"BOTTOM LINE: Kerry lies much more convincingly than Bush tells the truth."

Yep, the little friggin traitor had a pretty good night to get his treason viewpoints across.

"I watched the debate and thought W. got whooped...My wife thinks Bush stomped him."


Well it's obvious who is the more politically saavy in your house!

Heyyy, you've got a point there. I'm going to stock up on Vinsanto for the next debate. I plan to ask the store owner if he'd like to donate to FR since I've done soooo much business with him in the last few months.

Ummm, what does it mean when you're wearing glasses and still have trouble focusing?

Kerry probably rushed over to the KGB building after the Soviet Union fell to grab his payroll records.

Kerry's supporters will lap up forceful. In fact, others will too.

I felt that Bush was too complimentary of Kerry and company. That was a major mistake.

Kerry has not attended national security briefings. Bush said countless times, 'you saw the same briefings I did'. By so doing, he gave Kerry a complete pass on his attendence at briefings. Ouch!

Just called a few friends to see how W did...THEY were extremely disappointed and thought Kerry looked and sounded more presidential....I'm heart sick, just heart sick...dang it! I thought I was the only one, but those friends confirmed my suspicion...BUMMER!

Me too. Kerry is a loser and Bush is a great leader but this debate ended up making Bush look really weak. Stuttering and repeating himself and losing track of what he was saying NOT making all the good points he could have and should have made. Definitely a bummer.

I thought it was Dzherzhinsky Square, where KGB (Moscow Center) is located, named after "Iron Feliks." Good catch, though. My brother-in-law thought I'd be the only one that caught that.

I am afraid I would be banned from FR if I drank Jameson's Irish Whiskey.

I have red hair, and an Irish temper to go along with it.

I just hit abuse on barlowmaker, second time in my FRlife.

I do appreciate that txflake. I would have done it, but it's really not my style. Thank you.

I just couldn't help but notice, the AM declined to remove it after being notified.

I posted an honest opinion and this is how he responded.

""I'll be honest too. This debate does not look good for President Bush.""

President Bush hasn't slurred a Mexican yet, so the dumbest Freeper thinks it doesn't look good. Get lost freak.

It appears this type of thing is sanctioned. Most anyone else would have been given a time out, or out right banned.

Thanks again for stepping up tx. It was truly an unprovoked, vile, ugly attack. Thanks....

Kerry said no less than five times tonight that Korea developed the nuclear bomb on Bush's watch. Bush never refuted that. Just damn!

Yes. Bush missed some great opportunities tonight.

It really angers me that the worst candidate can come out looking better because the better one can't articulate an argument. Unreal.

Bush should have kicked Kerry's butt, and he didn't. I'm disgusted.

Yes. It was clearly a prewritten, rehearsed speech.

Let's face it. Bush is not a master of flowery speech and sophistry. He's about action, a complex man with simple ideas. Kerry is the polar opposite in every way.

KTLA talking head democrat says it was a slight win for Kerry but Bush didn't need to win. He's the incumbent and this debate was close enough to not hurt Bush.

I agree with his point about incumbency but I think Bush won.

Dittos. But see below!



Debate is over.

Percy Dovetonsils "won". No doubt he can twist words any way but Sunday. But, never would want to have my daughter stuck with a guy like him.

I am gonna vote for the guy who walks the walk, but is linguistically challenged about blowing his own horn. I prefer substance in men, not stream-of-conscious sentiment of the moment.

For those of you who like manicures, tube-tans nicely covered by make-up, and wind-surfers who marry rich widows and like to tell tall tales about how they can do it better than the one who gets stuck doing it, vote for the gigolo.
