Bush just looked like an arrogant ass

[RainDog]

when he interrupted Gibson and walked around the stage in response to the issue of the National Guard...when he avoided answering directly, btw..

Bush evaded the issue that Kerry brought up, which was that the Nat'l Guard is practically on active duty.

Bush strutted around like an Elmer Gantry trying to convince people that the sky is green.

1. Yea, that was terrible. He lost big points on that one

2. I think he just lost control of the debate to Kerry w/that stunt

3. I hope that did him in.

he tried to calm down for the next question, but he is so obviously over-the-top...

don't bother him with facts!!

He believes!!

That's why he's let "faith-based" drug treatment programs tell a guy "he lost his right to freedom of religion" when he entered an Assembly of God program that took away the guy's rosary and told him his faith, Catholicism, was witchcraft.

the guy NEVER got drug treatment, left the program, was sentenced to three months in jail, three months in boot camp, and FINALLY after all that, was able to get drug treatment from a secular treatment facililty.

...and for that reason, the ACLU is helping the guy. I hope the guy sues that "faith-based" program and bankrupts them because they are worse than useless.

They are dangerous.

And they are Bush's base (and Ashcroft's church.)
