The debate

Post #178,553 by rcareaga 10/8/04 10:23:32 PM Reply	The debate Oh, my god! Bush just now came out unequivocally against...slavery! Well done, Georgie! Cthulhu for President. Why vote for a lesser evil?

Post #178,565 by Nightowl 10/8/04 11:47:13 PM Reply	That cracked me up! And Bush kept repeating himself, with the same things he had said at the first debate. And did you see how he jumped up and interrupted the moderator and yelled and got angry? Wow!

Of course, he could have easily mentioned another nearly as bad case that was far more current, the one that put him in office. I havn't seen the entire debate yet, I had to record part of it and go out with my family for dinner. But my perception from the parts I have seen so far is that Bush did better, but Kerry still had a slight edge. Jay

Post #178,591 by Ashton 10/9/04 4:35:40 AM Reply	Some post- death-of-irony irony (from a postprandial discussion of the code words n'such) There are so Many, but one shall have to suffice.. must save material for '05 and '06 and on. Prez: We can't expose Muricans to the risk of importing from Canada :-0 ... those [Made-in-USA] foreign drugs !! Chiron: upset.. after outsourcing 1/2 of US production to a UK firm, ie. some o'them foreign drugs ..whose QC standards appear to be somewhat Tighter than those of the [Made-in-USA] group. Gosh {sniff} now their stock price is _{changing too :(} I think they need a tax break - soon. In \ufffd Sterling? or [whatever works in Caymans] I'm sure it's all for the children. Nothing to do with Pharmchem + Admin miscegenation. Really.
Post #178,609 by Arkadiy 10/9/04 12:33:59 PM Reply	I was quite happy when Kerry brough up the reason for Canadian drugs being cheaper: the Govt there buys in bulk, driving the prices down. Finally, some sanity returns to our innane discourse. Before now it was: let's buy our own drugs from others - it's cheaper that way. -- ... a reference to Presidente Arbusto. -- [link\|http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/001417.html\|Geoffrey K.

Post #178,634 by tuberculosis 10/9/04 4:45:00 PM Reply	Bush shouting down the moderator was eerily reminiscent of his response towards the UN and world community when he was focused on getting an invasion going. Struck me as inconsiderate and pushy - the way he always does. Also seemed petulant when called on the carpet for his rush to war. That was lovely cheese. --Wallace, The Wrong Trousers
Post #178,723 by admin 10/10/04 10:19:43 PM Reply	Yeah, he wanted to jump on Kerry And the moderator wasn't having any of it. He stole Bush's indignant retort initiative. Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."

Post #178,706 by scoenye 10/10/04 5:00:00 PM Reply	Growing pot is the newest terrorist act? The one example given for the PATRIOT act's need is a drug bust in upper NY. Or has the scope been expanded when no-one was watching?
Post #178,709 by daemon 10/10/04 5:46:11 PM Reply	Re: Growing pot is the newest terrorist act? what drug bust in upper NY? He was refering to the paintball arab militia whose case is currently being tossed over prosecutorial misconduct. Wonder why that isnt being publicised. regards, damon

Post #178,784 by scoenye 10/11/04 2:20:17 PM Reply	I thought I heard him say "marihuana". Oops then!
Post #178,758 by ben_tilly 10/11/04 11:16:31 AM Reply	Conversely, the War on Drugs is justification for PATRIOT In the debate Bush pointed out, correctly, that the techniques being used against terrorists are all techniques used in the war on drugs. He conveniently omitted the fact that many object to those techniques as an abuse of the Constitution. Cheers, Ben I have come to believe that idealism without discipline is a quick road to disaster, while discipline without idealism is pointless. -- Aaron Ward (my brother)
Post #178,779 by tuberculosis 10/11/04 1:49:25 PM Reply	We need to cut terrorist funding by legalizing domestic drug production. That $ will then go towards consumption of US produced luxury goods and that's good for America. That was lovely cheese. --Wallace, The Wrong Trousers
