Apparently GWB had a wireless audio receiver strapped to his back to be able to get messages sent to a hearing aid type device in his ear during the first debate. How sporting of him. ![]() www.electoral-vote2.com/images/bulge.jpg[/img] Note the bulge of the device and the wire under his jacket. |

ASHINGTON, Oct. 8 - What was that bulge in the back of President Bush's suit jacket at the presidential debate in Miami last week?
According to rumors racing across the Internet this week, the rectangular bulge visible between Mr. Bush's shoulder blades was a radio receiver, getting answers from an offstage counselor into a hidden presidential earpiece. The prime suspect was Karl Rove, Mr. Bush's powerful political adviser.
When the online magazine Salon published an article about the rumors on Friday, the speculation reached such a pitch that White House and campaign officials were inundated with calls.
First they said that pictures showing the bulge might have been doctored. But then, when the bulge turned out to be clearly visible in the television footage of the evening, they offered a different explanation.
"There was nothing under his suit jacket," said Nicolle Devenish, a campaign spokeswoman.
"It was most likely a rumpling of that portion of his suit jacket, or a wrinkle in the fabric."
Ms. Devenish could not say why the "rumpling" was rectangular.
Nor was the bulge from a bulletproof vest, according to campaign and White House officials; they said Mr. Bush was not wearing one.

I guess GWB's original attempt at obfuscation that the bulge pictures had to have been forged because there were no typewriters back when GWB went AWOL that could have made that bulge ended up being overruled because playing back the video from the first debate showed the bulge to be present.

The bulge is supposedly a homing device like they put on birds, mountain lions, whales, etc, etc, to track them. This lets the secret service know where he is at all times.

It's been awhile since I submitted a political cartoon. The links is to one of my favorite political cartoonists from Phoenix, AZ - Steve Benson. His drawings is exactly how I feel right now. I still cannot believe that there are so many people who are still undecided on who to vote for President. Already the other countries dislike the American government(they've always had but it turned up a notch when the current President invaded you know what country...and by the way it's not a war it's an invasion and occupation) and if Americans vote for GW the other countries will not only continue disliking the American government but also the American people. This past weekend while at work I've talked to several Aussies and SE Europeans and they're very, very concerned on who will be our next President. They know who the Golden State will vote for in about two weeks for President but they're somewhat puzzled and frightened how the rest of the country will vote for. All I can say Volleytalk members - go out and vote and most of all be an informed voter. www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/opinions/benson/articles/101304benson.htmlwww.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/opinions/benson/articles/101404benson.htmlwww.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/opinions/benson/articles/101504benson.html |

Explain why it is important that I, as an American, should vote for who the Europeans and others want as our President.
What does it matter if the other countries hate Americans?
One of the reasons I'm voting for Bush is American political decisions are to be decided by the AMERICAN people, not by the French, Germans, Aussies, or others. I could not care less how much other countries despise us. They can take stick their animosity and stick it.
This is not realy directed at you Vball818, I know you're a good guy. Usually I'm at odds with a bunch of people I respect as far as political choices are concerned. I do however, have strong feelings when it comes to the "world's"view of America and how that view somehow lends credibiltiy to Kerry as being the better choice. I ask, better for whom?

Barefoot, no hard feelings here and I'm with ya on your opinions on how other countries despise or look down on Americans. I remembered your past replies in previous posts on who you'll be voting for and I have no bone about that. This current campaign for the president has polarized the country and it's going to be very, very interesting to see who will win. I do not disrespect, dislike or hate President Bush - unlike my middle-of-the-road Democrats or Republicans and Stonewall Democrats but I'm not that high on Senator Kerry either. He's a good guy and I still haven't gotten over that this latecomer is the main candidate to unseat the president. When he rode his Harely onto the stage on the "Tonight Show" I thought to myself what a dork and he has no chance to win. Boy was I wrong and I was so disgruntled when Gov Howard Dean had to bow out simply because he was losing in the caucases and was crucified by the media for the way he went on a rampage to rev up his supporters.
Basically I'm just not comfortable with the two leading candidates but I'm gonna vote for the Senator who is more environmental friendly, much more concerned with the national economy and a somewhat more considerate towards gay and lesbian issues. These three topics is what I have an interest in politics and President Bush viewpoints on these three is totally different than mine which makes me feel very uncomfortable.
Everybody - if you're a registered U.S. voter...go out and vote!

Everybody - if you're a registered U.S. voter...go out and vote! I agree please go out and vote. People will vote on issues that are important to them. I disagree with Bush's stance on abortion, the enviornment and so on but I trust that he will protect this country. Security is an important issue. For those that are concerned with the Enviornment, stem cell research, abortion rights etc, Bush is not the man for you. |

It's obviously his tail. The question is where are his horns?
