Kerry's Catholic comments remind me of something my hero Pat told me today. "I'm Catholic, so I'm practically atheist anyway."
"Culture of life"? This from the same sick fuck who yukked it up over the freak show execution of Karla Faye Tucker?

So Bush wants an underage girl who's been raped by her father to have to notify the son-of-a-bitch. Scumbag.
Umm...what did that have to do with me?

I knew when I heard that last question that Bush wasn't going to admit that he'd ever done anything wrong.
Sorry, I clicked the "quote" button instead of "reply". Thanks to Durandal and The Dark for answering some dude's moronic response.

Hey, no prob.

I am so glad I'm not playing a drinking game. Taking a shot every time Bush mentioned September 11th would have killed me via alcohol poisoning.

When he kept interrupting the moderator and forced a response in before the moderator gave him permission.

Or "hard work." I don't think I heard "flip-flopper," though. That was a nice change.

If this had been a boxing match, it would have been stopped in the first round. :lol:

Bush would have done himself better if he had walked out on stage with Jheri-culred tresses and answered every question put to him by shouting:

"Cuz I'm Rick James, BITCH!"

My point is that it seems to be the keystone to everything Bush strives for. It's as if the guy wouldn't have a clue if those attacks hadn't happened. I mean, what else could he have done other than play the proverbial American cowboy of justice on the global stage?

Kerry crushed Bush even though Bush did better then last time.

if you ignore that little hissy fit.

Yes, I do, but he did lose. However, he did much better in this debate; he did not look visibly tired and angry like he did a week ago during the last half.
