Paladin D Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 [quote name='Iacobus' date='Oct 9 2004, 06:11 PM'] Bush lied a TON. Kerry lied a bit. LOL! Read the fact check report. The 1st debate was more heavily on Bush, and the seond was more heavy on Chency. However this debates report is pretty well divided up. But I am going to say Bush's lies were a bit worse. He is evvvilllll. And a robot! It was in the World Weekly News so it MUST be true. It was right after the story about the bat boy in the NYC subway. They had pictures! lol. [/quote] Both lied.

Iacobus Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 LOL! I know they both Lied Pal. Tha tis what I said, before my whole Bush is a robort sent from Mars to rule the world tabolid story. Ben, the rules of the debate, agreed to by both Bush and Kerry, stated that only the moderater can extend time on a question, and that is at his discreation, and he can ask a question, ie emblorate on what you just said esp xyz, and than Bush or Kerry or the wall or whoever he asked is supposed to answer that question. Both Bush and Kerry failed the answer the budget question and he asked again and Kerry semi answered it and Bush avoided it again. Disrespect the moderator is not only disrespecting the rules he agreed to but disrespecting an other human. Let's put it this way, if Gibson was a judge, Bush would have been held in contempt of court. Bush DOES own a timber company, look at his 2003 income thing.

ilovechrist Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 i really have no interest whatsoever in looking @ Bush's income tax form. none whatsoever. it was just funny at the time. i also do not remember hearing anyone saying that ONLY the moderator can extend time. as to avoid answering questions.... that was Kerry 3/4 of the time. the moderator would ask a question, and Kerry would direct the answer to some carp about Bush not leading the troops the right way in the war on terror.

Ash Wednesday Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 Apparently, the first woman who asked a question at the debate was on NPR -- and has decided to vote for Bush. I don't recall if she was leaning Kerry or not, and I don't even think her decision had anything to do with her question. She was offended that Kerry (and I'm not saying that he believed such) but he came across as condescending when he made the assumption that there were only 3 people in that room earning over $200,000/year. She felt that he was assuming the audience was some kind of podunk low-class bunch of people from "muh-zoh-ruh." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean he looked uncomfortable with that question the same way Kerry looked uncomfortable talking about tax-dollar abortions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Knight Posted October 11, 2004 Author Share Posted October 11, 2004 I thought the majority here were Bush Supporters? or undecideds, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcePrincessKRS Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 I think we are, but to be fair from everything I've heard (I didn't see the first debate) I'd have to admit that I think Kerry won that one. I most definately think Bush won the second one, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Wednesday Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Meh, contempt of court? Sure, I guess we could do that, and sweep under the rug the moderator giving extra time to Edwards on accident, and the boy disregarding the moderator's instructions not to mention Kerry's name in a reply in debate #2..... since we want to get into partisan nitpicking. It's only fair. I could also wonder why Kerry took a pen with him to his debate podium, which one isn't technically supposed to do (I did start a thread asking about it, but I did have the sense to at least put it on the lame board since I figured it came from Republican mud slinging) but it's just as well that one was just let go. Perhaps it was a small rule broken, but it's not going to make or break an election. I'll give him due credit that he did a good job (because he had to.) You reach a point where you wonder if it's all really worth the whining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iacobus Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 I didn't watch the VEEP debate, therefore I don't think I am quialified to comment on that debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
