I think this is probably not the way to go about getting votes:
Kerry campaign manager Mary Beth Cahill said Monday[,] "It's time to redirect the cheap name-calling away from Bush and toward those Americans who might be idiotic enough to vote for him."A controversial 30-second TV spot for Kerry that aired throughout the Midwest Monday blamed the country's ills not on Bush's policies, but on the "sheer stupidity" of America's voters.
"In the past four years, America's national debt has reached an all-time high," the ad's narrator said. "And who's responsible? You are. You're sitting there eating a big bowl of Fritos, watching TV, and getting fatter as the country goes to hell. You ought to be ashamed of yourself."
I think that's unfair. I don't like Fritos.
This is not good. Now, Kerry will have to come out against the ad. He spends half his time distancing himself from crazy supporters and the other half criticizing Bush -- when's he going to find the time to define himself and get people to vote for him...sigh.

I too get all my political information from the Onion. Well....when I'm not watching MTV News, that is.

Idiots. All of you don't even realize that THAT article came from The Onion - a parody website.
You're as bad as Bush. All of you.

Americans creep me out, they're such extereme nationalists and fundalmentalist god-fearing people. It's no wonder why the majority of the global community abhors america. But history has taught us that superpowers do not last forever, example: the British, the Romans..i think america needs take into consideration the other world countries and stop being so damn selfish, gulping down their coke, and munching on thier fatty chips.
