Well, if this is true, I guess this shouldn't come as a suprise at all. But strangely, it does. I guess shock is always a healthy reaction to this kind of nonsense. Oh, and kudos to the guys at INDC Journal for dredging this one up:
John Kerry Violated Debate Rules
John Kerry brought prohibited material into last Thursday's Presidential Debate. From section 5, pages 4-5 of the binding "Memorandum of Understanding" (pdf file) that was negotiated and agreed upon by both political campaigns...
Read it. Also some good links to frame-by-frame photos.
Funny, seems I just wrote:
"We'll do what we have to," and damn any agreements we might have made or rules we should comply with. And if we must comply, we'll look for the tiniest technicalities to negate the purpose...
Will to power, folks.
And we can't have obvious performance indicators visible to -- you know -- the American public. We wouldn't want them getting the idea our guy can't follow the rules. Just in case, you know, he can't.
Apparently, he can't.
Folks, please try to understand this: If Kerry cheats in matters this trivial, what makes you think he won't screw us all us for some more sizeable benefit? If he can't follow the ethical rules for a debate, why would we think he would follow the rules of ethical behavior for being president? If we, the American people, can't trust him to keep a promise negotiated with his "enemy" the Republicans, why should hostile foreign powers trust him to keep his promises negotiated with them?
Please, American people: Wake up. Please get a clue about what you're going to be doing to yourself if you put this guy in power.
It's just like Kerry to pull something like this while his back was turned so nobody could see it. His cleverness is disgusting!! It's a good thing Fox was running all the cameras or we'd never have even known about this
This is the only logical explanation for why Kerry did so much better than Bush. I've even heard several people say that the object he took from his pocket looked like a PDA? Only he could be so brazen!
This has nothing to do with desperate paranoia and everything to do with the TRUTH! Stay on this story!
"(c) No props, notes, charts, diagrams, or other writings or other tangible things may be brought into the debate by either candidate."
Since cloths are "tangible things", both candidates should have entered the debate room naked. This implies that the "Memorandum of Understanding" is a call to violate the laws of the US.
One can only appreciate that the candidates had the decency to not follow all the rules contained in this questionable text.
Dan,
First, it's "clothes".
Second, you have made an intersting point. And yet, simultaneously, a completely idiotic one.
Bravo.
You've attempted to prove there was absolutely no point to the rule in question, that it had no effective meaning nor "spirit", and it was good to violate under a technicality.
Gee, that reminds me of... oh, I don't know... the last Democratic administration.
Can't imagine why.
Bush Cheated as well... with the microphone in his ear..proof was found on fox news..
The comment rules will apply. Please post only once.
