The OaO Presidential Debate II Thread

[Guest MikeSC]

And, sorry, Michael J. Fox doesn't exactly qualify as a medical expert.

 

Nor does Nancy Reagan.

 

Nor does the shaking man.

 

Nor does Christopher Reeve.

 

Why not quote a, you know, doctor?

-=Mike

[Guest GreatOne]

Uh oh, name-drop time

Tough question for Kerry - Strong, respectful answer.

 

Incredible performances tonight. This is a debate of historical proportions...

[Jobber of the Week 0]

THANK GOD!

 

Bush nailed that answer.

 

THe Patriot Act simply treats terrorists the way we treated such groups as mobsters.

 

He NAILED this one.

 

Hard.

-=Mike

Except it's being misused.

 

Strip club owners are not terrorists.

 

And I don't think Cheney "nailed" Edwards when most people didn't know what the hell he was talking about.

[UZI Suicide 0]

Kerry just went totally Bush with that stuttering.

[Downhome 0]

Nor does the shaking man.

Screw you, the shaking man knows all.

[AndrewTS 0]

Kerry had a "Bush moment" there.

 

"uh..duh...hu-hu.."

[Guest MikeSC]

He'll have a hard time answering the fact that Bush is the most pro-stem cell research President in history.

 

And Bush only banned public funding. Private research is quite legal.

I think Fox was the shaking man...

 

And he was trying to convey a message of hope with those examples.

No, he said he was up there WITH Fox when a shaking man started talking.

 

And, you know, a name of a, you know, doctor or scientist would have been a markedly more beneficial anecdote.

Shakes McFly!

 

Kerry has a plan to make Teen Wolf 3.

While we've seen some of the same weaknesses as last debate, both guys are much, much improved here.

[Jobber of the Week 0]

And Bush only banned public funding.

Nothing was banned, California is considering funding what Bush wouldn't, although I don't think we need another 9 billion in debt right now.

 

He's getting mightily close to the "stem cell research = abortion" spin.

[Guest MikeSC]

He's allowed the research but not allowed all of the public funding.

 

Really not that hard to grasp.

 

And, you know, DROP THE NAME OF A DOCTOR OR SCIENTIST.

Hmmm..my mistake then...

 

I say the answer was good though...he didnt intend to quote doctors because American voters would be more interested in this hopeful anectdote.

      -=Mike

Go look on JOHNKERRY.COM, maybe some real information is there hiding away.

 

Along with the plans.

[Jobber of the Week 0]

He's allowed the research but not allowed all of the public funding.

FEDERAL funding. Again, California is considering granting funds for the research Bush wouldn't fund.

[snuffbox 0]

Damn, some really good questions tonight.

[teke184 0]

Bush is reinforcing the base here with this Supreme Court vacancy question.

Someone here might know more than I do on this whole embryo buisness. The research being done for stem cell stuff is using embryo's that people donate to fertility clinics right?

 

Isn't that a better option than complete abortion where NOTHING can be gained?

[Guest MikeSC]

That's honestly a damned good question by that man. Best audience question of the night, IMO.

 

And, honestly, a damned good answer by Bush. He won't give specifics --- but, uh, mentioning Dred Scott was a little odd.

-=Mike

[GreatWhiteNope 0]

Bush is gonna get fucked...up with that kind of logic.

 

"We need someone who will strictly interpret the Constitution without personal opinion"

 

Kerry's gonna shit all over it.

[Jobber of the Week 0]

"The Constitution of the United States says... Uhhh.. You know, it doesn't say that."

[Guest MikeSC]

He's allowed the research but not allowed all of the public funding.

FEDERAL funding. Again, California is considering granting funds for the research Bush wouldn't fund.

And not providing federal funding is a little different than BANNING research.

-=Mike

[Guest GreatOne]

Hell I don't believe we even need a GOOD judge!

-=Mike

I was pretty impressed by Bush's historical reference...

 

And Im sure there were a few Southern Whackos who dont like it, but its good to see Bush say something like that.

[Jobber of the Week 0]

-=Mike

I'm correcting your language regarding "banning funds." Being more specific can be GOOD.

Kerry is talking a good talk here. The question, though, is whether his record will show he didn't follow this when appointing federal judges in Mass.

[AndrewTS 0]

A winnar is Kerry on the Justices question, at least with moderates.
