Yeah, there is no way that note taking wasn't allowed. All candidates have done it out in the open for every single debate. I'm not sure where anyone got the idea that is was not allowed.

Re: Bush Aides Deny Internet Rumors He Was Wired
 

I am pretty sure note taking was allowed, considered they even agreed to what kind of pen and paper they could use in that huge rule book they used.

Re: Bush Aides Deny Internet Rumors He Was Wired
 

Eh.. I only said kerry was in the wrong because someone said note taking was off limits.. But eh... I couldn't tell you what it is.. Maybe it's attahed to a microphone transmitter so if the pres or kerry steps away from the pod it would still be a mic... I mean haven't you people seen the tv shows... ? the microphone box is big about the size of a cigarette (SP ) pack..

But those go onto the top of the pants, around the small of the back. Not in the middle of your back.

I see how it is. If its off limits and they both do it, only Kerry should get in trouble. It all makes sense now.

Re: Bush Aides Deny Internet Rumors He Was Wired
 

And if it was off-limits and Kerry was doing it anyways, Bush should do it too so that it doesn't look different between them.

Its threads like this that reaffirm my conviction to never debate politics again on this forum. Enjoy wallowing in the residue of your own paranoid ramblings and blind support for anything mildly sensational.

Don't shirts sometimes have that square in the back? I think my dress shirts have one. Why is everyone always trying to find ways to make everyone seem worse than they are? Damn media..

Re: Bush Aides Deny Internet Rumors He Was Wired
 

You know, I wouldn't be surprised if Kerry wasn't always taking notes when he appeared to be anyway. He might have been practicing his signature for all we knew. And so was Bush (although I didn't see Bush doing it so much in the first debate. Then again, he looked really out of it).

Re: Bush Aides Deny Internet Rumors He Was Wired
 

Have you ever tried it? Oh man, what a buzz...

Re: Bush Aides Deny Internet Rumors He Was Wired
 

To be honest, hardly ever, but that doesn't meant I haven't. I guess what I meant with what I said, is well that it sucks that we're always doing that instead of writing about what's good about these candidates. I know that bad stuff sells though.

Just a quick question here.

Why make a post telling us you wont make a post about your opinion?

And by the way you word things, its like you want an argument. Like you thrive on conflict or something.

Re: Bush Aides Deny Internet Rumors He Was Wired
 

I agree with Typhoid on this. Strangler, if all you are going to do is sit around and not comment on politics, thats fine. I have no problem with people who don't feel like commenting for whatever reason. I find it irritating, however, when someone acts like they are a level above all us "common ignorant folk" and must mention that we are idiots and don't deserve to have you say something about the subject everytime something like this comes up.

So, don't make prodding comments like that, please.

Re: Bush Aides Deny Internet Rumors He Was Wired
 

The county I live in (Arlington) is largely made up of democrats...

I was at work (Ben and Jerry's) the night of the second debate... We listened to it over the radio (not a very busy night), and the few customers we had in from the hour the debate was on before we closed were all loudmouthed republicans...

One used his "outside voice" to impress his friends with his knowledge (opinions) on everything Kerry said ever, shooting down his points before he'd even made them...

Another, on his way to the bathroom, decided to stop halfway through the door to stop and lecture us "impressionable" young folk on who we should vote for...

My uncle and Aunt are republican, and they believe Bush blew Kerry away during the first debate... They (along with my republican grandpa) believe it's their job to pester my democratic dad (if you didn't know, they're all from the same side of the family) about how he's voting for the wrong side, is stupid for voting democratic, is a disgrace (you may think I'm exagerating, I'm not) etc etc every time politics is brought up in the slightest way...

This may seem irrelavant to the topic of The Strangler's comments... But.......

Well what I'm trying to do here is counter his you guys are stupid I'm better than you attitude with a jump to conclusions all republicans are loudmouth asshole comment...

and Shawn Hannity would make a good nazi...
