Bush Aides Deny Internet Rumors He Was Wired

The President has been accused of being wired to his advisors to get help during the first debate. A picture suggests the transmitter was planted on this back after someone put this photo up on the internet:



Do you think the President was being wired information during the first debate?

Re: Bush Aides Deny Internet Rumors He Was Wired
 

1. Then why did he do so poorly?
2. Have you ever heard of a spine?

Re: Bush Aides Deny Internet Rumors He Was Wired
 

1. Maybe his advisors suck.
2. I havent seen anyone with a square piece in their spine.

Re: Bush Aides Deny Internet Rumors He Was Wired
 

I'd be more worried about Elvis modating the third debate.

Like really, I am sure that they were probably checked for stuff like this. And also, if Bush did use a radio, I'm sure they would have a smaller one in a better hiding spot than smack dab in the middle of his back.

Re: Bush Aides Deny Internet Rumors He Was Wired
 

I need a video from behind just in case someone photoshop'd it ;)

Re: Bush Aides Deny Internet Rumors He Was Wired
 

I dont know.....it is Bush. He might have thought since their would be no cameras behind him that it would be an awesome place for it.

And then, if its not a radio, what is it?

Is he a robot?

Does he have a reverse, external pacemaker on his back?

Did he forget to take the clotheshanger out of his jacket before putting it on?

Whats the box?

Re: Bush Aides Deny Internet Rumors He Was Wired
 

it may actually make sense, because he did seem to make random faces during the debate.

Re: Bush Aides Deny Internet Rumors He Was Wired
 

I noticed that Kerry was taking some notes, then I heard on the radio that note taking wasn't allowed.

Re: Bush Aides Deny Internet Rumors He Was Wired
 

Okay with micro transmitters and the technology the us has.. I don't think that the pres would have something that big if he wanted to be wired to the advisors. :) I mean seriously.. Kerry on the other hand was in the wrong for taking notes.. Bad kerry BAD>.>!!!

Re: Bush Aides Deny Internet Rumors He Was Wired
 

Ok, with all of this micro this, and nano that. Please inform us all with your technology expertise as to what the BIG FRIGGIN BOX IS.

I say, most likely scenario is he forgot to take out the clotheshanger, and all those funny/wierd faces he was making wasnt from peopl etalking to him and him registering it, it was from the metal poking in his back.

Which would you prefer, a President who cheats in debates, or a President too stupid to remove metal from his jacket.



EDIT:

Did you notice how his aides just deny it. They never said what it actually was.

Re: Bush Aides Deny Internet Rumors He Was Wired
 

You're right. It wouldn't make sense for it to be a transmitter. Wonder what it is though.

However, about your whole note taking slam - were you even paying attention during the entire debate? Bush took notes too - and I'm sure would have taken more if he was literate.

Re: Bush Aides Deny Internet Rumors He Was Wired
 

I don't think he was actually taking notes, I think he saw Kerry taking notes and liked the way it made him look, so he tried to mimic him...

Re: Bush Aides Deny Internet Rumors He Was Wired
 

That is what monkeys do best....mimic people..

Re: Bush Aides Deny Internet Rumors He Was Wired
 

Maybe its not some "metaly" thing.... maybe its his pee bag... just that the cord went all over his body first to avoid suspisions about the presidents health...maybe?

Re: Bush Aides Deny Internet Rumors He Was Wired
 

+rep to Typhoid, TML and DsH for the great humor. :D

Re: Bush Aides Deny Internet Rumors He Was Wired
 

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..

Re: Bush Aides Deny Internet Rumors He Was Wired
 

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.

Re: Bush Aides Deny Internet Rumors He Was Wired
 

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.

Re: Bush Aides Deny Internet Rumors He Was Wired
 

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.

I only posted this article to inform of the public of one idea and/or suggestion.

GameMaster and all GM related products and people in no way endorse or support the suggestions made in the article.

Re: Bush Aides Deny Internet Rumors He Was Wired
 

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...

Re: Bush Aides Deny Internet Rumors He Was Wired
 

Hmm it's sad when people fight about politics. :(

Re: Bush Aides Deny Internet Rumors He Was Wired
 

I find the claim rather funny, but I find most things in politics funny, so eh.

Anyhow, on the issue about no note-taking. You were allowed to take notes, but you were not allowed to bring anything to the debate podlum with you. Some people accused Kerry of bringing note-cards and a pen to the debate, I think there is a video of him pulling something out of his pocket, could of been a pen, could of been his reading glass, but it's just as out there as this debate.

It takes time to look up information and then rely it back, and there could of been break-up and all this other stuff, which would probably have explained it.

Re: Bush Aides Deny Internet Rumors He Was Wired
 

1) When I see a thread based on such utter stupidity, I have to say SOMETHING.

2) As for "common ignorant folk"... if you give this idiotic theory any credence at all, you ARE "common ignorant folk".

3) I'll make comments when and wherever I please. It's called free speech. Look into it.

With that, I bid you all "Good Day".

Re: Bush Aides Deny Internet Rumors He Was Wired
 

Ok now THAT's offensive.

Re: Bush Aides Deny Internet Rumors He Was Wired
 

It's not offensive, it's the truth.

Re: Bush Aides Deny Internet Rumors He Was Wired
 

I envy you, you're so much better than them... Let's run away together and make love...

Re: Bush Aides Deny Internet Rumors He Was Wired
 

Who the hell cares whether he was wearing a wire or not? Does everyone have to comment and argue about every little god damn politic-related thing? It's just trivial annoying crap. There are much more important things that you could be arguing about, like who would win in a frankenstein vs. dracula fight to the death. Personally I think dracula would clean up, but then again the frankenstein monster is crazy strong. Discuss.

Re: Bush Aides Deny Internet Rumors He Was Wired
 

That was funny. Really funny.

Re: Bush Aides Deny Internet Rumors He Was Wired
 

Thanks, I try my best to do my worst.

Re: Bush Aides Deny Internet Rumors He Was Wired
 

It can be both.

Re: Bush Aides Deny Internet Rumors He Was Wired
 

So then calling a black guy a "nigger" to his face isn't offensive then?

I see.

Your logic evades even me.
