Why Can't Kerry Answer a Yes or No Question?

[Shogun Empress]

I'm looking at his interviews and am shocked at how I wasted my time watching Kerry waste 7 minutes answering a question he didn't answer. WTF is he going to do about Iraq? Someone translate his bullshit for me please.

Position:

Getting the United Nations involved again...

[yoMAMA]

good question.......

again...

why is dean unelectable?

[Kuchana]

C'mon now. Practically most politicians can't answer the question. Kerry certainly isn't a surprise.

[hooligan]

lol. the same reasons why bush can't answer anything!

[Banana]

No. Bush can't answer anything because he keeps forgetting what your question was.

[Seamus]

I despise the man, but Bush is not an idiot. He has an agenda and he knows how to get his way. He just can't think on the spot worth anything.

[Banana]

I know. It was a joke.

[Yeahman]

The first rule of presidental politics is to never answer a question. I learned that from SNL during the 2000 election. It's called "slipping and sliding."

What is your favorite color?
Kerry: Well I believe in an America where color doesn't matter.
Bush: Uh... Me and vice-president Cheney are in the process of sorting through all the colors to see which one is best for the American people.

One plus one equals two; true or false?
Kerry: What I believe, is what I believe. People's views may differ and we should respect that.
Bush: Umm... you ask some tough question... well... uh... We don't have all the information yet but I am confident that we'll find the answer to that.

He's beens smoking that icky yicky yicky!

Do you think John Kerry is going to be another Bill Clinton?

[Yeahman]

There's also the tactic of responding to questions in such a way that the candidate can get off a prepared response and hope that the listeners have forgotten the original question by the time the candidate is through talking.

Moderator: Senator Kerry, why are you opposed to gay marriage?

Kerry: Let me answer that saying that when I was in Hicksville, Oregon, I met a 42 year old single mother named Sally. She had just lost her job and had 2 little boys to feed. She asked me, "Senator Kerry, when will I find a job?" I was touched. Under my new plan people like Sally will be able to find decent jobs and the elderly will be able to buy affordable prescription drugs...

Mod: You didn't answer my question. Hell you're not anywhere near my question.

Kerry: Let me finish. Under my new plan 5 million... no... 10 million?... yeah that sounds good... 10 million new jobs will be created...

Mod: President Bush, do you believe abortion is permissible in instances of rape or incest?

Bush: To answer your question, we have to keep in mind that we were attacked on September 11th. I mean, Saddam was a bad man. We know he killed his own people. The world is a safer place without him.

Mod: What the hell does that have to do with abortion?

Bush: I think that the American people want a leader who will stand up to these terrorists.

Mod: Forget it. You people are just wasting my time.
