Basically at the first debate:
Kerry: We went to Iraq with just Britain and Australia, we didnt' have a coalition.
Bush: YOU FORGOT POLAND

And through the rest of the debate, Bush's only response to any Iraq question seemed to center around Poland.

(Poland wasn't part of the initial coalition and came in afterwards).

I hate to change gears here, but I think one thing that Kerry needs to do is to actually outline his plan for our country, instead of saying, "I have a plan" and "You can go to my website and see." We know he has a plan, but we want to know what his plan is.

I hadn't even seen that in the first debate. I know that in the second debate he mentioned the Polish president (or Prime-Minister?), but he did not mention the Australians or the Spanish.

This "you forgot Poland" stuff is pretty funny.

He misphrased it and used the wrong word. He was trying to say something about Bush opening up nationally protected forests (including old growth) to timber companies .

I just looked at his website, and in every single one of the pictures where you can see his hands, he's doing that hand thing with the flat, vertical palm and the thumb sticking out.

Every. Single. One.

George Kush. Hmm, that doesn't sound as funny.

Still, they are certainly not alike. Not in appearance and definitely not in politics.

Kerry: 8'11"

Bush: 5' something.

Big difference there, and pun intended.

They do that because it's said that pointing is rude so they wanna get more votes by not being rude.

They're both just a couple of phonies who care about nothing other then being President. That's all that matters to them, so they arn't much different.-jay

I know you think that both are an equally bad choice, but I think it matters a lot which one of them becomes President. Not just for the US, but for the entire world.

But for all we know, Kerry might mess things up just as much as Bush. Campaign promises mean jack.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

As someone said in another topic, we know how Bush screwd things up in your country. Kerry may do bad too, but with Bush you're sure he'll do bad. I'd take my chances with Kerry. I think there are quite some 'anyone but Bush' voters.

There are plenty of 'anyone but [incumbent]' voters every time a president runs for re-election.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"
