President Bush Celebrates Strong Finish at Post-Debate Watch Party in Phoenix, Arizona
George W. Bush ^ | October 13, 2004

Posted on 10/13/2004 9:16:41 PM PDT by RWR8189

Bank1One Ballpark
Phoenix, Arizona

THE PRESIDENT:  Thank you all.

AUDIENCE:  Four more years!  Four more years!  Four more years!

THE PRESIDENT:  Thank you all very much.  I've been to a lot of ballparks in my day, but I've never been to a ballpark filled with so many people who are going to go out and work the vote and make sure we can win in November.  (Applause.)

I am so honored you came out tonight.  I cannot thank you enough for greeting me and Laura and Barbara and Jenna.  It warms our heart and lifts our spirit to be here with so many great American citizens.  Thanks for coming.  You know, when I got here, Laura said, stand up straight, don't scowl, and keep your speech short.  (Laughter.)

I meant what I said about Laura.  I love her dearly.  She's a great First Lady.  (Applause.)  Tonight I tried to give the people a reason to put me back in for four more years, but perhaps the most important reason of all is so that Laura is the First Lady for four more years.  (Applause.) I'm proud to be here with Barbara and Jenna.  I told them, I said, get you some sleep tonight and get back out on the campaign trail.  (Laughter and
applause.)

But thank you all for coming.  I love my family.  I love my country. I love working with John McCain.  I'm so proud to be standing with him here today.  He is -- he and I are going to go to Nevada tomorrow.  We're going to Las Vegas, we're going to Reno, we're going to Oregon.  We're going to travel this country with a message that's hopeful and optimistic and we're going to win.  (Applause.)

I want to thank Cindy McCain, as well, for being here.  I want to thank my friend, Senator John Kyl and Caryll Kyl for being here as well.  I want to thank the members of Congress who are here.  I want to thank my friend Aaron Tippin for providing some -- (Applause.)  Yes.  I want to thank the Arizona Diamondbacks for opening up this fantastic facility for us here today.  (Applause.)

I want to thank the players who are here.  I want to thank the grassroots activists, the people who are going to put up the signs and make the phone calls and turn out the people to vote.  (Applause.)

I know you know this, but you can now cast your ballot for Dick Cheney and me.  Make sure you do so, and get your friends and neighbors to do so.  We need your help.  We need your vote.  We're going to win in November.  (Applause.)

I enjoyed the debate tonight.  It gave me a chance to tell the American people where I want to lead for the next four years.  We'll continue to create jobs.  We'll continue to make sure our schools work. We'll work on health care.  We'll make sure that America is safe and secure by staying on the offensive.  We'll defeat the terrorists overseas so we do not face them here at home.  (Applause.)

And finally, we will never forget the values of this country, our faith, our families.  We will make sure that we continue to hold true to our beliefs that liberty can transform the world.  We long for peace.  We will spread the peace by spreading freedom.

I'm honored that you're here.  Thank you for coming.  May God bless you and may God bless America.  (Applause.)

Each time I try to email CNN international to complaign about their amazing bias during the debate(s), the address is lost or disconnected in cyberspace.

I hope FReepers can phone CNN to complain about the bizarre and totally obvious bias in CNN international coverage.

This coverage is viewed by hundreds of millions of people swallowing it hook, line and s(T)inker.

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you all.

You're more than welcome, Mr.President.

I just saw a new on line poll with Bush at 90% as the winner of tonight's debate. Guess the commies haven't found this one yet. LOL. They're spending all that time spamming polls, but it doesn't change the real numbers. Bush has still won reelection.
Oh well. At least they can dream. It's better than getting a job, right?

Joe tries to put a good spin on the debate

Edwards recovers from the VicePresidential debate


And Teresa envies Lauras slim trim figure

She's saying: "How can I buy some of Laura's class."

You can't Tereza.

"I cannot believe the spin, it is like I watched the wrong debate, depressing!"

Cheer up, they can't change reality no matter how hard they try. It's like millions of people seeing a move they enjoy, and then the critics saying the movie is trash. The people still enjoyed it so the critic's opinion is ignored. I saw the debate too, Bush held his own and Kerry was his usual angry, rhetorical boring self. People see this stuff no matter what CNN says they saw.

Laura has one, but Terezzzza married one.

Thanks Happy. I saw that one of Bush and Kerry on Drudge with Kerry looking disgusted and it inspired me, LOL.

OVER 33,000 GWB supporters filled a stadium for the post-debate celebration -- IGNORE PUSH POLLS (conducted exclusively in the Mountain and Pacific time zones) and focus on the PEOPLE!
