Please pass this around to your lists.
Thanks!
So, you're saying we're not doomed?
Amen to that. Funny how the handwringers are often the last ones who would think about truly getting involved.
I've been doing volunteer work for the past 3 weeks and will continue to do so. We've had q uite a few women come in. One black lady show up on the first day I did and said she's tired of those idiotic dems, lol.
While I think the president could have done a better job of going after kerry, that hasn't changed my mind about the president.
PING
You have it right. Kerry gave the GOP many great sound bites to use.
Kerry had all his "70's notes" transcribed into Microsoft Word recently. These notes were the basis for Kerry's entire debate plan. Which is displayed above.
How is giving Iran tons of fissile material a superior position? Didn't Klintong do that in N. Korea? Look where we are now.
Well, I expect the Bush people to put this spin on the debate. According to every poll I've seen this morning, Ol' Horse teeth went from a "favorablity" rating of 38% to a rating of almost 70%.
We need to admit that we got our butt kicked last night. The Prez was tired and under prepared. Political junkies like us view this in a different light from the average Joe Six Pack and, sad to say, Joe Six Pack thinks sKerry won by a 2 to 1 margin. Let's roll up our sleeves and work harder than ever before. In 2000, Karl Rove underestimated the Sigh Young Award winnner, Al Gore, and it almost cost us the election. It did cost us the popular vote.
Now, let's go kick some butt.
PhiKap Mom, I was truely surprised at the hystronics here last night my goodness. I watched most of the debate and saw a President who had a vision and plan for this nation ,who spoke with clarity and purpose, then I listened to man who said he had a plan but did not tell us what that plan would be.except to withdraw our troops and go begging to the UN when we are again attacked.
we would have to pass some sort of test? and the topper was the plan of madness to give Iran nuclear fuel??? disarm our military even more??
next thing you know kerry will have a plan for all of us to learn the koran and learn arabic. maybe even give our country to the UN to run. I was alarmed by what kerry was saying to the country his vision is that of a wannbe dictator.
When all the gabbering class is done disecting the debates I think we are going to be hearing a lot of alarm at kerry's scary plan for the nation.
Exactly right....DON'T JUST SIT AT YOUr PC FRUSTRATED OVER THE MEDIA BIAS....get out there & win this one big time for Dubya.
We owe it to our grandchildren to keep GWB at the helm of our ship of state.
Bush is the best one to steer our nation through the stormy seas of global terrorism!
BTW this Philly columnist will give the 'Gloomy Gusses' a shot of optimism:

Conservatives are so funny. They seem to think that Bush has lost every debate he's ever participated in until proven otherwise.
People in the "punditrocacy" are giving the debate win to Kerry, and who knows, maybe by some official tally they could be right. But the real win, from where I sit, is that the President seemed resolute and sincere. I'm thinking a lot of people will have taken note of that difference--sincerity v. pomposity--and vote for the sincere candidate.
Amazingly, I'm hearing some say that the President was "smirking." I never saw that happen, but I did see Kerry SNEER a great deal. He just really thinks he's better than the President--not just the President, but all of us, too. I really think people notice that, and few will like it.
bttt
No hand-wringing here. I started to, before I really "listened" to what kerry was saying. (He's a good debator...that's it. Works for a Senator...not a President.) I can't believe he is faulting the President for not bringing in "the world" to Iraq. (...as if he didn't attempt to gather the support.)
Then, in the next breath, he faults President Bush for not rushing into N. Korea.
Thank you for bringing clarity to the debates.
There I was, sitting on the edge of my expensive leather chair with a large martini in my hand. Of course, going into this important debat I had been on the fence for weeks.
I don't know what it was that finally convinced me last night. God knows I wasn't thinking straight because usually during sporting events I need the frequent commercials to clear my mind. (Of course I forget the entire story line when it resumes.)
And then it happened. My President was looking me in the eye and talking about sending mixed messages. After about the fourth or fifth time he mentioned those mixed messages, I decided that I had to vote for him.
Senator Kerry looked very senatorial. His backbone had been starched. The traces of Man Tan had been expunged from his craggy countenance. He had taken three or four sleeping pills so that he would look refreshed. Botox had been injected under his deep-set eyes. He was, indeed, a new man; a presidential contender speaking in a well modulated voice. This guy would make an excellent anchor. (But then his boat(s) already have anchors.)
He droned on and one, punching and counterpunching our tired President's weak verbal thrusts.
Our president's eyes looked tired and bloodshot, his un-Botoxed bags sagged, his skin looked sallow, his tiredness caused him to hang on the podium, he looked purplexed as if wondering why he had to submit himself to this torture and pounding being administered by the strong, tall man whose lifetime ACU voting is zero. Even lower than Ted's.
In the end, the President breathed a sigh of relief. He shook hands with the tall, strong, Vietnam hero, and his expression brightened as he watched his wife and daughters mount the podium.
In his mind he knew this ordeal was over. He could get some sleep tonight and get back into harness early morning doing what he was elected to do: the people's business and fighting terror with a new vigor.
His worthly liberal opponent watched as his heiress wife waddled up the stairs to the podium leading his dysfunctional family to meet their father and step-father. It was then I detected the Boxtoxed eyes droop, the corners of his mouth sag. He knew he'd have to take more sleeping powders tonight and wished he hadn't used the last of his stash of smack.
However he did pass the "world" test and has passed many other tests by passing them on to some one else.
Has a lot of the things that I was upset about last night on it!
How long before the Kerry managers start coming out and saying< Well, this is really what the Senator met!"?????????????
This is a point we all need to get a grip on. Last night's debate was what the whole campaign would have been if Dean had won the nomination: A serious, ideological debate between an appeasenik and a war president with a confident vision. No silly extras. Not even a "There you go again" moment, not that it would have been bad to have one. And that's why Dubya won it, because you had a dove spouting Michael Moore fantasies and eight different positions against a tough guy who lives in the real world.
bttt!
I despise Kerry. He scares the hell out of me. He's an evil liar who will destroy this country.
