As someone else said, "he was for the lights, before he was against them". Bravo to whomever came up with that one!!

You said: This means that John F'n has not been able to limit his answers to less than two minutes in the practice debates.
It sure makes me think so too. I mean there was anger and threats! It really does sound like a desperation ploy because they KNOW those lights are going to be a big problem. Excellent!!
I thought Ketchup Boy was an experienced prosecutor. Any courtroom attorney who is distracted by the warning lights needs to find a new profession. I can recall arguing a case before NY's highest court when the light came on and I asked the chief judge if I could finish my answer to the question and he said, "No thank-you. Please sit down." I think that's what J F'n is trying to avoid.
Bright Lights! Bright Lights!
Where have we heard this before?

Let Kerry argue for ninety solid minutes tonight, why he should be able to talk as long as necessary to fully explain his highly nuanced intellectual complex ideas about the world and our country's role in it and about Iraq and the economy and of course the United Nations and his time as a sailor in Vietnam and his anti-war efforts then and now sort of and how Bush has lied about wmd and about the family vehicles and environmentalism and about health care and about how his family won't reveal his wifes' financial records and he won't reveal his Navy discharge.
Liberals call it "nuance" and sniff derisively at dolts who cannot comprehend it. But it is in the final analysis merely fluffy fecal frappe.
If a time is imposed on his meaningless ramblings, Kerry will get nervous and slip, perhaps accidentally actually reaching a conclusion about something. Kerry is too devious to be able to reach a bottom line honestly, so a halt midway through a dishonest convolution can end up anywhere. It might be interesting watching how chaos and randomicity generate new Kerry conclusions.
I wish, wish that Bush would call Kerry when Kerry ignores the rules the first time.
"Gee John, you agreed to the rules and now you are flip flopping on them".
We knew he couldn't live within fiscal budgetary constraints, now he's saying he can't meet time constraints either?
I guess with a time limit in place, he can't remind us that he was in Vietnam before every answer.
Hey! Can someone tell me what time the debate is??
I am up here in Canada and cannot locate the TV listings.
Thanks.
Kerry will try to get his own man to control the lights(sarcasm on)!
They want Kerry to ignore the lights and keep talking OVER Bush and monopolize the debate.
Why are the debate moderators all liberals?
"Democratic candidate John Kerry's campaign demanded Thursday that the lights signaling when a speaker's time has expired during debates with President Bush be removed from the lecterns because they are distracting....."
Duh... that's what they are supposed to do ....
I think they are worried that red and orange clash.
