3. I don't see how he can get out of it. Unless there is a terror attack of
course. The pResident would then have other priorities. :tinfoilhat:

Other then a major catastrophe, I don't see how he can get out it.

4. Do you think the Presidential earpiece could be jammed?
Not suggesting anything... Just speculating? "Peeance Freeance"

He would have the same "The Pet Goat" look on this snout.

6. Bush is dumb enough to think he could win - against a prosecutor.
He may have had daddy's help getting him out of trouble in TX and while at Yale and from going to Vietnam, but daddy can't help him in a debate.

8. bush would forfiet the election if he refused to debate
Remember in 2000 the slimeball tried to skirt debating Gore - and started a slide in the polls. The coward.

I think Kerry should be demanding debates now.

11. It would just give Kerry new material if Bush didn't debate.
"In this time of war, when our young men and women are putting their lives on the line every day, why is George Bush afraid to debate the issues with me?"

12. Of course he'll debate. And no matter what he does, the media will say
he won - even if he drops his pants and shits on the floor.

13. he will, but he will try to get conditions
which will make it nothing more than a joint news conference rather than a debate.

18. He won't agree to anything like a real debate with Kerry.
He'll require questions in advance, or the earpiece thing, or something else.

But no real debate.

19. According to Republican morons....
They can't WAIT to see a debate seeing as how George Bush, a man who cannot find a coherent sentence (or pronunciation) when it is WRITTEN down in front of him, will just wipe the floor with a man who has been publicly speaking for a couple decades now.

You're all right -- I want to see a debate with not one preconceived question and I want the candidates to be frisked (particularly in the ears) before they go out to speak.

Then and only then will America finally realize what a complete and utter moron we have in the Oval Office currently.

20. The real question is
How many bags of popcorn will I go through while sitting five inches from the screen.

It's ON, baby. I cannot frickin' wait.

21. He'll debate, but it's not because of bravery.
He tried to avoid the debate with Gore and it almost sank him. Bush will debate Kerry, because Bush is afraid not to -- not because Bush is brave.

Bush is a cowardly POS, of course. That's why he never does press conferences.

22. Can't Wait!
I am so looking forward to seeing Kerry tear W a new one. I agree that W will probably try to impose all kinds of restrictions beforehand, the idiot.

I also want to see Edwards debate Cheney!

23. I'd love to see it too,
but I just don't think it's going to happen. If they debate, they don't stand a chance, and they know it.

24. Very funny questions.
I was tempted to vote that he's too much of a coward to show up, but his cowardice seems to be trumped by his brashness.

So the only reasonable choice, it seems to me, given what an automoton puppet he is for the PNC is: "Yes. He'll say whatever the radio in his ear says to say."

26. No, but he'll have to do it anyway. Where is that choice?
Duh.

27. NO WAY on Earth will the monkey debate Kerry
He and his handlers all know he is 100% doomed in any kind of throwdown with THE MAN. They will come up with some sort of nonsense excuse to skirt out of the thing, and the FOX NEWS team will get hazard pay to sell their bullshit 24 hours a day.

Bush is the biggest fucking coward ever born on Earth. It's ridiculous to think that he would ever stand up to ANYONE, let alone a public servant as large (physically and figuratively) as John Kerry.
