XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX SUN OCT 03, 2004 14:05:38 ET XXXXX
DEBATE MYSTERY: DID KERRY HAVE CHEAT SHEET?
Section 5, pages 4-5 of the binding "Memorandum of Understanding" that was negotiated and agreed upon by both political campaigns states:
"No props, notes, charts, diagrams, or other writings or other tangible things may be brought into the debate by either candidate.... Each candidate must submit to the staff of the Commission prior to the debate all such paper and any pens or pencils with which a candidate may wish to take notes during the debate, and the staff or commission will place such paper, pens and pencils on the podium..."
So what did Dem presidential contender John Kerry take out of his jacket as he approached the stage [with his back to the auditorium's audience]?
What did Kerry place on the podium?
Video replays of the Kerry maneuver played all weekend long on the internet.
[A tight zoom of the Boston.Com feed shows Kerry pulling a mysterious "card" from his jacket. 14 seconds into video, after commerical]
A top Kerry campaign source explained to the DRUDGE REPORT late Sunday how Bush supporters were once again trying to distract.
"Kerry did not cheat," said the Kerry insider. "This is more lies from Republicans, who are hoping for a quick change of subject away from the president's performance, and the new polls."
Developing...
Lehrer did try to put Kerry on the spot with the "specify what you would do" questions. A common criticism of Kerry is he gives no specifics, even says he won't reveal his plans until after the election.
Kerry masterfully sidestepped the specifics. Story of his fantasy-driven life.
I mean many think Bush won because Gore sighed during that debate. I mean that is the level of sophistication the majority of the electorate inhabit.
Is that picture in #739 before botox and the caps on his teeth? Looks as if it is.
Exactly. And Sandy Berger just spoke for Kerry a few weeks ago, but nobody in the media bothered to ask him about him stuffing documents in his pants.
That's why I think it's laughable that some people on this thread assume Kerry couldn't have cheated, because he'd have too much to lose. You would think smuggling out classified documents from the National Archives would cause somebody to be permanently disgraced. But Berger is still speaking for Kerry!
You know what Kerry would have said if he had gotten caught red-handed? He would have used the Sandy Berger "sloppy" defense and say he forgot he couldn't bring in notes. And he would question the timing of the charge, and say we need to get back to the real issues. And that would have been the end of the story.
Thanks.
This guy practiced this, I note he is looking up and smiling as he is being introduced.
You're still missing the point. Whether Bush failed to say something then (if you assume he saw) or if he doesn't want to make a point of it doesn't matter.
This FRAUD wants to be our president and we have a say as to what WE WANT TO MAKE AN ISSUE. As with the Swiftvets & Kerry's military record and with Dan Rather's & the democrat supplied forged TANG documents, Bush and company can decide not to challenge. But that doesn't mean we have to fall in line and keep quit. After all if we wanted to be mindless party hacks waiting for the party line, we would be democrats.
Whatever you point is - the number of posts on this thread is about to pass 1,000 (while over 30,000 have viewed it). So I'd say your objections aren't doing much good. But, if you're intentions are honest, keep following this issue and you may get the real point eventually.
psst - can you take it outside?
:0)
point taken. but it is unnerving to run into the same running argument every 30 posts...
Sure. And if you were interviewing job applicants and you found found out one of them acted dishonestly to gain an advantage over the others, you'd think that was a non-issue too, right?
The election will decide who is leader of the Free World...
...whose finger will be on the nuclear button...
...who will decide how we handle securing the homeland and eliminating the Islamofascists...
...who will hold the lives of my nephew, my buddies, and many Freepers in his hands by serving as their commander-in-chief...
...who will be the chief law enforcement officer of our nation...
...who will appoint three or four Supremes who can either steal our liberty or protect it.
Yeah, cheating in order to get such a nitnoy minimum wage job is really no big deal at all.
Which would have WHAT on it that he really needed or couldnt memorize <--- GOOD QUESTION!!!...LETS ASK HIM!... U aint so dumb after all!
I was watching my own cap of the debates, and watched the beginning when Kerry pulled something out of his pocket... the camera angle on my recording indicated a pen.
Do you think that if Bush was caught taking notes out, the RATs would ignore publicizing it, because Kerry "won" the debate? I don't think so.
"Thank you. Can you look at the end of the debate and see if Kerry pulled a device out of his ear?"
Kerry is trying to pull an election out of his a$$.
Would they wait 4-5 days later to bring it out? Or would the 'RATS' strike when the striking was hot?
Drudge says that he has information which he has not posted regarding a response from the KErry campaign. Supposedly this is front page on New York Times. Fox says it is a pen.
