  • Win It For...

       November 02, 2004

    Bill Simmons, the "Sports Guy" on ESPN.com is a huge Boston Red Sox fan. Before the final World Series game, he linked to a great thread simply called "Win it For". In the 54 pages of messages that followed, fans talked about who they personally wanted the Red Sox to win it for.

    So, who do you want Bush to win it for? Leave your answer in the comments.

    I want him to win it for my Dad who was a loyal Republican to the end. He was diagnosed with terminal cancer the day after the Republican victories of 2002. I like to think that at least that day was happy. He's the one who taught me that America truly was the land of the free and the home of the brave. He would have been proud of the kind of President that Bush has become.

    I can think of about 3,000 people he should win it for. They died 11 Sept 2001.

    Thanks Cherie. I also should have added how much Dad would have hated Kerry. I think he'd think of him as a male Jane Fonda.

    First, happy birthday Kris!

    Two people:

    First, Dan McNeal, a good friend of my family who was killed by al Qaeda on 9/11/01. He was a tireless conservative who said the following which I will carry with me for the rest of my life: "At the core of my ideology is the belief that people are basically good and probably smart."

    Second is my son, James. Above all else I want him to live in a world where political dissent isn't grounds for intimidation, where people who try to achieve political ends by crashing jet airplanes into office buildings are destroyed without mercy, and where evil is directly confronted and decisively vanquished instead of tolerated as a nuisance.

    Win it for Halliburton and Halliburton shareholders who depend on no bid contracts and shady political connections for fast cars and trophy wives.

    Win it for every poor schmuck who is making more than $200,000 and will have to give up a tax break and will have to get their new SUV without OnStar.

    Win it for Oil Companies, Drug Companies, Accounting Companies, Outsourced Call Centers, Creationist Textbook Publishers, Bill O'Reilly's Dildo Suppliers, Media Conglomerates.

    Win it for the troops who prefer him as C-in-C by a ratio of about 4-1.

    Nice post Larry Bird. No doubt a libby who gets his information straight from Michael Moore. I want Bush to win to shut people like him up and because Bush is just the right choice for our country at this time.

    i say yes he should win it for haliburton, just to piss democrats off, and win it for michael moore, just because i want to see the look on his face when Bush wins the election for four more years of presidency.

    most importantly, i agree with Bush needing to win it for the 3,000 victims of 9-11, and also the thosands of soldiers that have and continue to serve in Iraq, as well as for any other soldier that has ever fought for america. And no, John Kerry didn't fight for america in vietnam. He may have had our uniform on, but he was definitely not helping us. I would call him dead weight, and dead weight is the last thing we need in the white house.
