You people sure are doing an awful lot of topic moving. Hehe.

Actually, this wouldn't turn into a debate. I just wanted to ask TC that question. As for the Kerry comment, I can't find it right now, but I believe Kerry's made similar remarks about other unimportant things. So it runs both ways.

I despise them both. Trigger-Happy Moron versus Scheming Liar. I'm actually quite glad I don't have the ability to vote in this election - I'd hate to be even remotely responsible for the election (or in W's case, reelection) of either of them.

Well, regardless of anyone's opinions of anyone, there's a very high expectance for lots of voters this year, and they're going to be very charged.

Personally, I really, really wish a third-party candidate had more of a purpose than to stand there like a stuffed doll and wave a flag saying 'See, we have three parties and we're cool because we're diverse!' while everyone steps on him to gather around two incompotent ninnies because of their positions on one or two major issues.

And it's really not like the third-party candidate is the worst of the lot. If you don't like the fact that Bush started a pointless war, or you don't like that Kerry is a waffler, then YOU DON'T HAVE TO PUT UP WITH EITHER OF THEM. You SHOULD like a whole politician, not just parts of him.

Oh, politics steam my broccoli.

Same here.

I think it's unfair that television stations have to equally broadcast arvertisements for the two main candidates, but they can forget about everybody else.

My family is Democratic by nature, but I refuse to take sides until a decent candidate comes along. And we haven't had many or any recently.

Gee, Bush, I'm glad to know that you know what issues are important. Everyone knows sports is the most crucial aspect of this election.

If you can't make the small decisions, then I sure as heck won't trust you to make the big ones.

Small decisions are good, but sports has nothing to do with Presidency.

But, you see, that's not the point. What it seems to me is what he was saying was not related to sports. He could have made the same point about what fruit John Kerry likes or what car he wants to drive. It all comes down to the same point which has VERY VERY much to do with the presidency.

Eh?

Are you saying Bush has the mental capacity to form metaphors and allude to things? Cause then those Bushisms would REALLY scare me.

The choice is obvious. Nader for President!

Here are some more Bushisms...

I'm a baseball fan, I want a scorecard.... And I actually got a chart. There's an 'X' right there.
-- Dubya explaining how he keeps the "players" straight in the War on Terrorism, and pointing out the 'X' placed on al-Qaida military chief Muhammad Atef's picture, who had just died in U.S. bombing raids, Feb. 3, 2002

That this man is our president is just too disturbing for words.

There's also Lynn Novick, a co-producer of Ken Burns' PBS series "Baseball," who had the rare treat of accompanying Bush to a Texas Rangers game in the summer of 1994, before he was elected governor. "He was a very gracious host," Novick says. "He was perfectly pleasant. Until he changed the subject."

Bush mentioned something about Yale University, from which he graduated in 1968. Novick graduated from Yale in 1983, so she brought it up, thinking it would be "like a bonding thing."

"When did you graduate?" Bush asked her, as she recalls. She told him. That's when Bush told her that Yale "went downhill since they admitted women."

"I said, 'Excuse me?'" Novick says. "I thought he was kidding. But he didn't seem to be kidding. I said, 'What do you mean?'"

Bush replied that "something had been lost" when women were fully admitted to Yale in 1969, that fraternities were big when he'd been there, providing a "great camaraderie for the men." But that went out the window when women were allowed in, Bush said.

"He said something like, 'Women changed the social dynamic for the worse,'" she says. "I was so stunned, shocked and insulted, I didn't know what to say."
