I think that is the best one. <br><br>

And what I'M asking, as someone who doesn't have his head up one candidate's ass or the other, is if you honestly thought that should be considered 'cheating'?<br><br>What would you suggest as a disciplinary action then?<br><br>[color:red]C'mon...you know me.</font color=red>

i would have posted that here if i'd checked here first. fits right in. <br><br>i can't believe this is actually being discussed. <br><br><br>--<br>one of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors. -Plato

Nude Debates!! well see who really pulls something out their a$$ ;)<br><br>so is everyone mad that the media didnt play by the rules? they showed split screen (gasp) and reactions (oh my) face it we have a mpeg video severely blown up and no proof of anything except drudge firing up the talking point machine instead of focusing on the issues!!<br><br>People we are looking at issues not at some BS thing like this, once again we shouldnt even be debating, this, but hey anything to distract from the ISSUES in america today.<br><br>You cant polish a Turd.

OKay, first of all, do you really think that you're the only person that saw him taking the item out? Do you think that there were no people (Bush's folks, moderators, et al) at the "debate" that saw him take it out? Why didn't they say something? could it be because it wasn't a big deal? MAybe they knew what it was.<br><br>Or, I guess that maybe at some point, just before the debate started, all the official "rule keeping guys" went out for a Big Mac. Or maybe Popeye's. And kerry was like:<br><br>"Oh yeah, baby! Time to sneak in my copy of Cliff's notes for Presidential debates in the early twenty-first century."<br><br>

Allow me to clarify my statement in less offensive terms: "Speaking as one who doesn't strongly support either candidate".<br><br>That better? <br><br>[color:red]C'mon...you know me.</font color=red>

Well, considering you don't really know for sure what he had, difinitively stating that Kerry cheated is inappropriate at this time, IMHO ...<br><br>Has anybody considered that whatever it was was examined and vetted by the debate officials? That everybody there already KNEW what it was, so it was no big deal? has anybody even bothered to ask the Kerry or Bush camps about this?<br><br>Tempest in a teapot for now ...<br><br>***matt<br><br>Turn up the signal, wipe out the noise ...
