Presidential Debate II Comment Thread

Oh my god! Dubya said Dred Scott was wrong under the law!
Dred Scott was in fact 100% legally correct because the Constitution at the time allowed slavery and demanded that slaves be returned to their owners even if they fled to free states.
Was Bush lying or is he really that fucking stupid? We were taught about Dred Scott in the 5th grade. Dubya is one dumb twat.

Now he brings up the Laci Peterson law. At least he didn't try to use the stupid claim that it "protects pregnant women."

Don't legislate religion! Represent the atheists! Woot!
Kerry's Catholic comments remind me of something my hero Pat told me today. "I'm Catholic, so I'm practically atheist anyway."

OMG!! LOADED QUESTION!!!
Nitram, slightly high on cough syrup: Do you know you're beautiful?
Me: Nope, that's why I have you around to tell me.
Nitram: You -are- beautiful. Anyone tries to tell you otherwise kill them.

OK, Bush, ANSWER THE FUCKING QUESTION.
Stop beating around the bush (pun not intended) and tell three mistakes you made, don't try to justify your little imperialistic excusions.

Kerry really handled the abortion part well - managed to keep the pro-choice side happy without alienating the anti-choice portion. Bush just tried to distort what Kerry said.
And did anybody else catch the hypocrisy of Bush saying he favored a strict interpretation of the Constitution, after pushing the Patriot Act?

After Kerry explained why he voted against it, no less, in very clear words. Bush looks like a simpleton.Admiral Valdemar wrote:Black and white fallacy.

Answer the question.

So Bush wants an underage girl who's been raped by her father to have to notify the son-of-a-bitch. Scumbag.

He refused to answer. He's done. This debate was lost when he outright refused to name three mistakes he made.

I knew when I heard that last question that Bush wasn't going to admit that he'd ever done anything wrong.

And now Bush tried to take the first closing statement after the moderator said it belonged to Kerry.
