As we did for the last debate, please post all related comments here so as not to overwhelm the forum with debate related topics.

Also, for the sake of compactness, please consider removing sigs from your comments...

Thanks in advance for your cooperation and we look forward to a lively exchange.

Sounds simple enough... Laughing

Man I wish I was an "Undecided Voter" in Ohio! I can think of a number of questions JFnKerry has not answered or even been asked! How do they determine legitimacy of the people attending?

Ok I have an idea.

Everyone duck.

This board gets a lot of traffic on debate night. If we are feeling good about things or bad we will be here commiserating with each other.

So, I was wondering, if we organized a little "give something extra" type of fundraiser tonight, were we each go make a donation during the debate, including 30 minutes before and 30 minutes after; How much money do you think we could reasonable expect to pull in?

I was thinking we could do this and set a goal. Everyone who donates during the allotted time can post it in this thread and we'll keep a running tally to see if we will reach the goal.

So what do you think?

I'm going to send a free iron on transfer to anyone that donates and PMs me a mailing address.

Just to clarify, I copied, pasted and edited that last post to put it in the debate topic.

I decided we'll just do it starting with any donation made today and people can either post it and i'll add it to the total or they can PM me the amounts if you dont want to publish it and I'll add it and I will post a running total as we go along.

Note the running sentence about the running total.
No I have not started sipping cocktails yet. That is for the debate, one sip for each time Kerry says BUT.

Anyway....

EMPTY YOUR POCKETS!

Ready, set..

GO

I'm in for fifty "good luck" bucks now, and I'll pledge fifty more "celebration" dollars later on tonight, after W opens a can of whoopass on Kerry's rice-peltered butt.

(Please God, let George W Bush see Osama bin Laden every time he looks at Kerry, so he will go after this unfit charlatan with the same intensity he goes after terrorists and other enemies of the USA.)

I am in for $25.

I pledge to give $5 additional dollars for each time Kerry says "Vietnam" or makes a reference to his service in Vietnam/activities afterward. If he mentions his "support" of the POW/MIA I will give $10 each time because this really irritates me!

Y'all have to help me keep track, so I can give the appropriate amount!

http://www.zelda3d.zeldapower.com/swift/chat.php

I have renamed the chat to "The Debates" Chat I had no right to put "Swiftvets" on it and I want to say im sorry and I will never claim that again.

There is a few people in here and I hope to see a few more during the debates.

I wonder who whould flip-flop more Kerry? Or a goldfish out of its tank?

dmackto,

Haha..you're right, this could break our backs! Since you are on "truthful" and "consistent", I guess it is only right of me to give $1 each time he says "misled". I will have pen and paper handy tallying the results!

John Kerry - "I have had one consistent position on Iraq". "The president has misled the American people". "You need to be truthful to the American people, I will do that as president."

If he says, "I defended this country as a young man, and I will defend this country as President"(paraphrased) I will give another $10 (and owe an additional $5 for reference to Vietnam). I am so sick of hearing him say this.
