WTF up wit' that rooster strut?

[Bongo Prophet]

One hand out, head bobbing.
A new definition of "looking presidential"

Spinners think he looked strong? Okay.
Wife and I went beyond angry into laughter and derision. These two are a great comedy team! One low key straight man and one wild child emperor.
The clear choice tour.

18. Thanks for the link, JC

You nailed on on the cowboy shtick.

Bookmarking your commentary page.:hi:

2. It's the Frat Grad shuffle.

My take on it is that it's a means of making up for lack of substance.

The world has watched us in our simple mindedness. And it's more than embarrassing.

[billkurtmeyer]

3. I figured it out - * sticks a tennis ball under each arm-pit to maintain

that idiotic cowboy swagger, plus what the f is up with the head bobbing slouch?

4. ChickenF*ckers For Truth

Bush f*cks chickens.

[Spiffarino]

5. It was hilarious

Almost as funny as last week, but not quite. Kerry was determined and forceful, yet composed. Bush was cocky, loud, and condescending. If you were to go by style points alone, Kerry was far superior.

The only question Bush nailed was about abortion and that is because it's an easy one for him...well, just as long as it's somebody else whose girlfriend can't get one.
:nuke:

[skygazer]

8. Nailed it only if you feel abortions should be illegal

And unfinanced by any federal funds. I thought Kerry handled the question with a lot of honesty and sensitivity. He has to uphold the law. And the law is that abortion is legal and is a medical right.

So the only way Bush nailed that question is for those who are anti abortion. For those of us who are pro-choice, he blew it.

[Spiffarino]

19. And by the way

...I don't agree at all with the Shrub's position on choice. By "nailing it" I meant that he stated his position concisely.

I reiterate: His position is a piece of shit, but he articulated it well.

[LynnTheDem]

10. I disagree re him nailing the abortion Q

The GOVERNMENT should NOT be playing doctor; DOCTORS should be deciding what's best for their patients, NOT government officials.

KERRY was RIGHT; it is NOT a simple black & white thing, and the decision of what's best for the patient should be left up to the DOCTORS.

bush was and always is WRONG; it is NOT a simple black & white thing. I WILL NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT have a smarmy BASTARD like bush with NO MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE WHATSOEVER deciding what's medically best for ME.

Any woman who is willing to have BUSH or any other PUBLIC SERVANT decide what's best medically for them, then FINE; go to THEM for your health needs. But you will NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT force me to do likewise.

[Bongo Prophet]

16. I agree with your disagreement.

:toast:

He starts out by saying he didn't understand Kerry's answer, which was clear as a bell. (Fineman also said he didn't understand. Idiot, he had a good week with me)

Easy.
1>I respect your concern and where it comes from
2>I also have a personal concern which comes from MY POV
3>but the president is the leader of ALL the people, of ALL faiths and POV
4>I have to follow that overriding principle under the constitution
5>but I do respect your question

SIMPLE and pretty darn brilliant.

Same with "partial birth abortion" (Grrr, I hate the misleading term, but...)
and the parental notification and the Stem cell issue. And on and on.

REALITY is it is more complex than Mr BlackNwhite can even BEGIN to understand.

He is a simple man. He is an ASSHOLE.
People DIE everyday because he is such a SIMPLE-MINDED ASsssHole.

:grr:
But you knew that.

[LynnTheDem]

21. The so-called "partial birth" abortion ban is just total bullshite.

It's ONLY done when doctors deem it a necessity; the foetus's head is too large to pass thru the birth canal. If the head is not decompressed, the foetus will TEAR the woman APART, KILLING HER.

But the rabid "pro-lifers" don't give a shit about a girl or woman being TORN APART.

Some scream that the baby should then be delivered cesarean section; but PB is always safer than CS, and some women CAN'T HAVE a CS, and WILL DIE from a CS. That's the DOCTOR'S CALL to make; NOT PUBLIC SERVANTS with no medical knowledge and training.

But again, the rabid "pro-lifers" don't give a shit about the girl or woman.

There's a GOOD REASON the AMA opposed the ban on partial birth abortions...they give a damn about the life and well-being of the girl/woman.

