The OaO Presidential Debate II Thread

Recommended Posts

Hey, he's called "Special" K for a reason, leave him alone.

Yeah, you'd HAVE to be on ketamine (Special K) to think that Kerry is winning this debate so far.

:lol: Nice

Wait a minute, Kerry's gonna revive the internet boom?

 

Or bring Enron back to life?

Kerry is actually explaining his plan...albeit very methodically...

 

He clearly doesnt want to pronounce it out right, but questions like this one are getting him to explain it a little more clearer...

 

Strong pledge message as well, btw.

Kerry's pledge message was solid.

 

I don't buy it. His tax hike on the rich isn't nearly enough.

* Prohibit individuals from bringing a medical malpractice liability action unless a qualified specialist determines that a reasonable claim exists.

* Support mandatory sanctions for claims and defenses that are presented for improper purposes or that are not warranted by existing law or by an argument without merit for the extension, modification, or reversal of existing law or the establishment of new law.

* Provide additional incentives for reducing the number of lawsuits that can and should be filed. To that end, Senator Kerry would require states to make available nonbinding mediation in all cases before permitting plaintiffs to proceed to trial on any medical liability claim.

* Finally, Senator Kerry opposes the award of punitive damages in medical liability cases except upon proof of intentional misconduct, gross negligence or reckless indifference to life.

 

 

This is Kerry's tort reform plan.

 

Not, you know, really a plan.

Commission?

 

We'll hold a summit, to convene a commission, to hire a consultant...

 

 

Christ, it's like listening to Governor Kathleen Blanco of Louisiana.

So far this has been just about the most evenly matched debate Ive ever seen...

 

It may come down to small intangibles that decide the public polling on this one (Bush's outburts, etc...Kerry's liberal use of the 'plan').

He voted for a balanced budget in 1993?

      -=Mike

Wasn't that the plan that Gephardt kept talking about, talking about how it passed by only one vote?

That budget wasn't balanced.

Problem with 'dem forests is that they aren't being cut down!

Too bad the best way to increase forests is to increase logging.

 

And, WOW, that guy looked PISSED, didn't he?

I disagree with much of what hes saying tonight, but I respect that Bush is actually answering the questions and thanking the audience for the tough ones.

Did Kerry just say something about being a Redskin fan?

 

Don't forget to pimp the ALCS-bound Sox before you go John....................

They were growing just fine before there was a sustained logging industry.

Too bad we have more forests now than 100 years ago, isn't it?

...Watch "Bullshit" about this one...
