burglar who had the ins with the Reds in the first place and opened the doors to the crimes.

You could look that up too.

hahahah. yeah ok. Look I could "look up" the alien colony that lives inside jefferson's head on Mt. Rushmore. The fact that information exists dosen't make it credible.

Posted by: Db on August 30, 2004 10:59 AM

Actually, I believe that's George Washington's head, and it's not aliens, it's the president's secret bunker in the even of total nuclear war.

At least...it was on Buck Rogers...
