Hell of a question to pin Bush on. Kerry brings up Cheneys daughter. Slick move. Anywho, this question is bad for Bush. All he can do is appeal to his base while Kerry gets the free grab for undecideds. ---

Ohh no, Cheney’s daughter. Low, Kerry, don’t drag her into this. She can speak for herself, I’m sure every media outlet would love her to speak out if she wanted to. 😕 ---

Kudos to Kerry for saying it’s not a choice and not being a weasel like Bush was. ---

Lighten up dude – Bush didn’t lie. _Only liberals can lie._ When Bush asserts something that contradicts the facts, he’s ‘showing strong leadership’ ‘in the face of strong opposition’. And probably fighting terrorism, or something. (I could _really_ use a smilie for ‘smirk’ here). > [@Diogenes the Cynic](#): > > He lied! He totally fucking lied! He DID say he didn’t give a shit about OBL! He totally did! > > I hope he gets busted by the talking heads for that. ---

What rules did Bush break? Great, abortion and the Catholic Church. There’s a GQ thread on this. ---

Kerry gave a rather eloquent, sensitive dissertation concerning homosexuality. Know what that means ?? He just lost any votes he might have had from Redneck Falls, Mississippi !!! ---

Good answer by Kerry, except the bit with Cheney’s daughter. Not nice to use her like this. ---

If Bush is on drugs, he may crash before the debate is over. Unless presidents have access to super-kind time-release 3rd world Valium. It’s a little tacky to throw Cheney’s daughter in there again. ---

Kerry admitted to being an alter boy. Bet the right-wing talk show hosts will have fun with that tomorrow … “That’s probably why he wants the fags to marry … he he he.” ---
