Kerry Lied in Debate

KERRY CLAIMS HE'S "NEVER, EVER" USED WORD "LYING" IN REFERENCE TO PRESIDENT BUSH ON IRAQ.

JIM LEHRER: "New question, Senator Kerry. Two minutes. You've repeatedly accused President Bush, not here tonight but elsewhere before, of not telling the truth about Iraq. Essentially, of lying to the American people about Iraq. Give us some examples of what you consider to be his not telling the truth."
SEN. KERRY: "Well, I've never, ever used the harshest word as you just did." (Sen. John Kerry, First Presidential Debate, Miami, FL, 9/30/04)

BUT IN DECEMBER 2003, KERRY TOLD NEW HAMPSHIRE EDITORIAL BOARD BUSH "LIED" ABOUT REASON FOR GOING TO WAR IN IRAQ. "Kerry also told a New Hampshire newspaper editorial board Friday that Bush had 'lied' about his reasons for going to war in Iraq, a word Kerry has been reluctant to use publicly for months. Yesterday he said he did not plan to use the word again." (Patrick Healy, "Kerry Camp Lowers N.H. Expectations Behind In Polls, Senator Now Seeks Spot In 'Top Two,'" The Boston Globe, 12/8/03)

AND IN SEPTEMBER 2003, KERRY SAID BUSH ADMINISTRATION "LIED" AND "MISLED." "This administration has lied to us. They have misled us. And they have broken their promises to us. The president promised to the people and the Congress that he would build an international coalition, respect the United Nations' process and only go to war as a last resort. I will tell you that from my war fighting experience, I believe there is a test for a president as to how you go to war. And that test is whether or not you can look in the eyes of parents and say to them, 'I did everything possible to avoid the loss of your son and daughter, but we had no other choice in order to protect the security of our nation,' and I know this president fails that test in Iraq." (Sen. John Kerry, Campaign Event, Claremont, NH, 9/20/03)

It is easy to win a debate when you lie. President Bush can not do that. He is ahead in the polls he has to be very carefull.

Can I have a ReWrite™?

President Bush can not do that. He is ahead in the polls a Republican that is not a liberal, so he has to be very carefull.

Kerry lied all over the place. He should have been asked if there was anything more to his platform than bashing Bush. I was let down by the way the people on FOX let Kerry get by with the lies. Big one was the fact that Kerry did call Bush a liar and then lied and said he didn't say it.

Besides going four times by my count to the well to remind us idiots that he served in Vietnam, Kerry dwelled on his rhetorical, "I have a plan...."

Kerry is toast! His reference to the Iraq war as a "grand diversion", his emphasis on passing a "Global Test" with the world will not go well with Americans!

Can't wait for Rush, Sean to shred him to pieces!

FOUR MORE YEARS!!!

That one raised a huge noise at our Debate Watch gathering this evening.

Nuclear fuel to the Mullahs of Iran.

Gee, that sounds like a peace proposal to me. < /sarcasm>

Bush built the container or the house to destroy Kerry.... Kerry is running water---- Bush let him run freely as he prepared the frames of the container to keep the aqueous behavior of Kerry... the house was successfully built...it is ugly and dirty work, that is why Bush worked so hard and let Kerry run.
The container was built on three key principles:
1. Kerry is a flip-flop politician
2. Kerry is a globalist proUN proWorld Court
3. Kerry is anti/weak on defense and poor for morale

Bush contained and framed these key "currents" of this liquid chameleon Kerry. Bush can now beat the hell out of Kerry within the house in which Bush framed. Kerry can't move. The only way for Kerry to escape is by exploding the frame, which will destroy his campaign... he'll have to embrace these "currents"....

Bush has won, he was winning the debates... not the debate.

And you won't hear this until that dark mousy curly haired Krauthammer speaks on Fox... then all the news hacks will pick it up.... and I don't get paid for this... those stupid losers in the beltway press get all the doe.

Oh, because I can't spell

He was in Viet Nam?

My husband says he never saw Kerry there, so therefore, he wasn't there!

Good thing the debate wasn't the week before election. Voters have nearly a month to think about Kerry's words. French Kerry sounded good, but made no sense. Kerry was nothing but a cheap shot artist in the debate.

Kerry lied through the entire debate but Bush could not take time to call him on it. I havn't heard the press call him on any of the lies either. Most of what the jerk Kerry says he will work is being done.

Kerry claims the US is footing 90% of the costs in Iraq, but that he would bring in other nations "to change the dynamics on the ground", whatever that's supposed to mean.

Pray tell, giving Candidate Kerry the broad benefit of the doubt here, what incentive exists for some other country to expose themselves to expense in terms of money and its citizens' lives as well as potentially becoming a terrorist target?

PS -- Please pass along a sincere "thank you" from Chummy and his family. We really appreciate fellas like him.

Kerry's other big mistake was saying that his going to war would have to pass a 'global test'....Bush picked right up on that....and said under his watch no other country would make a decision about the security of America.

Kerry also said Saddam was not a dangerous threat early in the debate then later switched & said he was after Bush quoted some of his previous statements that Saddam was a danger.....I've only heard Rudy Guiliani pick up on that inconsistency.

Of course the media will continue to spin & protect Kerry ....I just hope Americans see through their bias!

I think Nuclear fuel to Iran, "I never used that strong a word", and "a global test" are going to haunt Mr. Kerry...

Kerry's explanation:

I actually said he lied before I said that he didn't lie. And the lie that I'm telling now superseeds the lie that I said that he lied.

In other words even though I said that he lied, that doesn't mean that you can say that I said that he lied, because I just said that I didn't say that he lied and therefore the truth is that I said that I didn't say that he lied.
