> [@Dignan](#): > > “My time up yet?” (read: I have to keep talking? Oh no.) > Kerry said “fuzzy math” … now that is taking me back to '00. Well, that’s a good 4 years after his “Read my lips, no new taxes” impression. ---

Bush: “You looked at me like my clock was up.” Yeah, I think it just might be Mr. President… 😃 ---

“It’s not credible, it’s just not credible.” Kind of like that imminent threat in Iraq. ---

Bush is going to increase the wetlands by **THREE MILLION**. Three million of what I am not sure, but it sounds good. ---

> [@Lightnin'](#): > > Screw Kerry. Screw Bush (uh, you know what I mean). > > I’m votin’ for the moderator. 😃 Personally, I’m still thinking Libertarian. (I wonder how many other people would describe themselves as a somewhat-still undecided voter and their current leaning is towards a third party.) ---

I see, in order to save the forest, we must destroy it. Bush proposed the Hydrogen car, and Gore invented the internet. ---

The problem with forests is that they’re not “harvested?” That’s a relief, for a while there I thought Bush didn’t give a shit about the environment. ---

> [@Random](#): > > Yup, I want to be in your party. You’ll vote for whichever party has the supporters that say the nicest things? Or seem the most rational and polite? No wonder our country is so fucked. > [@Random](#): > > You just have no clue how to convince someone who doesn’t share your simplistic, fanatic views. A candidate (and his supporters) have to do more than say “I’m not the other guy! He’s evil! I’ve got a plan!” Tell\*\* us what you’d do differently. Don’t repetitively chant the same, content-free refrain about the nastiness and stupidity of people who aren’t in lockstep with your religion. Okay. One more time then I’m dropping it. Does what I say on this board tonight really influence you in any way whatsoever on how you will vote? Do you care what I think about you? Will you vote for Bush just to “show” me? If so, then you are pathetic. If not, drop it and vote on the issues.
