[Champion Jack]

6. Sure , ask him about Victor Ashe

[Neshanic]

3. Good Kerry...good answer, a human answer.

[spooky3]

7. unfortunately the CNNfn undecided goofballs didn't like it as much as *

[sonicx]

4. the cheney's daughter thing was great

[displacedtexan]

5. JK: We're all God's children.

Blink

[kitkatrose]

8. Let the abortion crap begin.

:eyes:

[apnu]

9. catholic abortion up now.

[ReadTomPaine]

10. Stem cells have gotten quite a bit of discussion this election.

[da_chimperor]

11. Yup, a nice Catholic guy that believes in woman's rights . . .

and stem cell research. I love this guy, really.

[noamnety]

12. kerry is awesome

can we set up a paypal account and get bush a bib and possibly a set of upper teeth?

[Dudley_DUright]

13. Good answer on choice

according to Nell. :-)

[Fenris]

14. WEDGE ISSUE BONANZA! YEEEE HAW!

[RoyGBiv]

15. Whoever coaches Shrub ...

Is an idiot. Either that, or Shrub just can't learn.

He's obviously been hammered on his facial expressions, but now he's gone to far in the opposite direction. He looks heavily medicated.

[Jawja]

Yes, he is

looking goofy in the wrong places.

[Habibi]

66. He looks

two-faced. His face matches that graphic exactly.

[CityHall]

16. Good questions

Not the usual BS. They learned from the Town Hall to ask more interesting questions.

[TexasLady]

17. women doctor and God

good darlin, good...

NOT a Catholic president...oh i love this man

[rocktivity]

18. GREAT! He's got the wedge issues behind him

It's all downhill from here, Georgie!

[displacedtexan]

George W. is quietly addressing the abortion issue.

Says JK is out of the mainstream (of the repuke congress, that is).

Maternity group homes.

Baby sellers!

[jmowreader]

He didn't say baby sellers, did he?

It wouldn't surprise me if he did, though...

[bloodyjack]

19. Marriage is sacred, marriage is an important institution, therefore

marriage should be between a man and a woman

How does this make sense

At least Kerry's response is a humane one

[IndianaGreen]

75. Marriage is a contract, not a sacrament, and not an institution

the role of the state is to issue a marriage license to couples that want to marry, period. A truly equal society will issue a marriage license to same sex couples, as many European nations are now doing.

America is the only country marching backwards towards the Dark Ages!

[Catt03]

20. Choice

Defend Rove v wade

Church and politics.......tell them about the constitution John

[faithnotgreed]

65. did you really mean ROVE v wade? i dont even want to think about that!

just teasing.....

[G_j]

21. they are "who God made them"

thank you John!

[realFedUp]

22. Respect the views of other Catholics but...

Kerry won't allow someone to come in
and change Roe v. Wade.
Brings up JFK...Kerry brings up a great
quote from Bible...deeds count.

[autorank]

23. President Goofey!

[annabanana]

24. faith without works is death yeah

[bo44]

59. brought a tear to the that comment

[ellie]

"I can't legislate

faith." Kerry just brought up Kennedy and is quoting the Bible. Woo Hoo!

[kohodog]

25. Shrub is trying so hard not to Smirk

But he's still out of control. Blink blink blink.

[hannad]

35. But his eyes.... ShIfTy

[cindyw]

26. I love that Kerry invoked God when talking about homosexuality.

[TrogL]

27. Kerry opened up "faith vs works"

HEEEEEEEEEEEe WAKK!!!

[Andrushka]

28. Kerry is doing excellent

on this question (choice, faith). Absolutely brilliant.

[kitkatrose]

29. Yes!!! You can't legislate your faith,

you show it by your works, not by being a public ass about it.

[onager]

57. Out of the mainstream...

Yawn.

Yeah, you'll reduce the number of abortions by banning them.

[Minimus]

30. wow kerry quoting the bible AWESOME

[da_chimperor]

He was born for this. He's powerful, compassionate, resolute, eloquent, and thoughtful. Absolutely perfect.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

31. Kerry quotes Bible...Bush is screwed he doesn't know shit about the Bible

[ocean girl]

The meme from Bushco.

[gauguin57]

70. Culture of life! Here's an article on how Bush hides behind that!

http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A24634-2004Sep15?language=printer

snip:

"...But Bush had not actually said that abortion is tantamount to murder. Nor, according to aides, has he ever said that all abortions should be illegal. When asked by reporters during the 2000 presidential campaign and again last fall whether abortion should be banned, Bush said the nation was not ready for that step, without indicating his position.

