Debate Reaction As expected, the national press is in "Kerry won" mode. They are so easy to predict. They are all buzzed about the fact that Kerry seemed confident and presidential. I have not yet read a word about what he actually said. I paid attention to his points, and they were pure leftist pablum. I don't believe last nights debate will change much. Kerry is still an awful, awful candidate. Bush looked a bit tired at points. It may have been a mistake to allow him to engage in emotionally draining visits with Florida hurricane victims earlier in the day because the Bush camp knows that the press will focus on superficial and stylistic things.
Kerry's positions, even if he spoke confidently about them, still made no sense. He contradicted himself yet again. And this makes democrats proud?
As a conservative, I wish George Bush would have put Kerry away for good last night. But I also wish to win the lottery. I knew going into it that the stakes are too high for the press. They are laying it all on the line for Kerry. But where they are making a big mistake is misunderestimating (George Bush lingo) the voters. The press believe that the voters are stupid, ignorant, and easily swayed. But they fail to understand that just about everyone has already made up their minds about Kerry. He is an unlikeable candidate and a truly awful person. All the press can do is lie for him, not change who he is.
I predicted this a month ago, that no matter how good Bush does the MSM will say Kerry won.....
My reation is beebered.
I think it was a "HUGH" success for President Bush.
I am "vey series."
When I was leaving Tiajunna, I heard about the debate, as a customes agent came up to me he told me he thought Kerry was better, well that just stuned my beeber...
I'm with you. It'd do no good to nuke Kerry in a debate. Kerry does a good job all by himself.
Stuning prefromance.
I agree that Bush looked tired. He is usually in bed at the time they were having this so called debate, and I agree that he should not have been touring the hurricane damage.
so you agree, he was stuned.
I am depressed today, the lurch gave W chances to put him away last night, W just didn't take them and I have no faith in the MSM.
I was overhearing three 20-somethings at the breakfast stop this morning. THEY didn't sound too confident in Kerry.
At least they were paying attention. I would have said something, but I was in uniform....
The sad thing is, Kerry is such a liar! So many of the statements he made were false! How can W debate someone who isn't bounded by the truth? I think it really opened W's eyes. So many of the slurs get blamed on the campaigns and the surrogates. W saw first hand that most of the slurs are actually coming from Comrade Kerry himself.
It was sickening.
I think your beeber's being stuned...
I agree... this is what resonated from the debate.
I think the best thing about the debate is that it was utterly forgettable. Who is going to remember a single thing Kerry or Bush said in a week from now? Luckily that's better for Bush than it is for Kerry.
Kerry didn't get a bump when he chose Edwards for VP.
Kerry didn't get a bump from his convention.
Kerry won't get a bump from this debate.
Oh yes. I defianetly agree.
W missed OSAMA in Tora Bora? mmmm Did We, until that slime shows his egotistical face maybe we did maybe we didn't. Osama is much like the Lurch, both have Ego bigger than thier ........ neither can pass up a chance to be on the MSM andinsert thy foot.
What a hugh mistake, only a maroonic looser could take this series...
How can I reate to that? My beeber is stuned.
Kerry did win in that if you want a smooth talking, slick, deceiving, creepy politician he's your man. On the other hand, if you want a REAL honest down-to-earth leader type, Bush is your man.
DON'T BE A GIRLIE MAN - VOTE BUSH!!
