I agree with this 100%. The questions were a total set-up to make for Lurch look good, and the President to look bad. That being said, I think that most of the debate the President did well, I wish he would have landed a few more blows, but that is really not his way.

The truth is debates usually don't sway anyone's votes. They tend to make each one of the candidate's feel good about their guy. You know, maybe it wouldn't be such a bad thing letting Kerry think he won the debate. Kerry looks better when his face is all puffed up anyways.

At the end, when everyone was up on stage, Lehrer turned to walk off behind the curtain and I swear he winked at Kerry.

Everybody knows that lea rah is a LIBECRAT! I cant stand to watch him on the OPB channel here in Oregon. He sucks and the fact that Public TV has been hijacked is not lost on me. I wont even call they're fund raiser's unless I wish to ask why they push the Pro Homosexual, Pro Socialistic, Pro Tree-hugging anti Christian Anti Semite views that I oppose. "W" made me proud to be an American tonight and He's true Class.

Lehrer..who?? He's so yesterday...like Dan Rather...
Leftists..to the bitter end, but..
hey, obsolete...very much so.
While they try so desparately to help their pal democrat candidates..
Their candidates are and woefully so...like the fogging mists
that fad so fast in the brilliant light of truth.

Lehrer did everything but kiss Kerry's feet.

I'm wondering if maybe debates should be a thing of the past.

I was very impressed by President Bush, as he spoke from the heart.

Kerry was well rehearsed, and obviously had been fed the questions beforehand.

Just another reason to hate the MSM.

Why wasn't there any real questions about Kerry's senate career and foreign policy?

[Wonderama]

I think Bush did GREAT! He won, because he was real. He was experienced, he was direct and to the point. Kerry was full of fluff and pomp. Bush kicked butt. Don't listen to the pundits, think for yourself. I turned off all media after the debate and digested it all and I think he did great.

[lilylangtree]

Get rid of Lehrer!

[Balding_Eagle]

I don't necessarily disagree with any of the points made in NewsMax, but this isn't going to help us. It is important to have a correct analysis of what went wrong, but the timing makes it sound a little like whining. Leave whining to the Libs. Buck up, and move on.

The questions were all stacked against Bush. Why wasn't there a question about Kerry's bill to gut the CIA after the first WTC bombing? Or why he never felt inclined to attend intelligence committee hearings. Or which weapons would now be left if his votes in the Senate had carried a majority. Or how does the experience of conspiring with the enemy while in uniform set an example for the troops who must now defend us from terrorists (wouldn't his postwar activity excuse any soldier for joining the Al-Queda?) THE SENATOR HAS SO MUCH EXPERIENCE NEGOTIATING WITH AMERICA'S ENEMIES MAYBE HE JUST DOESN'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FRIENDS AND FOES. The president looked tired because he's been assaulted since the Chinese took out our recon plane in the early days of this term. Maybe it's too much to ask for this man to confront the realities of being a wartime president while campaigning against a wannabe pretender like Kerry. This double duty is a terrible burden. God bless him.
