Kerry's hair is pretty.
Kerry's hair is well mannered
Kerry's hair is strong
Kerry's hair has a high maintenance program
Kerry's hair is touched only by highly paid professionals thus boosting the economy
Kerry's hair is good for the ozone layer
Kerry's hair would never attack anyone.
Oh wow!
This is it, guys!
They're reduced to ridiculing his hair!
<high fives all around>
Hair today, gone tomorrow.
I heard that Kerry's hair once shot a man just for snoring.
Tomorrow, when he parts it on the other side, we can say 'even Kerry's hair flip-flops'.

Quote:We are about to witness the rapid disillusionment of our republican friends. I urge each A2K liberal to be understanding as this will undoubtably be a difficult time for many of our conservative members.
Over the next several weeks, our conservative friends will be experience the loss of a well-constructed fantasy world. They have been so sure they are on the right side of a world with stark definition of right and wrong.
As their leader, who they have ascribed a divine mantel of righteous might is not only defeated, but shown to be a rather impotent buffoon, they will lose this fantasy and its security.
This loss of indentity is a real loss that will lead to legitimate feelings of grief.
As you see the republican members of our community exhibit these behaviors, please be understanding. The biting anger, vitriolic attacks and unbelievable claims are really just natural psychological human responses to a inevitable tragedy.
I offer the work of Dr. Kubler-Ross who developed the "five stages" of grief.
Stage One
Denial, shock, and disbelief. Feeling of numbness. The inability to accept what has happened and insistence that no change has taken place.
Stage Two
Anger that the situation could occur, possibly directed to others.
Stage Three
Beginning to accept the reality of the situation, but trying to 'bargain' for a bit more time , whether through expressions of religious belief or increased compliance with conservative punditry.
Stage Four
Depression, characterized be feelings of hopelessness and despair about what has already been lost and what else will be lost.
Stage Five
Acceptance of the loss, and quiet discussions of defeat with closest friends and relatives. An emotional reprieve from negative emotions. Feelings of peaceful resignation about one's own fate. Lack of interest in, and withdrawal from, the everyday affairs of life, such as political affairs, social events, news stories, and so on.
-----------------
Several A2K members are clearly in stage one.
We have seen recent posts about how Bush "looked good" in the debate, and how he won "on substance". Many are also talking about the war going well.
We are starting to see signs of step two -- anger.
I expect to see very religious posts in a few weeks (stage 3) followed by expressions of negative feelings of hopelessness (stage 4).
Let's be understanding.
Is this still considered Stage 1 or is Stage 2 fully underway?
:wink:
Is this all that Republicans have now?
Truly very sad...
Well, a few of them still have their senses of humor. Let's be patient with them. They've been coming down hard from that post-convention Kerry-abusing high.
I'm probably voting for Kerry, so I can ask this with impunity:
Does he wear a toupee? That hair frightens me.
I think it's his. Did you see in the 70s? That was some serious hair!

They must have a sense of humor being willing to vote for that caricature or should I say poor facsimile of a man in the oval office. :wink:
Kerry's hair will never be as unsightly Bush's boil.
Fortunately, if Bush has a boil right now, it's hidden under his clothing. Only his proctologist knows for sure.
I heard that Bush's boil once shot a man for just thinking about going to sleep.
So, do you think Dick Cheney is really bald, or does he wear a flesh-colored cap?
Does anyone recall that Simpsons Halloween special when Homer gets posessed by Snake's hair? I suggest that Bush and Kerry go into a medical lab and have the same transplant done. Then you would have exactly what you need for the Rebublicans, a psychopath with charisma, and some self-confidence. Unfortunately, he will retain Homer's brain.
