Debate moderator tells Gephardt: "It should have been you up there"
St. Louis Post-Dispatch ^ | 10/10/2004 | Deb Peterson

Apparently it wasn't just conservatives that thought Bush drop-kicked Kerry Friday night. Charlie Gibson didn't think much of ABC's candidate either. Enjoy!

Charles Gibson said to Gephardt in a private moment: "It should have been you up there - things would have been different."

I personally can't stand Kerry. Gephardt would have made me a passive Bush supporter rather than an activist Kerry basher.

Like someone said the other day, a Tony Blair type democrat that was strong on defense would have easily beaten Bush.

I never thought that I would say this, but speaking personally, I would prefer Bill Clinton over Kerry.

I can't stand Gephardt either. He's the crook responsible for keeping the polls open in St. Louis longer to ensure the dame Carnihan won that Senate race a few years back.

He's just as evil a partisan RAT as sKerry.

I just had this same conversation with someone the other night. It's sad but Kerry makes Bubba look good in comparison.

Now is the question is, can the democrat party aka Clinton not Clintons stop the run-away train they've created and have their brown shirts not vote? I would say the next two weeks will be very interesting.

Yo, guys. I didn't hear the remark in context, but could it be that Gibson was saying that it should have been Gore rather than Pres. Bush (not rather than Kerry)? My initial gut response is that this is a shot against Bush.

If for some bizarre reason we ended up with a campaign in which it came down to Bill Clinton vs John Kerry, I wouldn't just vote for Clinton, I'd be out there campaigning for him. That's how horrible I think Kerry would be for this nation as president.

I figure the clintons think they have it made. If Kerry loses, Hillary can set herself up as saviour of the DNC in 2008. If he wins, she can finagle a Supreme Court position, which might be far more dangerous in the long run.

...prefer Bill Clinton over Kerry.

That's because Clinton is a moral degenerate, but Kerry is a true socialist.

The mob vs. the communist.

Shoot, with the way the Democrap party and their willing accomplices in the MSM have been foaming and raving during this election year, you'd think Gibson meant to say "It should have been Kim Jong-Ill up there..."

I agree with you. Clinton is a murderer many times over, a big-time drug dealer, a rapist, a traitor who sold out to the Chinese, an oath breaker, a draft dodger, a man who choses his staff on the basis of their criminality. But he's still better than kerry, because at least he has a few grains of patriotism and common sense buried in their someplace.

Similarly I'd rather see Tony Soprano in charge of the country than Jimmy Carter.

That's like saying you prefer rotten meat over lumpy milk.

Now that'd be a confirmation episode to rival Clarence Thomas's...
