Bush to "quit" debates if Kerry "looks better Thur night"......just say it
Edited on Wed Sep-29-04 05:48 PM by cthrumatrix
The whole debate schema is bullshit...32 pages of rules.

Look at where we are as a country. I don't want "gumdrop debate" on issues.

And now awol will "quit" if he looks like shit or has a tough question.

What other clues to we need as Ameircans...awol is just a fucking puppet....he dosn't run this country.

7. Jeff Greenfield remarked that shrub may cancel future debates
Edited on Wed Sep-29-04 05:56 PM by wishlist
It has been mentioned by talking heads like Jeff Greenfield that shrub may withdraw from future debates on the grounds that Kerry or the media has violated ground rules of this debate tomorrow (if Kerry or media does violate the rules. Kerry of course has not violated any rules so far)

Apparently, the ground rules have not been finalized for the future debates so it is possible to shrub to weasel his way out of future debates. DaddyBush has stated in a recent interview that candidates are entitled to be seen in the best possible light and that debates shouldn't be required.

12. I can't BELIEVE this prima donna asshole.
I heard on AA that the Bush camp demands the podiums be a certain number of feet apart so that the dimwit doesn't look like the dwarf he is next to Kerry. How on earth is it okay in anybody's book that this ridiculous piece of crap dictate the rules of a friggen debate because God forbid someone should happen to finally notice he's an incompetent twat.

And then the twat's father has the nerve to blurt out that debates shouldn't be REQUIRED?!? WHAT??!

Are we the people entitled to anything at all out of this nimrod? Is this ridiculous, pompous family so completely disrespectful of the democratic process and the American people that it actually thinks it doesn't need to show up for the job interview?

CHRIST!

Clearly I'm going to need to cut back on my sugar intake if I'm going to survive this election.

6. Here is a photo that is revealing--please take note of how the camera
Edited on Wed Sep-29-04 05:56 PM by Marianne
can influence the impression of one being larger than the other. The lecturn on the right in the photo, is the one Bush will occupy and the left is Kerry. Please note how the one on the right is larger due to the angle the photo was taken. Please note that Fox is the only one that will be photographing or recording this debate. Believe the professionals filming the debate very well know the advantage of the angle.

9. Forced perspective, just like LOTR. Can't have Chimpy being shown
up as the little (in all senses) "man" he really is.

11. Cool! The beads of sweat on Bush's giant head will be even clearer!
Hahahaa

"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."

- G. W. Bush (Source: The Whitehouse)

14. If that's the "front shot" and * is on the right
it's simply not fair. Not only will it make Bush appear taller, it'll make him appear more prominent. Note that the right podium is also lit brighter and closer to the flag/eagle display. There is no reason why the camera can't be centered. Hopefully this is just a random shot of the studio, otherwise I think we need to raise hell.

16. I am posting it as a possibility of how the camera can skew the perception
just for it's possibility. Since Fox news will be the one that will be the recorder via the camera. Watch for this.

10. Uhhhhh

My GOD, bush sounds like a little baby who is going to take his toys and his binky and GO HOME if Kerry doesn't play exactly the way HE wants him to.


Someone is scaaaaaaared.

15. But we knew
that already didn't we? With any luck, he'll throw a temper tamtrum on live TV so that everyone else will be forced to know it too. God, what a pathetic excuse for a "leader"....:puke:
