This sure has become a negative thread though. Rather hard to believe these are Bush supporters.

A lot of folks set themselves up for a disappointment. Expectations were too high. Kinda reminds me of Nebraska fans, back in the day, when they only beat Kansas by 25.

Kerrys Performance

[connor_in]

"And he's all set to send troops to Africa.."

and he's gonna add 2 more divisions to the military...

and he's gonna double special forces teams....

how's Kerry gonna do that????
hmmmm...i dunno...maybe A DRAFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kristinn]

This is how Bush is in debates. He actually thinks about what he wants to say. All Kerry has to do is open his mouth and he starts spreading the shinola like he's done all his life.

I too am really concerned about this debate, but I know God is in control. I have, as well as others, prayed for this debate. I am fasting right now. I do think we are too close to this & care too much.

[NoControllingLegalAuthority]

OK, doom and gloomers, who is going to change his/her mind just because of a debate? The President has a track record which is consistent. It's a clear record. Kerry has no clear position and no track record of leadership to give him credibility as someone who can accomplish difficult tasks.

I don't know why so many are thinking voters would toss aside all reality just because the President is not a super debater.

[Taffini]

kerry is doing a clinton and changing his hair color. it lookd a lot grayer

[LNewman]

Off wife shopping?

At Pottery Barn ... apparently he broke something there. It made a BIG impression.

[GVnana]

Bush is starting to hit his stride.

i cant watch and just asked for a "who is ahead" but havent gotten a reply so far. crap! i figure if w was kicking butt id have reply after excited reply. crap ;(

[4bushinOH]

Wow..i'm getting depressed...GWB is not doing well...Optimism is good but reality rules...i agree he's making some good points but he is not answering back to Kerrys charges well at all...Kerry is laying his plan out and not being challenged

The reality is Kerry is going to get a bounce from this..and that is a major bummer to me!

[lyingisbetter]

Bush needs to keep correcting what Kerry says.
It's gotta be hard to keep up with Kerry's attacks!
Monday QBing is easy.
Monday QBing with distortions are even easier.
Good job President!!

Highly likely there are some trolls among us. I was pinged to a thread about FR upgrades over the weekend.

5.5 million hits a day roughly 220,000 new visitors...that's a LOT! LOL

[pieces of time]

The President is looking good, this isn't his forum, but he's putting out facts and Kerry is blowing wind. Kerry keeps on talking about leadership and Bush is showing it. Kerry is talking UN, International crap. Either that or Kerry is invading a hell of a lot of countries to get his "Plan" inacted. Kerry also just mentioned increasing troop size - Draft???

[Terp]

OK, I'm not watching. My question is, out of the two who's coming across as more likable and trustworthy?

[sandysue49]

Kerry looks and sounds like a complete MORON! You do to.

[maica]

And I think most of the United States will agree with me.

******


I think you are right!

[Ol' Sox]

Kerry's going to shut down our own nuclear development program in order to show the world we're serious about nuclear containment??? Grrrrrrr, Grrrrrr, Grrrrrrr. Friggin' traitor.

[EricT.]

What the hell is this crap about nuclear material in Russia? Isn't that Putin's job? How the hell is Kerry gonna "secure" that stuff?
