OK, it's not as much as 2/3, but apparently he spent 40% of his 1st year in office on vacation.

And, he has spent more time away so far than 3 of the 4 previous presidents (Clinton, Reagan, Carter).

And being away on vacation means ... you can't get the job done? Doubtful. I couldn't care how much vacation someone takes, but get the damn job done. Kerry can take all the vacations he want, but REPRESENT your damn state!

The problem was Americans are unable to punch a hole in a piece of paper. Thousands were rejected because the holes wern't inisde the box properly or half-punched.

If someone has been taken off the electoral roll, wether it is with paper, or computer they won't be able to vote obviously.

I've just seen The Manchurian Candidate 2004. I'm a bit worried now. Is anyone else thinking we should seriously start scanning John Kerry for implants?

Think about it. His entire presidential campaign is based on one wartime act of bravery (pulling someone out of the water under fire), Meryl Streep's character is an exact clone of Hilary Clinton. Manchurian Global could be very easily be everyone's favourite capitalist venture baddie group, the Carlyle Group.

Makes you wonder doesn't it?

Anyone else remember Spitting Image's "The President's Brain is Missing"?

Yoohoo, Mr Bush...!

The thing that is a tad worrying is that Bush's whole campain is the war on terror and kerrys whole campain is that hes not bush.

Still kerry not being bush is good enough for me!

Hi all

Any idea of the exact date of the US presidential elections this year

Thanks

**Paul** · 23-09-2004, 17:44

Sorry, no idea. They are usually in November I think, but other than that I don't know.

Mr_love_monkey · 23-09-2004, 17:49

2nd of November with the new president being sworn in on the 20th of Jan

I dare say I will be called a right-wing-nut-job, but I found this and thought it was hilarious.

Kerry is nothing if not versatile

Tezcatlipoca · 09-10-2004, 14:36

Heh, there's speculation that Bush was "wired" during the 1st debate...

I've not seen the recent 2nd debate yet. Be interesting to see how both of them did in it. Another win for Kerry, or will Bush have performed better this time?

punky · 09-10-2004, 14:42

Whenever Bush is involved there are always conspiracy theories around. Let's face it, in the first debate he was comprehensively beaten by Kerry (it changed a 5 point deficit into a 3 point lead for Kerry), it hardly did him any good.

I saw the second presidential debate. Bush was much better. They were both pretty close, but I think Kerry edged it IMO. Not by much, if any. Seems like Bush learnt his lesson from the first one.

The vice presidential debate was good though. So good that some people seem to think like I do that they should be running for president instead of Bush and Kerry. I thought Edwards was better than Kerry in the nominations anyway, but Kerry only beat him because Edwards lacked experience. Seems like a reasonable enough bloke though.
