These dumbasses never cease to amaze me.

1. This will help Kerry

Nobody likes a sore loser.

[RebelOne]

2. Looks like they are getting desperate.

And will try any ploy they can to discredit Kerry.

[NoPasaran]

3. Details?

Some of us don't like to visit Drudgery.

4. Please post a snip or summary of what they're saying

if you can. I don't like to give sludge's site more hits so I won't visit. Thanks! :)

6. Here

DEBATE MYSTERY: DID KERRY HAVE CHEAT SHEET?

Section 5, pages 4-5 of the binding "Memorandum of Understanding" that was negotiated and agreed upon by both political campaigns states:

"No props, notes, charts, diagrams, or other writings or other tangible things may be brought into the debate by either candidate.... Each candidate must submit to the staff of the Commission prior to the debate all such paper and any pens or pencils with which a candidate may wish to take notes during the debate, and the staff or commission will place such paper, pens and pencils on the podium..."

So what did Dem presidential contender John Kerry take out of his jacket as he approached the stage ?

What did Kerry place on the podium?

7. They were allowed to bring their own notepads (nt)

14. Cheers, thanks

Bookmarked. :thumbsup:

I just saw the threads in GD04 so I'm all caught up. Between this crap and the Keyes campaign in my state, this is the funniest election season ever!

5. Oh hahahahahahahahah

Did Bush wear an earpiece? I'm sure there was one. Maybe they just can't fathom the possibilty that someone somewhere KNOWS STUFF!

[Cats Against Frist]

20. Right: hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

Stolen laptops!!!!

Cheating at the debate!!!!


What a bunch of fucking sore losing asshole mother fuckers.


Gawwwwwwwd

[OneTwentyoNine]

8. What was the RW talking point in 2000 about "getting over it"??

Oh yeah...Bush won the election,get over it. Well I guess we can play that game too.

10. Kerry did cheat! He cheated everyone that thought junior was gonna

frappe the senator. LOL!

[maveric]

11. Why would Kerry have to cheat? He just answered questions he has

answered before. Its not like Lehrer threw him a curve.

Bottom line: Kerry answered the questions asked to him and bu*h fumbled on his questions and responses.

These peole are desperate and they KNOW that their boy fucked up and is now trailing Kerry after that debate.

[iamjoy]

12. I Am Suspicious

Even though it appears Kerry did pull something out of his jacket. The film could well have been doctored. I clearly remember Kerry taking notes during the debate, and when Kerry walked up it doesn't appear there is paper there.

Furthermore, the rules state that if a candidate does use notes, the moderator is supposed to remind him that per the agreement, the notes were not allowed. The agreement also stated the cameras were only supposed to be focused on the person speaking and we all know what happened with THAT.

Also, neither campaign can use film or audio footage from the debate in any way.

And hey, we could make an issue of almost everytime Kerry responded to Bush, Bush asked for an extra thirty seconds, whereas Kerry rarely asked for the thirty second follow up. At least one time Jim Lehrer skipped giving Kerry his 30 seconds after Bush had his. I mean, if you want to get nit-picky...

17. They didn't put Kerry's prescribed paper or pen on the lecturn

So, of course, he just might have taken some paper or a pen from his pocket. Shows inititiative if you ask me.

"So I don't worry about, and people shouldn't
worry about a draft. . . I think we're in good
shape, I really do. And, if not, we'll -- I'll address
the nation. But I don't see any need to right now."

13. Well people said it would get real ugly from here on out,

so I guess here we go. Hope Kerry campaign is better prepared for this smear than they were for the last.

None of those questions were that hard or unexpected. Bush was just sorry. Kerry didn't do it to him, it was no one else's fault, he just sucked. It was his own smirkiness that got him, as much as the incoherence of his answers. All he had to do was keep a halfway pleasant expression on his face, not that hard.

15. how do you cheat in a debate? By not being as dumb as the other guy?

This is nuts

[Swede]

16. Yep,right in front of millions of viewers.

How pathetic can the freepers get?

[Seeker30]

18. Well they did steal an election

And hijack the most powerful country in the world.....

[mmonk]

19. So Kerry knew the questions to be asked?

Talk about conspiracy theories.

[Lost147]

23. it looks quite suspicous

well the unless the film has been edited or something I'd say that it's enough evidence to be suspicous.

[mmonk]

26. His notepad

on which he jotted down bush reponses.

[NoPasaran]

21. What a pathetic argument!

There weren't any trick questions asked in that debate---it's not like Lehrer asked Bush* what the capital of Tajikistan is. The bottom line is Kerry was prepared and articulate, Bush* was totally out of his league. I guess he was tired from all the "hard work" of posing for a photo op in front of hurricane debris.

22. Whatta Sore Loser!

24. looks like Kerry and Bush took stuff out at the same time

looked like pens so i guess if thats cheating than Bush is guilty as well.

[Endangered Specie]

25. Sounds like what happens when I play online games..

I kick their ass so hard they accuse me of cheating ;)

[shawn703]

27. This will blow up in their faces if they push this

It looks to me like he pulled a pen out of his suit coat and pulled the top off it when he got to the podium.

For one thing, many people keep pens with them, and he probably just pulled it out because of habit, not because of he wanted to break any rules. One of his aides probably forgot to frisk him before he went out on stage to make sure he didn't have any dangerous pens on him.

For another, if the Republicans really wanted to make a big stink about it, the Democrats could point out that Bush interrupted Kerry to interject the statement about keeping his daughters on a leash.

Which rule violation is easier to prove?
