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.

What a lot of you Freepers have to realize is that for many on the Right, they want Bush to run a negative, harsh smash mouth campaign. Since Kerry is doing that and Bush isn't they think "Kerry is winning" No, he isn't. See what those on the Right who want to punch back 20 times for every punch thrown by Kerry don't understand, Kerry isn't winning any in the middle tonight. That is no way to win the middle. Bush comes off as serious and mature, Kerry as a arrogant know it all. This performance by Kerry will not win him ANY votes with the Ladies. By his performance tonight Kerry just lost the election. See, many of you don't remember the Reagan-Mondale debates. All the "Experts" said the same thing about Mondale you all are saying about Kerry. The problem was while Mondale was wining the debate on style, Reagan was wining on substance. Kerry just lost the election because of his mean spirited negativity. Kerry needed to give us a "Softer gentler" Kerry and he blew it.

"Lehrer pitched a softball to Bush asking if tehre were character issues..."

That softball was a land mine which the President was smart enough to swat away. This could have been a disasterous talking point for all the media, if he had come off as nasty or sneering. He handled it just right.

Failing to call KErry on his lies has nothing to do with wanting Bush to run a negative debate or campaign. What planet are you on?? Since when is standing up for the truth being negative?

I also disagree with the fact that anyone who wishes Bush had done better is somehow betraying the country...

Hey like I said..and anyone that's ever been on a witness stand will agree...it is tough to out talk a TRAINED LIAR=LAWYER, no matter how smart you are.

Bush had opportunities to expose the truth and missed them, and that is not advocating a "negative" position.

The fact remains, any idiot who doesn't yet know who they are voting for is a pathetic excuse for a human being.
