October 8th Bush/Kerry Debate

[silent_jonny]

Agreed with what you said. Fox isn't totally in the toilet yet. They can salvage themselves by cutting O'Reilly, Colmes, Juan Williams and "moderate" hand-wringers like Bill Kristol. And may I also make this suggestion to Fox: Do you want to quadruple your ratings? Then give this lady a show of her own.

Say 8pm weeknights?

I still think Gibson might have been getting back at Kerry a little with his choice of questions.

Remember Kerry basically called him a liar when Gibson said he saw Kerry throw his medals over the fence.

You just don't get the monopsonistic buyer free loader syndrome do you? Do you really think drug companies price discriminating against American drug consumers and taxpayers is something that should be tolerated?

Well in all fairness to MSNBC . they are joking and saying it's not a very scientific poll .. so I think they know what's going on

Check out the Flippers standing behind Harold Finemen .. *L*

Bush is falling FAST on tradesports.com Was at around 60 before the debates, below 57 now I don't see why, but the perception is that W was trounced

I visit tradesports a couple of times a day and tonight, for the first time, it is running at a snail's pace. For a few bucks (say, 10) you can move that poll. I believe, with a high degree of confidence, that tradesports is being bombarded by the same folks who are targeting all of the online polls. All they do is render them useless. Time to go buy a few more shares of Bush. At this rate, I won't need another tax cut -- but I'll take it!

Oh, by the way, note the number who have purchased Bush (500,000 +) and those who have purchased Kerry (<30,000). Says a lot.

You didn't realize that Kerry and the dims are all master debaters? :O)

Rove was great. I wish that they would roll what he said to Sean, the concise listing of sKerry's voting record starting with voting against the 1st Gulf war into W's next closing remarks. It was fantastic. He just whipped out about 10 fantastic inconsistencies...exactly what the President needs to wow the audience with next time. If his advisers are saying it....?

[Sparky760]

Am I living in Bizzaro world here. These idiots are reporting all kinds of polls saying Kerry won....Bush wiped the floor with Kerry tonight and then booted him out the door. Bush was in total command.

At one point he practically told Gibson to sit down and shut up while I respond to these lies.....Someone correct me if I'm wrong here Kerry said at one point the supreme court uses the law to interpet the constitution. Isn't it the other way around? Maybe I am not thinking clear which is possible since I have now entered inverted world.

[Gucho]

It is really sad to watch MSM look at the camera and downright lie how Kerry won tonight's debate. This must be what it's like to watch Al-Jezeera.

[whadizit]

After Sean's reaction following the lst Bush/Kerry debate, I do not look to him for credibility anymore. In fact, listening to the after- debate programs is a waste of time...Dems. are enthusiastic about their guy and Reps. are the same about W. Nothing learned here.

"I didn't believe the excuses last week that President Bush was tired from his visit to Hurricane ravaged Florida. After seeing his performance tonight I think that what they said was true. This was a completely different George W. Bush. No comparison. Go G.W.!!!!! You did a great job."


President Bush was like a boxer pumped for the fight. He was rested and ready to land some blows. He fought with Gibson for time to reply. I liked his verve. By two thirds of the way through he was bobbing and weaving and fast on his feet in the ring. He was enjoying himself and said it at the end. Bush is a fighter and loves to win. He knew he was winning and had gotten Kerry rattled.

This is important to know about the first debate: It was more than visiting the hurricane survivors that tired Bush out. That was planned in advance and he took that into account. What was not planned was a threat of an anthrax attack on the hurricane devastated area. This is a little known event. Bush had not planned for that but he took it stride as part of the job. He was up early the day of the debate and was being briefed by FEMA on the anthrax threat. Plans for evacuation of the area were being readied. The threat had to be contained and it didn't matter if he needed to sleep or if the debates were scheduled for that evening. Bush has commited himself to deal with terrorist threats.

As it turned out the anthrax terrorist attack was verified to be a hoax. It was conveniently timed, of course, and occupied a lot of the president's time and robbed him of much needed sleep. That is why he looked tired that night's debate. He was exhausted and gave of himself to take care of a threatened attack.

This item didn't get much play. I read about it here, on the 5000+ post first debate thread, from a freeper whose house was damaged by the hurricane. That freeper was there on the ground in Florida and knew what happened. The news stayed local. Bush didn't get any glory for being a man of his word and meeting the threat where he was. Yet he took a big hit for his sacrifice in being exhausted for the first debate. In all this he never complained or made excuses. Bush just got up and pummeled Kerry tonight.

This is how the market will correct: If the amount of drugs selling at a discount to the US from Canada begin to hurt the manufacturers bottom line they will just discontinue selling the drugs to Canada. This possibility has been suggested by several of the major drug makers.
