Yeah, basically this is what I decided also. Regardless of the specifics of the question asked, the candidates have a canned answer. It doesn't matter if it exactly met the specifications of the question, as long as it was in the general ballpark. The only one I'm guessing no one was ready for was Bush's three mistakes. :p

Sounds like an AI bot like Alice. It has canned responses if you ask something in the ballpark of what it's database of canned responses pertains to it just spews something to make some semblance of sense.

I wonder if like thousands of years in the future if some jobs like i dunno car welding, painting, bomb disposal and politician can be replaced by bots.

Hey wait a minute aren't they already? and what IS with that wire thing on GWB anyway? and what IS the definition of IS exactly? I don't think the bots resolved that yet.

I would ask the President. If he thought S. 1689($87 billion) was so important, why did his White House threaten to veto the bill!

Bush: You google it. Seeing as it's one of those dumb assed popular internet riddles. Now come up with your own question or stfu noob.

Sorry...that would be Cheney's response...not Bush's! :laugh:

I think the unadulterated answer from a Bush supporter would shock a non Bush supporter when they find out that it has nothing to do with what the RBH assert.

This is a critical flaw in the administration of the Kerry campaign. Kerry has no idea what his opposition believes and why they believe it, therefore, he is unable to sway them....

You're a Bush supporter. What's your unadulterated answer?

And I don't believe you commented on MonkeyK's second question. Do you have an unadulterated answer?

Simple. When the votes are 94-2, your vote is worth nothing. Just like you have no impact in the election if you live in MA or TX. Now if the vote is much closer, you have a point.

so what if all the senators take that stance and no one votes on anything?

My question to President Bush:

You talk about not wanting to further extend embryonic stem cell research lines, but can you tell me what you feel about the moral and ethical differences between therapeutic and reproductive cloning and using cord blood stem cells, adult stem cells along with somatic cell nuclear transfer? Also, with the First Lady, stating that stem cell research isn't realistic, do you feel this administration understand stem cell research and its potential better than thousands of scientists, doctors and researchers around the world?

Isn't it the Bush campaign's claim that everyone knows where he stands (even if they don't agree with him)?

When Kerry was raving about visiting wounded soldiers, I would have loved to ask him why he hasn't seen fit to visit them in Iraq. He has gone to everyone else to get their vote.

Everyone except Kerry, who doesn't know where he (Kerry) stands.

Ckg, no amount of spin will block the monkey reality of this president. His simian nature is part of the collective culture and reality... more so than Gore's inventing of the internet or anything else the neocons could dish out. You're not going to be able to stop me or the rest of the country that thinks it's a reality.

President Bush,

Is it not true, that you are in fact an even a bigger asshole - than everyone thinks that you are ?
