On another thread, http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1232331/posts, someone commented that 42's people used to refer to Lehrer as their moderator, since he always came through for 42.
Laura Ingraham said 9 of 10 in France back sKerry. Hurray! That is tres bien in my book!
I'll direct this to IG, being from Iowa makes her an expert :^P, but would appreciate any insight anybody has.
This thread has a reference to it and says shows Bush still with a rising commanding lead over Kerry.
Thanks.
Thanks for that documentation. I'm going to copy and paste it into a poster to hang in Republican Headquarters this afternoon. And I'll make an extra copy to lay on my son's plate at lunchtime. He obviously was right. I guess all that money I paid for his college education is beginning to pay off.
IMO Kerry does seem pro-world rather than pro-American.
good morning, all...
Thanks for the links yet again, Molly... and I appreciate it when you ping the list to this post - it makes it so much easier for me to immediately get the news of the day when you do.
I'll be around a little today, but unfortunately won't be able to join the discussion much. I expect to be much more available tomorrow and Sunday. Needless to say, I haven't stopped my tag line actions, though...
I'd like to answer some of the comments you made the other day, but just don't have the time right now...
Changing tagline...
Hello and welcome!! Good to have you here.
I am not a student of the Iowa Electronic Market.
I THINK it's real trading, not simulated. However, you shouldn't take my word for it.
Great start, Chair.
I've only time for a few observations about the debate.
1. I thought the President took the wrong tack about Iraq. Thought he ought to have maintained that it wasn't going badly at all and that the Old Media has been improperly reporting what was going on in a country the size of CA and city the size of LA... not very many deaths at all compared to CA, in fact. Still mourn every one, but it is either engage the terrorists there or here.
2. sKerry's lies ought to be easy to take advantage of, but most especially his statement that he's "never wavered in my life" was a gift that will keep on giving as the next month wears on.
3. The President's closing statement was fantastic (and he did well the last half hour - after the "compliment") and I believe it will carry the night in the end. Kerry's was very flat.
4. My 7 yo Daughter..."I can't believe this guy was ever a senator"...
5. As time wears by, I think the President will gain with this vs. sKerry ... though less polished, his answers resonate well.
I'm in charge of the machine here today, so won't be able to respond to others takes much...

1. The New York subway was NEVER shut down during the Republican convention.
2. Saying he never wavered was ridiculous, given that he is on tape doing exactly that.
3. The "global test" comment was a disaster for him.
4. Giving nuclear material to the mullahs is a suicidal idea.
5. He wants multilateralism in Iraq, but unilateralism in North Korea.
I am sure there are more./ This is just what I can remember off the top of my head.
Good morning everyone! It is definitely fall here in Indiana. I am finally wearing long jeans, which I avoid doing until it is simply too chilly. I am babysitting at The Coopster's today, so there will be lags in my response time.
I would also like to say that President Bush may not be the slickest debater, but he tells the truth, is a good and decent man, and he loves this country more than himself. I am proud to support him, and I think people need to remember that everyone told us that Gore won the first debate. It wasn't until several days of people making fun of the sighing and pointing out his obnoxiousness that people realized who had REALLY won. So start pointing out those lies and goofy ideas to your friends and neighbors. They heard them but didn't realize the implications of what he said. GET BUSY! We are going to win this election!
Hmm. Well thanks, perhaps I'll be able to research it later. The Wash Post and Wash Times are BOTH calling the debate a draw! See at: http://www.captainsquartersblog.com/mt/

All of the questions seemed to be aimed at attacking Dubya, nothing about Ketchup Boy's record in the Senate. And the 90 minute format needs to go. I fell asleep near the end.
"Global test" will haunt Cabana Boy for the rest of the campaign. There's no glossing over the fact he would go to the UN for a permission slip before acting in America's interest.
so great both of your children watched & understood enough to make comments..
Welcome to our cyber living room Raquel...
Hope your "machine" is nice to you today M...I will mow today...:)
Just heard on weather report that temps in Cleveland will be in high 30's Sunday early AM.. ugh
I was disappointed when the mountain disappeared in the dark....I wish they had a night vision camera up there. The sun is just coming up here and as you said, the mountain is still there. I haven't heard anything about increased activity today - It will be interesting if there is an event of some sort.
Hey!! Where are you? The computer still giving you fits? We miss you.
Sleeper trolls coming out of the woodwork this morning. All saying the debate was a disaster and Dubya lost the election last night.
*YAWN*
And the "permission slip" remark from President Bush will open the thread from now until the election.
Chair - wonderful assessment! I hope you didn't mind, but I did a "cut and paste" and shared your views with some like-minded individuals here at work and for them to share with those who think Kerry was the big winner.
BTW, spell check caught some errors, but I know you were STEAMING when you typed this :-)
