Hugh on fire with the correct analysis on last night's debate.
Perhaps we should also compare Kerry to Neville Chamberlain. He believed negotiations could work. So much so, that he felt certain Hilter was an honest man who would keep his word and not continue the German advancement. England would stay out of the war and remain safe. YEAH RIGHT!!!!Appeasment, a proven method!!!!!!
...Dingle/Norwood... It will sink 'em every time.
Do you also think clinton should be in jail for perjury and obstruction of justice?
"talk about repetition!"
seems to be YOUR forte . . .
The Iraq Survey Group under Charles Duelfer will be issuing its final report sometime this month. I will be surprised if it does not reveal some as-yet undisclosed information about the fate of Saddam's WMDs which will have the effect of blowing Kerry and the left's mantra about "wrong war" off the planet.
Exactly.
Hugh started here and Mort Kondracke is on and saying what he said on Fox. Hugh telling him, and playing clips, why he thinks Kerry will be creamed for what HE said.
Mort goes to Bush saying whatever, and Hewitt picks up where Rush left off (not by design since Hugh made his point last night) and says Kerry must be held by his statements. Everybody wants to say "but Bush said...". Hewitt is playing another clip for Mort.
You're right. The DNC may be playing now just to prevent a complete blowout.
I've been holding back my opinion of the debates until I had time to digest it a little.
Well, here goes. Initial impression was Kerry won. Not until I downloaded the transcript and reviewed what Kerry actually said that I concluded Kerry is in big trouble.
Our(Freepers) job now is to broadcast to anyone that will listen what KERRY SAID!
Hey AM.....look what crawled in the back door.
Among his "other things:" "Pres. Clinton will go down in history as one of our greatest presidents!"
He was defensive about charges that he wants to pull out...said he only wants to start to pull out in 6 mos.
Kerry will not be constrained by logic or consistency in his rhetoric, but he is glib, which got him through last night. If Kerry won a victory last night, it was very shallow, and based in the fleeting televised images. Bush owned the logic and substance hands down.
Inasmuch as Kerry is a walking psychological freak show, any emboldenment on his part could make for some interesting entertainment down the road.
btt
a lie that was never told?

I was a little dismayed watching the debates last night.
Kerry was so pugnacious, Bush appeared to be on the defensive.
The remark about the WORLD TEST turned it around completely for me.
It seemed like Bush was letting Kerry get away with a lot but then I started focusing in on the strategy.
Kerry was like a feather weight boxer. He peppered Bush with insubstantial blows, not much power but lots of them.
Bush took a slower more measured approach. Instead of trying to deflect 50 meaningless punches, Bush let them land and then hauled off and cracked Kerry right on the chin on the most important of Kerry's remarks.
The WORLD TEST, was a classic Kerry gaffe. Bush came back and it was a near TKO.
When you look at the debates in their totality
Kerry's position was you screwed up and I have a plan. Try to think of something memorable that he said other than his flubbs. You can't.
Bush on the other hand nailed Kerry on
1) not respecting our current allies
2) not respecting the interim prime minister Alawi
3) sending mixed messages to the troups
4) vacilating is not leadership
5) America first on security and no global test
6) Kerry didn't know the nuclear product involved in Korea and was for bilateral talks the process that has already failed
7)Kerry wants to repeat the mistakes of Korea with Iran, providing them with fissionable material
Kerry didn't do one of the most important things he needed to accomplish and that was to come across LIKEABLE. He looked like an old transvestite passing in mens clothing.
He brought up Vietnam again in the context of Iraq. If you think like me, my first thought was he's gonna betray the troops again, not as Kerry would have hoped: I am a hero.
Bush wasn't flashy but I think he did one hell of a job.
Not even 24 hours since the debates began and it is in fact Kerry's statements that are wilting under the glare of inspection.
Bush's statements, based on truth as they are, remain firm.
Speaking of war criminals...Kerry confessed back in '71.
Hey, troll. You done Ratted yourself out with your comments. But, I feel sorry for you having to defend JFK. Perhaps treatment could help you overcome your inferiority complex. Go home.
