"Bush Taunts Kerry, Tests Debate Lines"

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - President Bush (news - web sites) taunted Democratic rival John Kerry (news - web sites) and tested debate lines before friendly audiences in Colorado and Arizona on Tuesday while Kerry crammed in private for Wednesday night's final faceoff of the campaign.

Three weeks before the election, the running mates were running hard, too. Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites) defended anew the invasion of Iraq (news - web sites), but Sen. John Edwards (news - web sites) said Bush and Cheney had made a mess of the war and were "out of touch with what's happening in the real world."

Kerry prepared at a Santa Fe, N.M., hotel for his third televised confrontation with Bush, scheduled for 9 p.m. EDT in Tempe, Ariz., but he did take time during the afternoon for a bike ride. Bush met with political advisers and his debate sparring partner, Sen. Judd Gregg (news, bio, voting record), R-N.H.

At a rally in Colorado Springs, Bush mocked Kerry's credibility and said the debates so far "have highlighted the clear differences between the senator and me on issues ranging from jobs to taxes to health care to the war on terror."

1. Bush is the incumbant.
why isn't he talking about his record, what he's done for the country? Oh, I forgot-he's done nothing for this country except try to ruin it.

2. Bush looks awful--terrible
I do think there is something physically wrong with this man. He just looks demented in that picture. I think he is indeed, insane and not capable of executing the office of the presidency.

I have wondered about the string of Graves disease in his family. Big Barb the bitch has it, and so does Poppy according to what I have read.

5. Wait...
How long have we been hearing that he's been "testing debate lines"? All of his "lines" last debate flopped, so let's hope it's, as JK said: more of the same.

6. His stupid little quips won't work in a formal debate setting...
The crowd won't laugh and it'll make him look stupid and condescending. I hope he does throw a few out there so America sees what a truly pathetic asshole we have for a president.

7. "He's gunna raise your taxes!"
"In a last-minute flurry of accusations before their final debate, President George W Bush told supporters that Democratic challenger John Kerry cannot pay for his proposed domestic programmes without a tax increase."

Bush can't pay for these two wars with his tax cuts :-)

8. Geez, he can't even taunt right
Edited on Tue Oct-12-04 07:46 PM by rocknation
Taunting is for when you're WAY ahead in the game, or before the starts and you have at least a reason to believe you have the advantage. And why is he practicing in front of crowd when they're not going to be asking the questions?

14. Gag me. I'm so sick of this, I hope Kerry absolutely slaughters him.
They don't call him a closer for nothing.

16. Will he EVER learn ??
He's trying snot-nose one liners and taunts in front of a cherry picked audience ! Of course they're going to like them !! Of course they're going to applaud !

But ... I'm willing to bet if he unleashes that bile on international television tomorrow night, he loses 3-5% in the post-debate polls.

The normal human does NOT like small minded schoolyard bully shit like that, especially from their 'leader'. What a stupid a&&hole !!
