It’s Missouri with an I not with an A. Grr, one of my biggest pet peeves…oh well, now I know for sure who I’m voting for. ---

> [@The world's most deadliest...](#): > > We’ve got thirty countries in Iraq, but he always mentions the three same world leaders over and over again. Hm. > > Oh, and Poland’s made a repeat appearance. _Bush_ won’t forget about Poland. He likes their sausages. Re: Canadian drugs. He said we have to test them to make sure they won’t kill you. Is he inferring that Canadians don’t test their drugs? Some little old lady saved $1.50 on $10 worth of drugs with the Medicare drug card! Whoopie … but what about those people whose drugs cost hundreds of dollars? ---

Kerry is showing NO MERCY tonight! Hehehe… Maybe Bush just doesn’t want us to end up with a bunch of “Mexican Fat Burners?” 😛 “But Clinton did it!” How old are you, George? ---

Jayjay, Kerry used your point. Good Call. Bush responds by pinning the drugs to Canada and asking to see Kerrys accomplishments in congress. Fun stuff. ---

On the Medicare: Kerry might as well have said: “1 0wnz0rZ u, bi17cH!!!11” Because that’s what it just translated to. ---

> [@gobear](#): > > I think they’re too busy cowering in the fetal position, beating their heads against the floor in denial. Sheesh, I know it’s petty of me, but comments like this (and similar fanatic comment from **Reeder** , and from **Diogenes** and others) that no one with two brain cells could vote for Bush make me significantly less likely to vote for Kerry. It’s a scary, almost religious obsession that I don’t want to be associated with. ---

> [@Althea](#): > > “It might come from a third world.” > > Sweet. I didn’t know there was even a second one, much less a third. Does Spaceshipone go there? Well, there could be the possibility of picking up crap from an internet(s?) website or through a spam. Though I think that anyone who bought drugs because of spam gets whatever is coming to them. So, I would say that there is a potential safety issue. But probably not much of one. And frankly, I would think that people would get what’s coming to em if they did do that (spam or website with a registrant outside the US/Canada, though the latter still wouldn’t prove anything.) ---

Kerry got the internet references right, too. Got the URL right, and remembered “internet” isn’t plural. If the Bush/Cheney team wanted to come off as Ol’ Fogey, they’re doing a great job.
