I agree. But this is politics. You can have the best positions on planet earth, but if you can't communicate them to voters, you are probably going to lose elections.
I've heard Bush give some of the best speeches I've heard in my life.
And I still say that considering the vast amount of material Kerry supplied when it came to his, flip-flops, contradictions and lies, there was no excuse for Bush not being better prepped for the debate.
It's not good or bad, but I think W got tired of the bullsh*t.
"What am I doing here?"
When you wake up every morning and see the narrow escapes we Americans enjoy daily from major mass murder ... being patient with a poofter like Kerry is the toughest thang in life.
Sure be a pessimist. I thought Bush won hands down. Why get exorcised over NewsWeek and Matt Drudge.?
Drudge is no friend to Bush. So he'll enjoy tweaking the Bushies even if NewsWeek offers crap
...and watch the negative freepers swallow Drudge's sludge hook line and sinker.
But his great speeches were done without some a--hole standing next to him calling him a liar and; to coin a prase from Bill O"rielly, "bloviating".
