Thread 1 - Pre-Debate discussion
Kerry wants to shut down the nuclear bunker-buster program (small nukes that can burrow through rock and concrete before exploding).
Well now. Such weapons would be used only after a nuclear attack on the US. They are meant to deter by telling Kim Jong Il and the Iranian mullahs that they can't shoot and then hide -- they WILL be incinerated in their bunkers.
What's hard to understand about that? Kerry fantasizes that somehow it's fair play for us to give up our nuclear dominance in order to keep rogue nations from developing such weapons. Well, DUH. Those nations don't understand "fair play" as Kerry learned it at St. Paul's prep school.
We also should not forget that Kerry was a cheerleader for the Soviet-backed unilateral Nuclear Freeze in the 1980s -- back when the Soviet Union was a real threat, with more nuclear weapons in their inventory than the US had. Bush missed a great opportunity in failing to point this out.
Do a Google on Kerry and "nuclear freeze" -- is this the sort of judgment we want in the Oval Office? The answer is in the question itself.
That fits Kerry perfectly.
The good news is that the President still came off as more likable than Kerry.
The local NBC affiliate interviewed three Kerry voters, asking them which person they would like to have dinner with.
All three Kerry voters said they'd rather have dinner with Bush; obviously, even Kerry voters find Kerry too patrician and aloof to make a good dinner guest. I know that should not be a deciding factor in this race, but I'm afraid a lot of undecided voters use likability as a main factor.
Thank you. I have been in the debate club and Dubya lost tonight.
I still love him and wish him victory, but he lost this round with all the bullsh*t and nonsense spewed and not quelled or challenged for explaination by the moderator.
That's what I put in my trukc.
AMEN !!!
President Bush didnt have to dazzle tonight to win...he won by being a GREAT PRESIDENT the last 3 1/2 years leading up to this....we all know he isnt a polished speaker, it drives us nutz, BUT when the going gets tuff, he gets going and it doesnt have a thing to do with the way he debates a Liberal fool from Boston!!......
all he had to do tonight was do good.....he did....so what if Kerry is this great debater....he is a hollow shell with no heart and no soul....
we win they lose!! hehehehe
President Bush should his true Character, by not stooping to the low, low level of John Kerry, bet Kerry was dumb founded.
he's tired because he actually goes to work everyday. Kerry hasn't worked in 9 months and that's being generous
Kerry reminded me of a lawn sprinkler spraying wildly all over the place. He tried to shoot every point in every direction and hope he hit something. Bush seemed more like a water cannon.
Wow...I'm glad I didn't see what you saw.
: )
Even Clinton told the democrats not to underestimate Bush.
Thank you. Your post was what I was hunting for....a good synopsis....much appreciated.
And that's when the game was over.

Yesterday there was a thread about how the Kerry campaign was going to email out their talking points right after the debates. Has anyone seen it yet? Is it posted here?
Well said! Bush made this very point enough times for the few uninformed viewers to know, most of us have already decided. Bushes message was clear and simple. Kerry wins debate on points with his articulation, Bush wins the election BIG TIME with a clear and consistent message. Bush now knows his opponent. His first debate against Gore wasn't his best, but he got better every time. Bush learns, and then improves. Mark of a good leader.
They were given all the URLs by the DNC and had the emails ready to fire the minute the debate was over, they even had the talking points ahead of time. I read it all on the NRO, this afternoon.They had the email.
The whole family watched the whole thing. Dub didn't do good. I await the second debate.
Yes, give Iran nuclear fuel. He also said he would cancel the bunker buster program and other newer U.S. tactical nuke programs. Giving Iran nuclear fuel is just dangerous Jimmy Carter naivety - we should know better. Cancelling the bunker buster program is yet another in a long series of important military programs, that Kerry has tried to stop throughout his career.
