Ok, I think I have the time to post on the debate now.
Here is a transcript of the debate
BUSH: We proposed and passed a healthy forest bill, which was essential to working with — particularly in western states — to make sure that our forests were protected. What happens in those forests, because of lousy federal policy, is they grow to be — they are not — they’re not harvested, they’re not taken care of. And as a result, they’re like tinderboxes. And over the last summers, I’ve flown over there. And so this is a reasonable policy, to protect old stands of trees and at the same time, make sure our forests aren’t vulnerable to the forest fires that have destroyed acres after acres in the West. We got a good, common-sense policy.
Let’s ignore for a second that he stumbled through the entire environmental question and sounded confused by the concept, but this section just made me laugh. First, the forests SHOULD be left alone, who are you kidding?!? God designed forests to be self supporting, if you go and mess with that, you are going to destroy the forest. Second, it is utter deceit to hide his support of logging and destruction of forest land to drill for oil under the guise of “supporting” environmental issues. Completely disgraceful and dishonest.
KERRY: If they just left the Clean Air Act all alone the way it is today, no change, the air would be cleaner than it is if you passed the Cleaner Skies Act. …. They’re going backwards on the definition for wetlands. They’re going backwards on the water quality. They’ve pulled out of the Global Warming, declared it dead, didn’t even accept the science. I’m going to be a president who believes in science.
Hmmm, doesn’t Florida have a lot of wetlands? I have a sneaking suspicion that changing the definition of wetlands has a lot more to do with economics than concern for the environment.
KERRY: Kyoto Treaty was flawed…this president didn’t try to fix it, he just declared it dead… And we walked away from the work of 160 nations over 10 years. You wonder, Nicky (sp), why it is that people don’t like us in some parts of the world. You just say, Hey, we don’t agree with you, good-bye.
This is a fundamental flaw of Bush. He is incapable of seeing the big picture and throws his little tantrums when he doesn’t get his way. To walk away from something people have spent that much work on is just petulant and demonstrates his inability to act like a mature, functioning individual. This is the same quality that got us into this ill-planned war.
BUSH: I own a timber company? (Laughter.) That’s news to me! (Laughs; laughter.) Need some wood? (Laughter.)
Dude, I think those coke and booze binges killed a few brain cells. Have you actually read your tax returns?
BUSH: … the National Journal named Senator Kennedy (sic) the most liberal senator of all…
Who? lol. If you are going to use the “liberal, liberal, liberal” line of attack, maybe you should pay a bit more attention so you don’t sound like a dolt.
BUSH: I would pick somebody [for a Supreme Court Justice] who would not allow their personal opinion to get in the way of the law.
Then he goes on to site examples which show that he wants them to have *his* view of interpretation of the law as if that is the only way to interpret it. He wants somebody who thinks the pledge should be mandatory including the “under God” phrase. Oh, then he mentions the Dred Scott Case. lol. That might be his undoing if people understand what the case was about. It was NOT about property rights. It was about a pro-slavery judge ruling that a black person could not sue. Being black, he did not qualify as a citizen, therefore he did not have the right to sue. I am thinking that was a monumentally bad example to give for the kind of judges you support. What on earth was he thinking?!?
BUSH: Trying to decipher that. (Light laughter.) [Kerry's stand on abortion]
Should he have used smaller words?…spoken more slowly?…are you really that dumb? How could you NOT understand what he was saying. It is one thing to disagree, but you can’t even understand what the hell he was saying? Geez. Why can people on the right not understand the concept of being against abortion, but for personal choice. WHY! I am anti-abortion. I don’t think abortion is right, but I don’t think my morals should be forced on the population as a whole any more than I think that I should be forced to wear a head covering since I am a woman because a portion of the population morals demand that. Kerry did an impressive job of explaining it. Too bad you were to boneheaded and narrow minded to hear it.
Q: …Please give three instances in which you came to realize you had made a wrong decision, and what you did to correct it.
Talk about dodging a question. lol. My gosh, he must have worn holes in his shoes dancing so hard. It was entertaining to see him stumble around for a while talking about how great his decision making ability was. *cough* He finally decided that his only mistake was in his appointments. In other words, *he* didn’t make a mistake, somebody else did. Bart Simpson would have been proud. lol. It was really sad and pathetic. Every appointment that he has fired hasn’t actually made a bad decision, they have just pointed out bad decisions made by President Petulant. Bush values loyalty over all else, including common sense.
I am getting tired, so I will just close for now with the most entertaining part of the debate…when Bush went nuts. lol. He just lost it, lost all decorum and threw a little temper tantrum. He kept interrupting and wasn’t listening at all. The moderator was trying to ask about the backdoor draft, but Bushy wouldn’t have it…he wanted to say for the millionth time “what about Poland” God forbid he actually answer a question. No wonder nobody takes him seriously on the international scale, he can’t even control himself at a debate. lol.
He keeps treating the moderators like crap…no respect what-so-ever for the protocol of a debate.
Our president might be a psycho, but he didn’t forget Poland.
