[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] <blockquote>"Bush seems to see the world in shades of black and white, with no grey area in between. You're either for us or against us. Something is either perfectly right or perfectly wrong. But that isn't the way the world works, Mister President...."</blockquote> Bush made his inability to see the color grey about as clear as he possibly could tonight. Kerry said this: <blockquote>"Well, again, the president just said, categorically, my opponent is against this, my opponent is against that. You know, it's just not that simple. No, I'm not. "I'm against the partial-birth abortion, but you've got to have an exception for the life of the mother and the health of the mother under the strictest test of bodily injury to the mother. "Secondly, with respect to parental notification, I'm not going to require a 16-or 17-year-old kid who's been raped by her father and who's pregnant to have to notify her father. So you got to have a judicial intervention. And because they didn't have a judicial intervention where she could go somewhere and get help, I voted against it. It's never quite as simple as the president wants you to believe."</blockquote> And Bush responded: <blockquote>"Well, it's pretty simple when they say: Are you for a ban on partial birth abortion? Yes or no? "And he was given a chance to vote, and he voted no. And that's just the way it is. That's a vote. It came right up. It's clear for everybody to see. And as I said: You can run but you can't hide the reality."</blockquote> So Bush is explicitly stating that, in his mind, if you vote for or against something, it unequivocally means you are for or against every single conceiveable aspect of it. Obviously, that explains why he can't understand the lack of contradiction between Kerry's vote to give him the [i]right[/i] to start a war, but now saying that Bush's actual prosecution of the war was a cock-up. In Bush's mis-wired brain, saying "President, you have the authority to go to war" automatically includes the qualifier "and any manner in which you choose to do so is now, by definition, infallible". Just remember, everyone: a vote for Bush means you agree with [i]everything[/i] he does, with zero exceptions. [/QB][/QUOTE]
