Thread 1 - Pre-Debate discussion

Kerry just broke rules. No more debates.

[A Citizen Reporter]

Kerry is now refering to the war he returned from without referring to Vietnam.

OK, Kerry says to find his plan we must all go to JohnKerry.com!

[Jet Jaguar]

Kerry has little to no support from the troops.

Bush is loved by the troops.

Kerry is misleading

[Right_in_Virginia]

I think this is debate is going very well.

For whom?

[Peach]

Why Rove didn't have Bush memorize 6-7 or more statements, contradictory statements, that Kerry has made in the past about Iraq is a mystery.

[justshutupandtakeit]

This should be stopped on a TKO Bush is wiping the floor with this yoyo. Kerry's trapped in an irresolvable contradiction Create a Winning Coalition for the Wrong War at the Wrong time. Bold leadership to ?

[kendu]

Did you know he has a plan

[Central Scrutiniser]

Kerry was in Vietnam?


I didn't know that, hmmm?

[kristinn]

Kerry's BS is tough to plow through. But Bush is tougher. Hang in there.

[Toespi]

This is his plan?

[Carolinamom]

Kerry promises WHATS.......never explains HOWS

[connor_in]

...VIETNAM...DRINK

Good God!!!!!! These drinking game people are gonna get alcohol poisoning!!!!!!!!!

[CurlyBill]

Kerry taking notes, using note pad....violation of debate rules. Who will call him on it?

I think he's just playing with a spirograph back there.

[Emzloh]

Hmmmm i think kerry must've given lehrer some man lovin back stage before this thing started....

[bitt]

W missed the chance to say, 'not 100 soldiers lost, 4000 including the 3,000 in WTC."

[Paradox]

Bush is simply not a good debater, but the American people know that already. As long as he holds his ground, he'll do alright. Kerry can "win" this technically, and gain a few points in the polls for a while. In the end, however, people know that being a good debater does not equal a good President.

[ican'tbelieveit]

Did I tell you I fought in Vietnam? Why did Kerry bring up Israel?

[Keyes2000mt]

Bush winning 7-2.

[BradyLS]

It seems Bush is getting so infuriated with this freak's audacity that he's not thinking straight. I'm praying for Bush. G-d help him! And show Kerry for the fraud that he is.

I agree. The President is taking this very personally and it's affecting his delivery. Kerry is coming off very slick. His rhetorical skills are showing and he's using it them to say anything that sounds good, regardless of whether it's the truth or not.

[mylife]

Kerry just invoked "pottery Barn"
