Kerry Blows Red Sox Stats, Again, and Again

Posted by pudge on from the sox>president dept.

This week John Kerry twice messed up the Red Sox playoff scores, in one game proclaiming them to be ahead 10-9, in another 7-1. The Sox never had 10 runs in the first game (they went from 9 to 11 on Mark Bellhorn's two-run homer off the right field foul pole), and scored six in the second (see footballfansfortruth.us for more info). For those of you who are not Boston-area natives, you might not understand that Red Sox loyalty is far greater than political loyalty, and while this might not cause anyone to vote for Bush, it might make Kerry voters stay home. Worse, many Red Sox fans have vowed to see the Sox win a World Series before they die, so tens of thousands of Kerry voters could die before November 2. Of course, this won't affect Massachusetts, Vermont, or Rhode Island, and probably not Maine, but New Hampshire is a possibility.

    liberals? who the hell do you think you're talking to man? i hate to say it but the fact that we live in the same country shows how out of tune you are. liberals don't exist! you made them up, Rush talks about them, Bush talks about them but who are they exactly? Its used as an insult, you could easily insert 'cocksucker' for liberal in a Rush diatribe and it wouldn't change the meaning at all.

    So, who are these liberals? I for one have abandoned entirely the simplistic 1 dimensional left vs right thinking that has screwed our political process. You live in 3-D but can't expand your political vocabulary to even think that something like leading the free world would require complexity.

    Please break out of your box and, if you want, you can explain to me how a man who has never been to war is more qualified to lead one than somebody who knows intimately what a battle is.

    And on a final note: Don't Vote - Molotov Speaks Much Louder

    No rush? How about not putting enough troops on the ground because that'd take more time? And we lost 380 tons (350 metric) of explosives because of it, among other things, so don't tell me we had enough.

    Wow, that last post had as much quality logic as all your others combined. Thanks, homophobe! :)
