The OaO Presidential Debate II Thread

[Guest MikeSC]

I saw what he was shooting for --- but I think Plessy v Ferguson (if that is correct --- the "Seperate but equal" doctrine) would've been more what he was looking for.

 

And Kerry didn't answer that terribly well.

Holy shit. What type a question is THAT?

[snuffbox 0]

Yet another tough question.

[Justice 0]

Commence the altar boy jokes.

[Guest GreatOne]

Yep, wouldn't be Kerry without a backdoor 'Nam reference

[Guest MikeSC]

Holy shit. What type a question is THAT?

A real shitty one. Heck, I hate abortion --- but NEITHER guy can say anything but "It's legal".

Kerry saying that religion should be kept out of politics - I like that.

 

Bush's response should be interesting.

[Guest MikeSC]

Kerry has lost his ability to speak well at the end here. Stuttering a lot more than usual.

If I was Kerry, I wouldn't mention Teresa until after the election...

 

He may love her, but she doesn't know when to shut her mouth.

Kerry could have made that answer a bit shorter...

I dont think anyone 'likes' abortion...

 

Thats why I dont like the term 'pro-life', its not like the other side is 'pro-death'. Its just a matter of a woman having supreme rights over her own body.

[Special K 0]

Yup, but he actually looked passioante a bit!

[Rob E Dangerously 0]

One way to reduce abortions is to ban some of them.

 

Bush's anti-slavery stance may make South Carolina a swing state. j/k

[Guest MikeSC]

Have you seen some of the "I had an abortion" T-shirts and the like? Or the "I love abortion" baby bibs (NOT making that up, mind you)?

No mention of Bush of sex ed, etc.

[Special K 0]

mnmm I actually think the nation is more pro -life than the politicos think.

[GreatWhiteNope 0]

I think rape would be an exception, John.

[Guest MikeSC]

Kerry, hate to break it to you, but there is NO medical requirement for partial birth abortion.

-=Mike

[Guest GreatOne]

And Kerry to the theatrics here

[Justice 0]

Damn. Called out on Partial Birth Abortion Ban.

[snuffbox 0]

Kerry made a pretty good comeback there.

[Downhome 0]

I love how Bush is dealing with this one, just love it.

 

Just as I said Bush looks like he knows he's on fire right now and doing great, I think Kerry has really started to look like he knows the same is true as well.

I think rape would be an exception, John.

Rape, incest, and threat to the life of the mother are all exceptions nearly every candidate, conservative or liberal, typically agree on.

[Guest MikeSC]

Ah, "What mistakes have you made?" Yeesh.

-=Mike

...He is SO not answering it...

[Special K 0]

Yeah. Damn. Bush is fuckin' whining now

[Guest MikeSC]

I love the lack of apology for going into Iraq. I love it.

-=Mike

That's just general irony and tasteless humor. Kind of like the I(plane)NY and "FUCK FOR JESUS" shirts.

 

I don't think that's an adequate test of political opinion.

[Cartman 0]

No...you jackass...she wants to see if you can admit to making a mistake or not. Which you totally avoided.

[Guest GreatOne]

Uh K please to describe 'fuckin' whining'?

[teke184 0]

Bush pretty much states that certain appointments were a mistake.

 

Which one(s), Ashcroft?
