> [@TheVincent](#): > > “I’m happy that some people pray for me…” > > That they do, Bush. That they do. Wonder if he’d feel that way knowing some people were praying that he’d be hit by a bus? :eek: And ya know, as much as a Kerry supporter as I am, I’m about to the point that I wish it was already done and we could get used to whichever talking head was going to be the token and divide up lines from there. P.S. To **Harborwolf** … “Opt out of the drinking game”!!! Are you insane? Alcohol is the only thing making the 2004 elections palatable. Hehehehehe for all of us. ---

“stand up straight and stop scowling” OK, Bush made fun of himself pretty well there. ---

Bush is disappointed how partisan things are in Washington?!?! This from the man who hired dirty trickster Karl Rove? Call the people at Merriam Webster: we have new definition for “hypocrisy.” ---

“we each married up.” ZING to Bush. You actually saw knives shoot from Georges eyes. ---

I’m really disappointed that the least question was such a softball. Is Kerry saying “idear?” ---

> [@chula](#): > > Bush is trying to convince us that the United States was as divided in 2000 as it is now. No one’s buying that. Hmmm, I don’t really see the difference. Then again, I’m still not really sure there’s any difference between Bush and Kerry. At least, nothing that they claim that will actually happen. ---
