Bush's message:

1) Tax cuts are turning the economy around, lets stick with the course.

2) We have brought democracy to Iraq and kicked out an evil dictator, lets not leave before the job is finished.

3) We are fighting a war on terror, it is expensive and it is difficult, but we need to fight it and not screw around (no major terrorist attack since 9-11 so our current approach is working).

More simply:

STAY THE COURSE. STAY THE COURSE. STAY THE COURSE. STAY THE COURSE. FINISH THE JOB FINISH THE JOB FINISH THE JOB.

bingo! I'd vote for him all over again!!

You said, "Bush, in those debates, kept preaching the same message over and over again. He may have not said it eloquently, but he kept repeating the same message and it really resonated with voters. The vast majority of voters say they though Kerry won the debates but most viewers liked Bush's message." How is that saying that they could sum up Bush's message but not Kerry's? Moron.

You have displaced SHP as the most insipid useless poster on this board. This vapidity may play on Craigslist or the DU, but this is a board of substance and topicality. Either read for comprehension purposes and respond in like kind or go back and spew nonsense with the hormonally rushed crowd on the FB.

STAY THE COURSE. STAY THE COURSE. STAY THE COURSE. STAY THE COURSE. FINISH THE JOB FINISH THE JOB FINISH THE JOB.

New Board Motto.

The tragedy is, a year later that message is looking a lot different. Bush was able to sell the point that the job could be finished, if we stayed the course. Increasing, the American people are starting to doubt that. I think the result in Nov. 2005 would have been different than in 2004 - and I think Nov. 2006 will be different too.

No wonder they call you an asshole.

Ps: I got this wrong, slightly.

Most useless posters of insipidity:

1. fringey;

2. Nut_penske;

3. SHP, but in fairness you are moving in the right direction.

Exactly and surely the Astros could have won in a best of 9 series. So close, so close......

Dissent. They cannot be forgiven for their uniforms in the '70s. Had it not been for the Padres, whose entire front office apparently took some bad 'shrooms, they would have been the ugliest in MLB history.

Okay - who posted the Wikipedia Senate link? I just wasted an hour on that thing when I should have been working. That is like placing crack before a crack head. Not playing fair.

Why do I have to make all my points in one sentence. Can't I make it in two?

When I said you were not listening, I meant to Bush in the debates.

The focus group people said Kerry was very eloquent but they don't remember what he said. They said they liked Bush's message which was - things are working, stay the course to give them time to fully work out. Most got that message.

I didn't get the message. My response would have been a lot more complicated. I heard a lot of what Kerry said and I had trouble following W. a lot. Kerry said we weren't prepared for the peace, the deficits are out of control, etc. But clearly I am not your average American. Some how I got what they missed. That is why I have to watch focus groups to understand what happened.

Gatti is too young to remember the 70s.
