To elaborate for those not watching,

Bush just punked Kerry by quoting some "Kerry thinks Sadam is an ass" and "Kerry thinks the war is justified" lines from 2000/2003 and saying, "I agree with him".

His pausing killed me there.

ROFL, he just said Saddam when he meant Bin Laden ohhhh fucking man..

He sounds like he's pissed that we're questioning him on this.

Kerry is looking QUITE presidential. He brought his A game.

Yeah I cringed when he did that.. big big ouch. Otherwise he is doing pretty well so far.

Kerry just gave Bush a window with the stuff about the military not having body armor or whatever. He should shoot back by reminding him that he voted against the 87 billion.

Knife · Post by **Knife** » 2004-09-30 09:19pm

Hmmm, good stuff. Very direct at the moment.

Knife · Post by **Knife** » 2004-09-30 09:22pm

Ok, Kerry is as bad at tap dancing as Bush.

THe question isn't what Bush didn't do. The question is what WOULD YOU do.

Bush's comeback on Kerry's spending was fucking awkward

From what I'm hearing so far, it's a sure bet neither of these clowns would survive a few rounds in these forums. This is almost as bad as the performance two of my classmates gave in the mock presidential debate in our civics class back in 1980.

But does he seem like someone you'd drink with? Remember, that's much more important than looking presidental.

Yup.

Ooops, there's the Patriot act. Stay on the offense.

Kerry looks to have learned from Gore. He's very respectful and composed whenever Bush is talking. Bush looks like a weak little shit next to Kerry.

What are they being asked now?

Agreed, I don't know how many times he can flash that Kerry

before he looks like a 'used car salesman'.

Bush seems to stumble at the start of every question, though.

There goes Bush spouting off foreign names - show off.

Did you see Bush falter over bringing out troops home?

No artificial deadlines - you know like the handoff of power and the upcoming elections - whoops.

Fuck this I'm going watch Comedy Central. Southpark > Bush & Kerry. However, I hope Kerry is effective and Bush continues to stut-tt-tt--ttter,

"[A peaceful Iraq] will secure Israel"

Oooh boy...

What kind of question even fractionally important can be answered on the fly in 2 minutes and then rebuted in 90 seconds?

Knife · Post by **Knife** » 2004-09-30 09:28pm

Kerry just left himself open on that 87 billion again. I think he might have a snappy answer ready for that, since he's left himself open on it twice, now.

Bush sure seems to have a lot of aspirations for a "free Iraq" and dammit Kerry, stop with the military record. We know. We get it. You served. Go you.
