I knew it wouldn't take long.

there's a damn good reason why Fred waited so long, and it'll show in no time

damn the GOP is in trouble this year
can't say I'm upset about that either

Good, people will see he's Dubya the Deuce. Same support for the same big government laws and endless wars. Same out of touch rich guy marketed as a down home country boy. I can't wait to see the footage of Fred cutting brush at his 'ranch.'

[Brasil Branco]

People voting for Fred at this point might as well be grouped in the Undecided category.

Let's hope so. I mean, he's a lot uglier than Bush, too. Surely that'll turn a lot of people off. I know that a lot of people liked Bush because he seemed like a good guy and he was kinda "cute" (in a retarded elf sorta way). People can't say the same for Freddy, though. He's scary.

Oh yeah...and how's his cancer?

[Mr. White]

Drop the cancer bit, inappropriate even for us. Some things are sacred ground, and a man's bout with terminal illness is one of them. Yes it should be taken into consideration, but mocking it is just plain contemptable.

I wasn't mocking. I was asking.

I do think that it's pretty damn important that our next president not have a terminal illness. Surely you agree. I am not attacking him. It's a legitimate concern, and I was wondering if anyone had an update.

:rolleyes:

If his prognosis is as good as doctors seem to think it is, then nothing's changed since April. "Terminal" doesn't mean much nowdays, really.

Paul Tsongas said he'd beaten cancer, and it got him a few years later. I have to wonder if the stress and pace of campaigning can bring it back.
