Why didn't Jim Lehrer ask a single question of John Kerry about his opposition to every major weapons system, and for his support of a US unilateral nuclear freeze during the Cold War, not to mention his assessment that communism cannot be beaten and we shouldn't even try?

Yes, inquiring minds want to know why none of these quesstions were asked of Nuancyboy. Oh, but that's right. Lehrer is true blue RAT.

I have another question regarding the debate. Why did President Bush agree to any debates at all? He is the sitting President of the United States. Why should he have to debate some upstart challenger not once, but THREE times? It's demeaning and pointless. Such an activity can only help the challlenger--if you don't believe me, ask Jimmy Carter. President Bush should have shown some cojones, laid it on the line and said in effect, "Look, I refuse to debate Mr. Kerry. There's no point in it, and I'm not known as a great public speaker anyway. Judge me by my actions, not by some song and dance at a podium. If anyone wants to vote against me because I won't take part in such a demeaning activity, so be it." Face it, the guy has a few bucks in the bank; it's not like he NEEDS the presidential gig, anyway. Just some thinking outside the box.

The President looked rattled and unfocused the entire night. Who in the world prepped him? Kerry left himself wide open for attacks and Bush did nothing. I hope Mrs. Bush will do the same thing Mrs. Reagan did after her husband's debacle in his first debate in 1984, and that is to call in the troops, give them a tongue lashing, and come up with a gameplan to avoid another debacle in the next debates.

Calling this a debate is a misnomer. What it amounted to was GWB having to defend himself.

Jim Lehrer is a leftist dimocrat. He went in having no intention of being even handed. He stuck it to the President and gave Fing Kerry a free ride.

Lehrer had an agenda and the truth about the senator from MA was not going to get in the way.

Great read. I disagree with this:

Unfortunately, most voters will never hear of this record because this year's lone debate devoted to foreign policy failed to lay out the relevant facts.

That last bit is up to us. We need to make sure people hear about Kerry's record.

Why didn't George Bush?
