To: 1-Eagle Bush sounds like a decent, plain speaking guy. Gore sounds like a infomercial slickster.

To: hole_n_one I'm not voting for either - but Gore is coming across as a big pr*ck. Bush has to start swinging back.

To: JulieRNR21 Gore is clearly energized and is carrying the fight. Hes stomping all over the debate rules and just blubbering away. Albeir effectively. W is holding his own but as of right now hes losing. Sorry. I call em as I see em.

To: hole_n_one wow. this is painful. gore is cleaning his clock, because somebody told bush that under no circumstances should bush call gore the lying sack that he is. nor does bush get sufficiently angry to stop gore's interruptions. actually, i'd be kind of happy right now to simply see bush wander over and beat the living hell out of gore.

To: hole_n_one Bush is stumbling on his answer about how/when he would use U.S. troops...should be a slam dunk on this issue...

OH Jeez, It has been a long day.

[tame]

And his make-up, and his wooden mannerisms, and getting in Bush's face...etc.

Yes, Gore tried that TERRIBLE, shameful Reagan impersonation to subliminally sway swing voters, and to hold onto Reagan Democrats.

How pathetically contrived.

i believe God will save us from these evil leftists by giving Bush a clear majority (maybe even a modest landslide) on November 2.

[proust]

So if history is repeating itself in Bush's debates, can we look forward to 6 weeks of Florida recounts?

[Jorge]

i get the debates mixed up, sometimes, but wasn't the lame Gore-walking-over-to-Bush during the town hall debate?

Yes. Gore looked like a total loon.

I loved Bush's response. He stopped talking, and gave Gore one of those head to foot looks (like what the hell are you doing over here?) and then went back to speaking.

I thought Bush handled himself much better during most of those debates.

yup. Bush did good during those debates. He was relaxed.

[Polybius]

The only thing people are going to take from this debate are Kerry's "Global Test" and his desire to give nuclear material to Iran.

Here's another thing they can take away:

"I have a very consistent policy in regards to Iraq. When I speak in front of an anti-war group, I am against the war. When I speak in front of a pro-war group, I am for the war. That is not a flip-flop. That is pandering. America deserves a President that knows the difference!"...........Saturday Night Live skit, 2 October 2004

LOL! That is great.