There's also a reason why abortion USED to be totally illegal (altho the rich never had any problems) and WHY it then became legal; BECAUSE GIRLS AND WOMEN DIED. A LOT of them. On dirty back-alley butchers' tables. And if abortion is banned, they will DIE again on dirty back-alley butchers' tables.

And if young girls are forced to have their parents notified, many will simply run away from home. And likely DIE. Or pay for a back-alley butcher to abort them. And likely DIE.

I hope all rabid pro-lifers go to ELECTED PUBLIC SERVANTS for their medical needs...and just leave the rest of us to go to QUALIFIED AND TRAINED DOCTORS.

[Bongo Prophet]

24. Damn straight. As is the term "pro-life"

I watched the testimony of doctors on c-span.
I have never seen doctors so heated and adamant about anything before.

Anti-abortionists are blind to the cruelty they impose on the world for their ideology. It's no wonder so many approve of the war, or other similar issues--
whether on receiving end of bombs or bleeding to death in an alley, if it's not in their face it doesn't touch them.

[DemBones DemBones]

25. It's not true that this procedure is only done when the mother

would otherwise die. If that were actually the case, do you really think so many politicians would have signed the ban -- signed a bill that automatically sentenced some women to die? That wouldn't play too well with their constituents.

I don't like hysterical arguments that distort the facts, no matter what side of an issue they're arguing. Abortion was legalized because some people lobbied very skillfully to convince the public that it should be, and because court cases were then brought that prevailed, not because women and girls were dropping like flies from back alley abortions.

[LynnTheDem]

26. That is EXACTLY the case.

never mind. Not worth fighting about. The ban's being overturned. Good enough. :)

[Dark Jedi]

22. B & W? Is it the 50s again?

The damn problem with the social conservatives is that everything is viewed in B & W by them. There are no shades of grey. No compromises. "You're either with us or you're against us" that type of attitude, you know?

[LynnTheDem]

27. mentally rigid.

Too bad the world is made up of a million shades of grey and refuses to conform to the rightwingnut fantasyworld.

[DELUSIONAL]

28. seeing the world as black or white is a personality trait

and these idiots will never see shades of gray.

Didn't bushie demand a "yes or NO" response from Kerry?

The world is very simple for these rigid types -- and bush is an example of a very extreme personality type. He simply has no concept of gray. And he doesn't dwell on the nuances of issues. He can't be bothered. Also bush is completely devoid of empathy -- sure he can cry but his tears are always inappropriate the the situation.

Also -- he often doesn't come up with the black and white absolutes on his own -- he is going to rely on a "mentor" -- and that would be Rove or Cheney.

One reported said that during the 2000 political campaign that he tried to bush to explain his REASON for his opposition to abortion. bush could only give a superficial response -- it is wrong. period -- end of discussion.

bush is a prime example of poor parenting -- poor socialization. He sure seems to have a pathological love/hate relationship with his parents. We saw him go ballistic in the first debate when his father was quoted by Kerry.

[barb162]

6. just another form of his arrogant strutting around like Mr. Boffo

[unkachuck]

7. two words...

....jock itch....

[DoYouEverWonder]

9. That's what he does

when he not trying to sit still while rapidly blinking his eyes. You could have seizure just from watching him blinking all the time.

[cheshire]

11. Goes along with the cocka doddle do speak.

[K8-EEE]

12. Please, No Need To Insult

roosters.

Personally I thought it was more like Yosemite Sam. I half expected him to call Kerry a "varmint"

[Dark Jedi]

23. Yosemite Bush

Heh heh. texans do say that a lot.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

13. Well you can tell by the way I use my walk

I'm a neocon, no time to talk

[FizzFuzz]

30. oh mannnn I am laughing my ASS OFFF!!!!!!!!!

Feel the world quakin, and hearts world wide are breakin, cuz we don't care if you die! don't care if you die!
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Don't care if you die! Don't care if you die!
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!

[Politicub]

14. We had to rewind it

My b/f said it looked like Bush had something stuck up his ass

[ibegurpard]

17. Oh, you are so effing right!

He reminded me of a stupid bobblehead doll tonight.
In fact, I think I'm going to start calling him President Bobblehead.

[Dark Jedi]

20. Mucho Macho

It is how tough, "real men" texans walk :) They are not limp-wristed like the French or even Northeast "coastal elitists". These are the stereotypes you get from the rightwing.

[asian_al]

[fishnfla]
