This was a great debate for Bush, he really trounced Kerry.

Kerry dropped the ball, and Bush is now running for a touchdown. Did you see Bush overflowing with enthusiasm when he spoke of Afghan holding free elections? Kerry was just, to coin a phrase, more of the same. The same calculating, contrived statistics to pony up the dough in the battleground states.

I agree that the remarks by both Edwards and Kerry about Ms. Cheney were flat out wrong to bring up.

THEY MISUNDERESTIMATED BUSH.

AGAIN!!!

From the start Kerry looked tired, baggy-eyed, gray, old, and got slower

When the botox wears off, it is like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

And it was beyond hilarious, to listen to the squealing little piglets, yelling that it was a clean sweep for Kerry...won hands down!!!!

Even if they had carried him off the stage on stretcher, dead from a coronary arrest, HE STILL WOULD HAVE WON. As we know, dead Democrats are no different from LIVE ONES. THEY BOTH VOTE!!!!

Oh yeah! I did like Bush's genuine happiness for the results in Afghanistan. That was quite a moment.

Well, the small bit of good is that usually dead Dems don't actually run for office.....

W was brilliant tonight. It was amazing how "real" he was from start to finish. His voice was at the exact pitch similar to the speech of Sept. 18th, 2001 and the same look as when he gave that confident, serene twinkle as he threw out the first pitch in NY during the 2001 World Series...and nailed it.

His answer about strong women was first funny, then touching and ended with an endearing "...love at first sight."

And while there are so many Kerry goofs and disingenious projection, three things stand out:

Kerry's answer about his strong wife was to talk about his dead mother, then makes a joke using the RR quote "married up" - tacky and only Bob Schiefer really dug the joke.

During the debate and at least three times in his closing argument, Kerry used the word "ideer" with what seemed obviously some juvenile ploy to appeal to the midwest (and other parts) and how he's just a regular guy.

And the fact that in Kerry's closing statement, he talked mostly about Iraq and terrorism while W did a 5-star close that was meticulous, genuine, from the heart and hit both domestic and foreign points, all within a theme of optimism, and ending with, "I'm asking for your vote" and unlike Kerry's "God Bless America" a sincere "...and God Bless you."

W wiped the floor with Kerry and no matter what happens Nov. 2, will be a performance that will define the differences not just between the two men but the two partiesfor a very long time.

Kerry quoting scripture in the 3rd presidental debate is both sickening and funny....

It is funny because he makes a fool of himself when he tries to quote it in this case he added the word "body"...
which sounds really funny if one knows the verse...

When I heard the debate...first thing I thought of was "that's not right"

Kerry from debate:
"I was taught -- I went to a church school and I was taught that the two greatest commandments are: Love the Lord, your God, with all your mind, your body and your soul, and love your neighbor as yourself."

It should be:

And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.

or

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.

or

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.

"body" not used in this passage...This sure makes Kerry look what he really is.....really phony.

It is also sickening to listen to Kerry quote scripture... Kerry clearly does not believe that the ultimate Lawgiver has any purpose in the laws of the government. "can not impose his beliefs on others"

For every Law there is a Lawgiver. This law is written on our hearts. "in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them."

If one can write a law not to steal, not to kill innocent life, and to stop at a stop sign so as to not hurt someone (a stop sign is a moral law, we are imposing the belief we shouldn't hurt other people on others),
Mr. Kerry, why can't we write a law not to brutally dismemeber a baby piece by piece?

Bush will add several points to his lead in many states, and the CNN/ABC etc bunch will have failed to get any bias injected into the polls.

Nice additional observations you have there. Kerry even looked sour at the end, he KNEW he had been hammered.

LOL! Kerry doesn't know when to shutup! He just drones on and on and mostly repeated the same thing he says all of the time. He sucked.
