Did Kerry cheat in the debates? Links inside!

[L32Projekt]

OK,

I'm not going to dispute that President Bush had a "less than stellar" performance the night of the debates, but I'm not using this as an excuse for him. Here's the question:

Did Kerry cheat?

The reason I ask this is in light of this information:
http://www.drudgereport.com/dnc57.htm

and

http://homepage.mac.com/cfj/.Movies/JFKCheat.mov

In the Drudge Report, it 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..."

Opinions?

who the **** cares? I'm a big bush supporter but even i dont thing anyone can use that against him. if anyone changes how they feel about kerry b/c he used his own pen, they shouldnt be alowed to vote.

I heard about this last night on Drudge Report.....I think there are more important things out there to worry about.

Agreed...

NY Post thinks it was a black pen - some other news organization thinks it was a hankey. I think it was probably the same hankey he handed to Bush right after he handed Bush his *** in the debate.

Wow. My opinion is that if Kerry pulling a pen out of his coat is the best the Bush campaign can come up with, they are in trouble.

Saw this linked off of FARK yesterday. Drudge...

Again, other stuff to worry about...however, i guess no one else saw Bush flipping through his notes on the podium?

There's alot to worry about with Kerry. And while we are on the subject don't vote for Kerry just because you don't like Bush. Do some investigating and I think you'll vote republican this year.

The things that scary me the most are what Kerry does stand for. I won't list them do your own research, a hint though, look at his senate record, and direct quotes he has made all his life.

I hate it when facts are brought to the attention of closed minded people, and they are to stubborn to realize it's real. They just say "more right wing BS" Because someone else said it, it must be true.

Which is why you should listen to Drudge?

Ahhh the voice of the uniformed is always the loudest.

If you expect me to accept the fact your Kerry accusations I expect you to accept the fact that Bush is still a practicing alcoholic, did coke at Camp David while his dad was president (and maybe more recently), paid a young woman off for an abortion, beats Laura, talks about getting pussy with his dad, and misled the American people about Iraq and Saddam Hussein to take the focus off the fact his administration has not found OBL.
Trust me, there's evidence for all of these out there somewhere - just do some research. Just remember if you call BS on any one of these accusations - you also invalidate your own argument. Have a very pleasant day.
