We have never had "debates" between the candidates. They are called debates
by TV Pundits, but they are not debates.

Brilliant strategy! I vote Chuck Gould for Bush campaign manager!

See? I told you that message would resonate with his supporters. :-)

True enough...in a real debate, Bush would be laughed off the podium.

We today have a president of the United States who looks like he is the
son of Howdy Doody or Alfred E. Newman, who isn't smarter than either of
them, who is arrogant about his ignorance, who is reckless and
incompetent, and whose backers are turning the United States into a pariah.

What, me worry?

Your opinion, but he seems to have overcome Ann Richards and Al Gore.

The posit was, "in a real debate..."

Not a venue in which quips are exchanged.

Gould,
I just found this web site I thought you might like. It rates the mud
slung
by both parties. It looks like Kerry has gained a lead in slinging mud.

Maybe if he slings enough, he'll get back into the race. :-)

Does it strike you as just a bit tragic that we have organizations set up
to
measure just *how* negatively one side or the other campaigns?

Grow up Chuckie! The mud in present day campaigns is nothing compared to 150
years ago.

It's a sad fact that the name -calling, lies,
and malicious accusations seem to be what Boobus Americanus responds to
most
enthusiastically. (That's why it has become the mainstay of most political
campaigns for the last 30 years or so).

As I said it is for more than 150 years.
