Looking like a deer caught in the headlights
 
Facing a hostile audience, Bush looks like he's slipping badly. I was fairly
surprised, I'd forgotten how badly he does stand-up.

Facing a hostile audience, Bush looks like he's slipping badly. I was fairly
surprised, I'd forgotten how badly he does stand-up.

Most questions are attacks and he's not good under pressure. He sounds near
hysterical at times.

Wow, that was one scary performance by "our" president. It's actually really

Sorry Guys,

I thought Bush beat "I have a plan, Kerry" tonight. Kerry didn't seem
as sure of himself this time and he would "I have a plan" the audience
while he tried to organize his thoughts.

It was close. Maybe enough to call it a draw?

That's my thoughts, for what its worth.

Jonathan Ganz October 9th 04 04:33 PM

Bush used the you're with us or against us argument when Kerry said it's not
as simple as that with respect to saving the life of a woman. Kerry was for
saving her life, Bush wasn't. I don't think it was a draw.

I agree Ol Thom,

Kerry's plan was not thought thru.
Just what we need...rationed heath care like Canaduh.
No way will his taxing the top 2% will pay for such an ill concieved
plan.

Kerry was put in his place over and over.
And he wants to spend my tax money paying for abortions.
Embronic stem cell research, ect...

And to top it off he's going to grow all these big welfare programs
and cut the deficet in Half in 4 years. Yeah right.

Kerry was nothing but a big liberal suck up liar who can never do
what he promises. He has had over 20 years as a senator to put in
place Tort reform and he shot it down every time it was to be voted
on.

Thats all we need in the white house, two crooked lawyers.

Have to differ, I was somewhat taken aback, haven't seen Bush do any public
speaking beyond public speeches(prepared remarks) and I was shocked about
how befuddled Bush appeared. He couldn't articulate any cogent arguments,
just spouted off the usual hackneyed remarks about the efficacy of his
economic programs, just recycling his campaign material. The oddest thing,
both my son and I noticed, was Bush's striking resemblance(in the long
camera shots, anyway) to Alfred E. Neuman. Bush also seemed to be having a
fairly difficult time keeping his emotions in check, though I've read that
he did a better job this time than the first.

Bull,
Kerry tried to spin everything. He says he was against partial birth
abortions, then Bush told us Kerry voted against it.

Kerry said the troops are not getting what they need, then Bush told
us Kerry voted against the 87 billion dollars to supply the troops.

Kerry said he will make the French frogs like us, Bush said screw
them the presidents job is not to get the French to like us.

Kerry said he will cut taxes, yet Bush Told us Kerry voted for higher
taxes 98 time.

Kerry will say anything to get elected. He has a long history of
saying what ever it takes to get what he wants.

Bush does what he says, and says what he's going to do.


Fact
Checks afterwards revealed Kerry was on target more than Bush,



Bwahahahhahahahah yeah right.


but do enough
people stay tuned to see who was truthful?

People like Horvath and Dave don't,

I think it's people like you, Jonboy, vito, carnes, ect who can not

Welcome back.

Kerry came off to me as the typical lawyer.
Greeted the president nicely then turned around and started attacking.

He is the critic, the one who says he can do everything, but his
record shows he has never done anything of value for the last twenty +
years. Like most lawyers they will tell you anything to get what they
want. It amazes me that others fail to look at his past and can
believe anything he says.

Looks like you folks are caught between a rock and a reef. Either way you
may well end up with a candidate unable to effectively govern the country in
an intelligent manner. It's amazing that both Bush & Kerry could engineer
their own loss of reputation and honour in such short order. From what I've
seen on this side of the border, they are both embarrassments to the USA.

Either way Joe..... 22 days will be like a heartbeat compared to the amount
of time the USA will endure to extricate themselves from this quagmire of
poor strategy and the accompanying loss of global respect. Your enemy has
effectively forced you erect a big fence around yourselves as a containment
measure and your paranoia is distancing you from your allies. Kinda like a
Possum treein' a Coonhound!

It reminds me of a kid I knew that wanted to destroy a wasp nest. We tried
to warn him not to do that.... and suffered from his actions as well. He
didn't think that through either and the result was oddly similar to what
I'm seeing happening to you folks.

Bush got you into this mess..... It happened on his watch.... it's up to
him to get you out.!!!

Kerry did not even understand his tax plan will raise taxes on over

Sens. John Kerry and John Edwards, have proposed raising taxes on
individuals earning over $200,000. This would raise taxes on more than
900,000 small businesses, which are subject to the individual income,
not corporate, tax.

According to the Internal Revenue Service, over 1.3 million small
businesses owners fall into this category and would be subject to the
Kerry-Edwards tax
increase.

Instead of continually issuing misleading statistics, the Kerry and

That doesn't diminish the man, not in my eyes. If it does in yours, am

Thomas Dewey was a gifted public speaker and ran against a down home
Missouri store keeper who destroyed his bid to become President. That
was because Harry Truman was a better man for the job.

When Clinton left office the deficit was gone. There was, as Bush pointed out,
a nice surplus, which he used to buy your vote. The dot.com bubble? You must be
kidding. Everyone but you seems to know why that happened and it wasn't
politics! The 9/11 attack happened on Bush' watch, but that could have happened
to ANY president. Still, Bin Laden chose to attack when BUSH was in power here

WHAT WMDs??? What do you consider a "major attack?"
The socialogical fabric that allows for terrorism can't be defeated with wars,
not now, not ever. The very idea that we're going to "end terrorism" is a joke.
It ebbs and flows and at the moment it's flowing. When it ebbs a political
leader will claim "victory" until another terrorist attack. Don't you read at
all, Joe? Have you know vision or perspective?
