"No props, notes . . . or other tangible things may be brought into the debate."

This seems to be the latest conspiracy theory among the Republicans... yes, I said Republican and conspiracy theory in the same sentence.

The idea is that Kerry cheated with a mysterious black pen and a folded piece of paper. Maybe that's why Bush was so pissed off? Regardless, Kerry did violate Section 5, pages 4-5 of the binding "Memorandum of Understanding"...

What do you think?

Clear violation -or- lame attempt because Bush lost?

Thanks, Salty. I did not know that i-club had an "ignore" feature. Much appreciated.

So what you are saying is that I am the excuse for you to ignore that Kerry is a cheat? You are pathetic.

God you should change your name to HellaRETARDED M****** F******. Just read the articles before you post crap. He had a pen. If that was against the debate rules then the debate rules are stupid. Don't you think someone watching from the set somewhere would have said something during a commercial if it was that big a friggin deal? Don't you think Bush staffers that were RIGHT THERE would have said something to the moderator? The headline should read like this:

"Republicans get their *** handed to them at debate and start looking for excuses, any excuses as to why"

The funny part is that if you read the rules, Kerry was allowed to have a pen and paper...he was just supposed to give it to the staff people at the debate so they could put it on the podium for him. A half-infraction of an idiotic rule, I'd say that's a "lame attempt because Bush lost".

This conspiracy theory is just as lame as any other conspiracy theory i've seen but that doesn't mean stupid rule = a rule not broken that Kerry specifically agreed on, right?

See MVWRX's Post above....But I see your point. So Bush most likely had someone put his pen and paper on the podium for him and Kerry prolly forgot and brought it out for himself. OOPS...I'm sure if it was as big a deal as Drudge made it out to be then someone that was at the debate would have said something. As it is you just have some people with too much time on their hands that are over-analyzing the situation to find anything to discredit the fact that Kerry whooped bush big time.

Man are you a 5 year old or what? There needs to be a lower age limit on this forum.

"The rules are just plain stupid...stupid..stupid!"

I think Bush got a good lickin', but that's beside the point.

Wow your stupidity amazes me. Let me give you a hint. When trying to make this kind of point you need to really think about what you are typing. You try to cut me down with the 5 year old comment and then you continue by saying there needs to be a lower age limit on this forum. You make a ton of sense.

And just so you know...Having a pen and paper was not against the rules. It is funny to me how the bush backers need to make something that obviously means nothing into this huge deal. Again try to comprehend this:

Also HellaDumbass I gave you another chance to read what I said in this later post:

As much as you would like to think that Kerry cheated the simple truth is he is the smarter, better spoken candidate and Bush really had no chance to beat him in that debate.

I'm just trying to be inclusive to those who share your intellectual capacity, such as 5 year olds, goats, and sheep. Thanks for trying, though....really.

The Bush team wanted this debate to be Bush's SHINING momment out of all three debates. And also be the one that pushed Kerry out of the running. Poor bastards, they are only making themselves look bad by bring these type of things up.

Oh and HellaDumb is not worth the time of day. Poor guy, is a mental midget. Don't even see why he bothers posting. Eventually even the other Republicans will get tired of his stupidty. No one wants to be associated with the retard right.

So, if 65% of the U.S. population truly agree with most of my positions, however repugnant to you, who is the mental midget? You are either being flippant or truly have a warped mental state.

Why do you suppose liberalism is seen as a mental disorder? Imagine that!
