Messed Missages?
 

Good grief...how many times did Bush same the same stupid thing, over
and over and over...

Long pauses, stumbling through the language...

And Bush's body language...looked like he wanted to be somewhere else.

What an embarrassing fool Bush is.





--
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?

I just scanned the transcript of the debate. Bush brought up "mixed
messages" more than 100 times.

Bush should *never* have agreed to debate Kerry. Personally, I'm glad he did-
he looked like a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest----

However, don't forget there's a reason that newspapers are written on a sixth
grade level. There will undoubtedly be a lot of folks who think Bush was more
"folksy", and if that's the most important quality for a POTUS, then he surely
scored points with them.

Unfortunately, we are a nation of Joe Six=Packs, but Kerry dropped one
laser-guided bomb after another on Bush, and all Bush seemed to be able
to do was repeat one of the four phrases on the 3x5 cards someone else
wrote out for him.

Bush looked and sounded pathetic...but...

He was gone after the first half hour.

==================================================

Interestingly enough readers of the Wall Street Journal tend to agree
as of 11:15 PM Eastern Time. So far the reader debate poll is tilting
60% to 33% for Kerry, with 7% undecided. Since the WSJ readership
tends to be conservative and reasonably well educated, that's an
interesting result. If the Democrats had run Kerry 4 years ago, I
think he would have won.

Is the WSJ "poll" restrictive so as to eliminate the possibility of
partisans voting repeatedly for their candidate?

At this moment, 11:45 pm EST, the MSNBC poll on the same subject has it
Kerry 71, Bush 29, with about 350,000 voting. Again, though, I have no
idea whether the site blocks repetitive voting.

I liked the format, the lights, and the questions. I think the
discussion was spot-on.

=========================================

Yes. If you go back through the poll a second time, only the current
results are displayed. Since the WSJ is by paid subscription they
have a pretty good handle on who is doing what.
