PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE III (live thread)

10.13.04 | Joe, and the rest of FR.

[Joe Hadenuf]

45 minutes to go. If there is already a live debate thread go ahead and delete this.

I understand posting a live thread has become a somewhat of a political ordeal here, when it shouldn't be. So to take the pressure off, I'm posting this anyway. Do I dare? LOL!

What the heck are you proposing Kerry?

[Otta B Sleepin]

Did Kerry just say he's passed 56 bills

He said his name's not on all of them. No proof of what he claims.

[ventana]

This is a disaster for Bush because CBS is lobbing softballs at Kerry and allowing him to attck Bush without proving his (Kerry's) record. Up for grabs per the CBS questions is Bush's record, not Kerry's. Plus, the questions are posed: When you are President Mr. Kerry will you......

That sets him up as already being the prez. CBS, the toll bells for you. V's wife

[Perdogg]

BUSH IS WINNING, KERRY IS WHINNING.

I'm a billionaire, and I have BCBC.

No Kerry is on to the VA health being underfunded. That's more BS.

[Amore]

Yes. He was not long for this world, either way.

[Salamander]

At 10:30 the Rat voting bots will leap into action and give the win to kerry by 90%.

I hope and pray to God Almighty that the American public is not so stupid to vote based on who the "polls" say won the debates.

Sometimes it depresses me so much I can't stand it.
How can they get with SO much fraud, so often and no one ever tries to stop them?

I feel like I'm living in some bizarre Orwellian nightmare.

[GOP_1900AD]

He's a man after my heart with that comment. He gets it.

[Peach]

Bush: (Re something Kerry lied about) : We increased VA funding by some huge percentage (forget the number). Veterans are getting better health care under my administration.

[Howlin]

Yes, he did. 56.

[Slyfox]

Did Kerry just say he's passed 56 bills?

Yeah, in 20 years. I sure am impressed.

[TexKat]

How will Sen. Kerry pay for his health care plan?

Kerry: Buy into the same healthplan as the senators have if they so choose.

GWB: Its not so credible to quote leading news org.

Luna? report. 8 million people will go from private insurance to government run health care. Poor quality health care.

Kerry: I am not proposing a government run health care.

[Taffini]

health care magic...i want some mr botox

[jrcats]

De-Plan, De-Plan, he has a better plan, he has another plan, I'm sick of all his plans.

[TonyInOhio]

As much as I hate to say it, we aren't "firing on all cylinders" tonight like we were in the 2nd debate (where W crushed Skerry).

Then don't say it, 'cause, respectfully, you're full of crap.

[eleni121]

Twice as much increase to the VA than the unmentionable big creep of the 90s

[ssaftler]

Good question. As in the first two debates, Bush is coming across as Presidential; that is, he is talking about decisions. Kerry is coming across as Senatorial; that is, he is talking about talking more and more.

Which do we want? A talker or a doer. (And Bush has his numbers down tonight!)

[chronic_loser]

Govt picks up big part of the bill, you say you can pay for it, he says no

Kerry: the newsies say it is true. Not a gov't plan, you choose what you want. I have a better plan. take over medicare kids. states CAN cover (we give em money) to go 300% of poverty. buy into medicare early. give business a 50% tax credit to buy in. uses early detetion of diabetes

Bush
not sure if it credible to quote leading news organizations.
quotes some Lumen??? report. Huge costs. Removes private incentives for insurance. Gov't run health leads to poor quality health, rationing. Basic philosophy difference

Kerry:
attacks on VA?
Bush: I spend money on VA.

[bitt]

kerry is a doofus and is very disrespectful to the President.
