"We're bringing a screwdriver" (Kerry Campaign threatens to sabotage debates)
WRKO radio - Boston | 9/30/04

Posted on 09/30/2004 11:16:08 AM PDT by pabianice

Heard on the hour's news:

The Kerry Campaign is now insisting that the warning lights mounted at each candidate's podium be disconnected before tonight's debate. All had previously agreed that there would be 15 second warning lights mounted at each podium to let everyone know that the speaker's time was ending. Kerry Campaign is now panicing at the thought that Mr. Debater will not have enough time for each answer he wishes to give, and are demanding that the lights be removed.

The debate organizers, to their credit, are refusing, since both campaigns agreed to have the lights. To this, a Kerry spokesman replied, "We're bringing our own screwdriver and we'll disconnect the light ourselves if we have to."

THIS is the true spirit of Campaign Kerry: 'WE get to make the rules and WE get to change them when we feel like it.' Just whom we need running the country.

WE? So just how many dems DOES it take to disconnect a light?

I don't really care, as long as they forget to turn off the power first. :)

"ARE THESE PEOPLE NUTS"

Uh, yes. Why would anyone even think of disabling a time warning light, much less breaking the rules to do it? I think the Bush campaign should say stop screwdrivering around, or no debate.

I think the word 'sabotage' is overstating it a bit. They do sound like spoiled children, however.

I mean, after all we need to give Mr. Kerry enough time to debate all his positions.

Its really a three way debate. Kerry should be allowed twice as much time on each answer so that both of his multiple personalities have an opportunity to express themselves.

BTW, does he have different names for his different personalities?

Several responses to Crybaby Kerry on Lightgate. You were a debater at the Yale Political Union, as was I -- THOSE MODERATORS USED STRICT TIMING. You are a lawyer, as am I, so you probably know that the US Supreme Court has three lights on its lectern, and when the red bulb lights up YOU HAVE TO SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP, IMMEDIATELY.

Lastly, there is the point that YOU AGREED TO THE TIMING LIGHTS.

If you cannot keep your word for four days on the subject of a timing light, for crying out loud, how can ANYONE take you seriously about ANYTHING at ANY TIME?

What a putz.

Fine. Bring a screwdriver. I doubt they have anyone with the ability to operate one.

Would that be excessive force? Not very sensitive! (GAG!)

I have not read the entire thread.

But if Kerry breaks this rule then Bush should...

1) Only have the townhall meeting if he gets to pick 70% of the crowd,

2) Pick all future moderators, etc

3) Set other rules and enforcement actions.

IF these rules arent good enough for Kerry's cheating then no more 'debates' they can debate through thier website.
