NICE MESSAGE. BROUGHT BACK MEMORIES.
Semper Fi.
Let's kill the Dem mole bastards.

[A Citizen Reporter]

"Kerry ... Being certain can get you into trouble????

That one will cost him!

[freepertoo]

The President is doing just fine...what is all this negativity! He's marvelous, he's human, he's real, he's honest. GO W!!!!!!!!

[quantim]

Is it just me, or are there a lot of trolls commenting here tonight?

And it's choking the server, and we're paying for it, literally..

[MNJohnnie]

I don't think I have ever seen such a lopsided debate. Bush has lost his footing if he ever had it.

Kerry supported every decision made and is not being held accountable.

Bush sounds like a high school cheerleader speaking against a seasoned veteran.

It is most regrettable.

Welcome to Free Republic Newbie. So which Moveon.org Seminar on infiltrating Conservative Websites and spreading anti-Bush propaganda did you attend? The one with Rapper Moby or the one run by James Carvel.

Nice try but we have see this old trick too many times before. If you are really watching the debate, Bush is killing Kerry. See, for "The Undecideds" LIKEABILITY was the key and Kerry is NOT doing anything to make himself LIKEABLE. He is like every Monday Morning Quarterback and coming across as an arrogant pompous jerk. Those who all ready AGREE with him will think he won. Those in the middle are going to really dislike his arrogant know everything tone and vague self-serving answers. But HEY, if it makes you feel better to think Kerry is doing well with any voters but with His "News Media" base, feel free to kid yourself.

New thread?.....


Kerry is acting as if he is the nuclear savior.

Read history Kerry

[austinaero]

OK,,,so Kerry is definitely going to lose on trying to get people worried about nuclear proliferation

I think W is being too nice,,too hesitant...I love him to death and I like what he is saying

I just wish we could see more of his passion

[Jrabbit]

Dang....finally found a reasonable post to reply to! Bush is doing great! Why are so many full of doom and gloom?

[Carolinamom]

Kerry doesn't know because he has skipped the Intelligence Committee meetings.

[Petronski]

No one has fallen on their face, no one has obviously won.

Both candidates are portraying themselves effectively (except the public likes Bush, but not Kerry).

Kerry has made great anti-war points, but 89% of Bush voters and 23% of Kerry voters support the Iraq operation.

Bush has hit two homers and a standup double, which I identified upthread.

I give it to Bush 3-1

[Sooth2222]

Tradesports now has Bush Futures +1.3, Kerry Futures -2.6.

[Keyes2000mt]

My scorecard 11-5: Bush winning.

Holy crap!

Did Kerry just suggest we shut down OUR nuclear programs to be consistent with those we are trying to stop?

Is he insane or what?

TEll me, did I understand Kerry right?

[Indie]

Tough for a straigh-talker to defeat the expert liar [lawyer] that EFnK is.
Lehrer pitched a softball to Bush asking if tehre were character issues that should keep Kerry from the presidency and he struck out,
This is sad.

But what is really sad is that there are those who are using this to make up their minds.

Our country is in trouble because it is half full of morons.

[coconutt2000]

There simply is no way we can do what Kerry stated.

That's true for 99.9% of what John Kerry promises.

[Terp]

OK, I'm not watching. My question is, out of the two who's coming across as more likable and trustworthy?