"George W. Bush is among the most openly religious presidents in U.S. history. A daily Bible reader, he often talks about how Jesus changed his heart. He has spoken, publicly and privately, of hearing God's call to run for the presidency and of praying for God's help since he came into office.

"But despite the centrality of Bush's faith to his presidency, he has revealed only the barest outline of his beliefs, leaving others to sift through the clues and make assumptions about where he stands. Bush has said many times that he is a Christian, believes in the power of prayer and considers himself a "lowly sinner." But White House aides said they do not know whether the president believes that: the Bible is without error; the theory of evolution is true; homosexuality is a sinful choice; only Christians will go to heaven; support for Israel is a biblical imperative; or the war in Iraq is part of God's plan.

Some political analysts think there is a shrewd calculation behind these ambiguities. By using such phrases as the "culture of life," Bush signals to evangelical Protestants and conservative Catholics that he is with them, while he avoids taking explicit stands that might alienate other voters or alarm foreign leaders. Bush and his chief speechwriter, Michael J. Gerson, are "very gifted at crafting references that religious insiders will understand and outsiders may not," said the Rev. Jim Wallis ...

[apnu]

71. Bush has notes!

he's looking down and reading!

[spooky3]

72. I like Bob Schieffer's not being intimidated at all.

[crickets]

73. You want fewer abortions, *?

Then provide sex education and fund family planning clinics. Tool.

[misterphelps]

74. That was a fucked up cackle

[LizW]

My son said, "Oh, god, he laughed....

make him stop."

[Jade Fox]

94. Verrrrrryyyyyy strange. What a looney.

[noamnety]

76. bush is screwing up on abortion

making laws to reduce abortion ... group homes for pregnant woman, wtf?

how's the women-meter on that one?

[Robert Oak]

77. heheheheheh sure hope it's not the administration

[Gregorian]

Gawd, that was SICK.

[acmavm]

79. Abortion is going to hurt this nutcase. Kerry saying he will support a

woman's right, bush trying to say he'd ban abortion without being honest enough to come out and say it.

Maternity group homes? What the fuck is that. Where some poor kid gives birth to a baby they can't support and really doesn't want?

Health care costs have gone out 36% and now it's the consumer's fault. Fuck this guy.

[delete_bush]

80. Heh Heh Heh Heh Heh Heh Heh

his Beavis/Butthead moment

[annabanana]

82. yeah..how the hell should HE know if it's the administration?

[Jo March]

83. "I sure hope it's not the Administration" - WTF??

Is he high on crack? WTF is he on???

[da_chimperor]

84. It's official: chimpy has a creepy laugh

That's the second time I've noticed it.

[ClintonTyree]

85. Is EVERYTHING FUNNY to this asshole?

Grinning, village idiot!

[swag]

87. Kerry's framing of public life in terms of faith and expansive

Beautiful rhetoric, (though I don't agree with it, but can maybe shift it to terms of my own godless framework).

Bush was chumped, having been left with the trivial and spiteful Roveian dialectic.

[TexasLady]

88. the smirk just guffawed

and I just lost my dinner...

[givemebackmycountry]

89. You got to hand it to Schieffer -

He's up there throwing fastballs.

No lob pitches here.

He's throwing heat.

I like this guy.

[tilsammans]

90. Eeeeuuuuwwww . . .

WHAT a creepy laugh.
(Is it Halloween already?)

[Neshanic]

91. I have no health care because I am not involved? FUCKHEAD.

[Rainbowreflect]

bush is laughing at peoples misfortune again.

What an evil ass.

[LiberalFighter]

92. This guy is a looney

geesh... gw* is NOT repeat NOT funny

His so called laugh is irritating to the point that I am surprise that he hasn't been slapped for it.

[spooky3]

97. Kerry needs to NAIL him on that lie about lawsuits

they are less than 1% of medical costs

[apnu]

95. wow! bush blew it on health care in the first sentance

after the smirking

[marigold20]

96. Ick - that Beavis & Butthead laugh is just so creepy!

I didn't hear a lot of laughing from the audience.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

98. Oooh, so Bush is for technology now?

[H3Dakota]

99. now he's stuttering...

huh??? buggy???
