More fun with Freepers
Am I the ONLY One Who Noticed This at the Debates?
October 2, 2004 | Aim Higher
Posted on 10/02/2004 5:10:37 PM PDT by Aim Higher

The crowds in the auditorium had been quieted. Jim Lehrer had spent 15 minutes warning them: say one word, and you die.

Americans by the 10s of millions were glued to their television sets for the first in the long-awaited debates between George W. Bush, Leader of the Free World, and John Frankfurter Kerry, weenie from the People's Republic of Massachusetts. (pass the Heinz, please)

"Hush in the auditorium. The candidates are entering."

Or were they???????

One was, that's for sure. The Leader of the Free World. One George Walker Bush: President of the United States of America, and Commander-in-Chief of our Armed Forces. He walked onto stage at the proper time...

And he kept on walking...

In fact, the President had to walk nearly all the way across the stage before the newly coiffed, freshly manicured dog from Massachusetts decided he would finally deign to share the stage with "this lowlife...this man who didn't even win any fake medals in Vietnam, afterall."

Yes. President George W. Bush -- Leader of the Free World, and John Kerry's Commander-in-Chief -- was made to walk nearly the full width of that stage in order to meet the BIG dog. The ALPHA dog. And shake his paw.

Kerry may think his little ploy worked. He may think that by doing what he did he subconsiously planted a KERRY is ALPHA, Bush is Beta image in the subconscious minds of all America.

All he succeeded in doing for this blogger is proving yet again what a dirty dog he really is.

Was I the only one who noticed at the end that Terazza appeared drunk or high or sedated? She almost stumbled when she finally managed to get up un the riser.
John had to drag her by the hand like a man drags his sotted wife out of a bar. She was trying to go in four different directions.

That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.

I saw the delayed entrace but thought something else was taking place. Shalala had placed her screaming meemies in the balcony and then:
Another dirty trick I noticed: Kerry waited until Bush walked out onto the stage before he walked out, so the U. of Miami teeny-boppers in the balcony could erupt in screams when HE appeared. He did the same thing at the end: remained on the stage alone so the idiots could scream again. I have not seen this mentioned anywhere.

1. I didn't notice Kerry walking on stage after Shrubbie did
but I did notice that he and Teresa left after the Bush clan, and that he did get a noticeable cheer.

2. This is the opposite of what really happened
shrimpy-chimpy stood on his side of the stage and sort of petulantly waved his right arm in Kerry's direction. It was Kerry who walked across the stage, towered over Bush, shook his hand firmly, patted his back reassuringly, smiled at the cameras, and calmly walked back to the podium.

shrimpy-chimpy looked like he was going to melt down right then and there.

10. There are also a bunch of threads
about how Lehrer gave Kerry a wink and a nod after the debate, acknowledging their "deal" to give Kerry the questions ahead of time. And then there's the one by some fool about how Kerry held Bush's hand just a little too long when they shook hands in the beginning, thereby causing Bush to shift into awkward position and making his tie crooked, which sent a subliminal message to viewers. OMG, freepers are delusional.

4. "John Kerry's Commander-in-Chief"
Edited on Sat Oct-02-04 07:40 PM by Kanzeon
No. Like me, Kerry is a member of a group who are Bush's employers and he is our employee.

9. Oh the twist and spins. I saw * scurry across the stage, I saw the big dog
assure his presence, I heard the audience favoring Kerry and they would have no matter what, I saw Teresa move a mint into her cheek in order to be charming to Mrs. *, I saw Laura tremble and shake. I then saw Teresa return to say some pleasantry to a friend she sat next to but hey call it how you will.
I could talk about how I saw * and not have to lie about it. But what the hell do I know except people.

11. It JUST GETS BETTER
To: Aim Higher
Am I the ONLY One Who Noticed This at the Debates?
No. Michael Savage also noticed it
and commented on it at great length
on his radio program Friday.

He compared it to the opening encounter of two Sumo wrestlers.

Kerry won the ecounter, showed his dominance and thus won the match.

Absolutely noticed this too. It's like at a college football game, when the teams have a little battle to come on the field at just the right moment. Visiting team trying to minimize drama of home team entrance and minimize boos. Home team trying to maximize drama of it's own entrance and have the away team intimidated by boos. In this debate, held at a college and packed with students, Kerry was home and Bush was away. Kerry definitely timed his entrance to allow the polite applause to rachet up when he hit the stage, letting Bush know he was in hostile territory.
For once I'd like to see one of these debates held at, let's say, a Christian College, or maybe under a tent in a Walmart parking lot. And have the moderator be someone like James Dobson or Ollie North. Give the rats a taste of their own medicine. I don't know how it is we always agree to accept liberal venues and liberal moderators.

12. I have it taped, just replayed the start. Bush walks out fairly fast and
appears from behind the curtain slightly less than 2 seconds before Kerry comes in sight. He's walking at a brisk pace as well and they meet within a foot of stage center. Probably JK was a couple of steps
further from the edge of the curtain than Chimp was. How is this significant? What bullshit. Oh, and the handshake nonsense is just that, nonsense. (just replayed it again) It was no different from 99.99999% of handshakes ever done. :grr:
