Don't take what the person in charge of deploying our troops, and signing legislation into law is saying seriously? Are you 12? (I'm sorry if I've just insulted any 12 year olds out there)

Well, Mostly, don't take ME seriously. I am a Bush supporter, but I'm not trying to convince anyone here. Why bother? You all are obviously so much more informed than I am and have already made up your minds.
So therefore, if my sense of irreverance offends you, please don't let it. It's not worth it, seriously.
And yeah... why get all stressed out about all of this? Do your best to convince as many voters as you can to vote for your candidate and vote for him yourself come election day. But don't have a stroke.
And no, I'm not 12. But if I were, does it matter how old I am?

I noticed that, McSquicky. I got to do do more research about that... Currently I have a whole stack of political books to read.

Excellent approach to communication.
And I suppose the only thing that matters about your age is if you are over 18 or not. I assure you, hatrack has had some brilliant people younger than that.

John Kerry's Red Bull looks like it's wearing off. His energy level is dropping and his message is getting boring.
George Bush has finally stopped whining and ranting. He's looking a lot more steady.
Oh oh, George Bush just used the 900,000 small business argument...Dick Cheney told the whole world about FactCheck.org. We know that's not right.
edit: The writing something down in the background while the other guy is talking is kinda pissing me off. I get it. You don't want to let people seee your facial expressions, but this writing crap is just insulting my intelligence.

Did I hear Bush correctly? Did he call Kerry, Kennedy, when he was talking about the most liberal senator in Congress?
That was probably not a smart thing to do on Bush's part. Throwing around the 'liberal' label is like to piss people off who might otherwise vote for him as a 'Compassionate Conservative'.

Thank you. I was actually sincere about that. I read a lot on politics, but I don't make it a subject of study. I've been too busy partly, and the other part, I've studied the subject as much as I care to. The fact that most politically-minded hatrackers know more than me is just that--a FACT. Republicans, Democrats, and Independants. I know enough to be satisfied with my decision.
But please, you're attacking me because I made a joke about Kerry loving and wanting to marry the U.N. And then I LAUGHED and said that was my CHILDISH reply. So, I am the one who said my reply was childish in the first place. If you had been paying attention, you'd know that I have been joking around here. And my advice to you is: Lighten up. Take this as seriously as you want, but don't get all upset if people like me are making light jokes.

And you're also failing to appreciate my sense of sarcasm, but that's ok.
Are you old enough to vote.
And Kerry is doing something I hate. Using an individual's pain to try to create motivation. Stick with figures, dude.

I'm posting because my husband and I are watching the debate, and sometimes I feel like making comments.
I may sound flippant... I may act like I'm flippant... I may SAY I'm flippant... but I care about this. I hate what Kerry stands for. He offends me. I post for the same reason the Bush-hater posts, I suppose...but I try to censor what I say. Perhaps I am relying on ....flippancy too much.. or my poor brand of humor.

John Kerry isn't displaying enough emotion for the embryonic stem-cell research question. It could be a winner, but he's too wooden and his delivery is too faltering. I don't feel he really cares about the people he's talking about. For a moral issue like this, especially one where President Bush is strong, you need to tweak the emotions.
Oddly enough, I don't think George Bush is coming across with enough emotion. He wasn't strong there either.

He doesn't want to deny a poor person something that the constitution allows them to have? Does that mean that he's going to raise taxes to buy poor people Playstations and Rolexes?

I hate those questions... like in an interview.. "What is your biggest weakness?" Not that I don't think it's a valid question... I just don't like it.
Things I hate about Kerry?
His actions after Vietnam. His position on the U.N. and the U.S.
Those are the two BIG ones.
The fact that I agree more with republicans than democrats on most issues is part of it, too, of course.
and how can you loathe a man for serving his country only to come back and regret things he'd done and participated in?
