70 lines or so as mandated by federal research. Only around 11 work and even then, not amazingly well. Go on, Bush. Prove me wrong.

Kerry should have been better prepared to defend his position on stem-cell research. He didn't do a very good job.

Why do I get an image of Bush with a 10ft pole, prodding for safe ground in front of him?

Hmmm...Bush hasn't picked anyone to replace any of the HALF of the Supreme Court contemplating retirement.

"no personal opinion"

"won't pick a judge who won't allow the Pledge of Allegiance to be said because it contains the words 'Under God'" - that's not a personal opinion?

Dred Scott? WTF :?

:D Kerry brought up that Bush has stated his favorite justices are Thomas and Scalia, who are (to the best of my knowledge) the two most conservative justices.

Although I did laugh over Scalia's orgy quote.

*groan*

We must be, because I'm totally for stem cell research and he just did not a do a good job defending his position on it.

Good Kerry.

Cant force his faith on other people

Yes...I'm a wee bit (very wee bit) irritated that something so apparently anti-Kerry was asked as the next-to-last question.

Did Kerry just state that he has no bias against atheists? Mad props to the man.
