Thread 1 - Pre-Debate discussion
Bush is doing average. Kerry is very well-spoken and articulate.
No TV here. I'm listening on the radio. I hate to say it, but the President's performance has sounded weak and defensive so far. He needs to go on the offensive, and soon.
Mr. Kerry is toast, some have said he's a great debater...my only comment to that is he's always had the podium. Especially talking about atrocities and being a pessimist. America needs to look forward. We///I don't want a President who has slammed my soldiers past & present. The plan for Iraq is not the President's...we in the military take his goals, intents and objectives and put them in military terms. President Bush has clearly outlined his goals, intents and objectives.
Great comment....we'll get out when they're "FREE"...how long did it take in Germay, Italy, France, Korea, Japan, etc.....
...President's greatest phrase so-far.....Pre-911 Mentality....
President should say if Kerry thinks National Security is so important why hasn't scheduled his NS briefing with the Administration yet?
A FREE IRAQ! IS A POWERFUL EXAMPLE!
Now kerry shifts to hope is on the way...sheesh
notice on the split screen the 2 backdrop colors are off.
There oranging up bush a bit
I agree.
Bush is losing big time.
Kerry is back with his "help is on the way" slogan.
It didn't work at the Convention.
Try try again, John.
Stealing "help is on the way" again, what a lamo.
Kerry: Message for troops: Help is on the way.
Unbelievable.
Claims some guys in Wisconsin in the services said "we need you".
This is making me really angry!
just pinging you on a "newer' thread.
I loved how he just mentioned a free Iran.
"I'll tell you exactly what I'll do to win the war in Iraq! Why aren't there more cops and bridges and subways and container ships in America?"
Hey and no kidding! You know what I'll do, when I'm elected...
Crossing guards on all suburban streets will be armed!
Oh man... I meant it as a joke. But suddenly, thinking about Beslan, it really doesn't seem like such a joke, not at all... :(
Oh d*mn, he's talking about G. Bush the first. I guess he's getting his talking points from Michael Moore.
lawgirl says: W is losing it- yikes he needs to get control. I think he is losing big time.
Bush has all the facts, it just doesn't come out as smoothly. I have that problem sometimes .... you have so many things you want to say and it's like a traffic jam.
John boy thinks he is. I did wonder how he thought he could single handedly disarm Russia in 4 years.
Where are all these soldiers who are begging JF'nK to take over? The only one I've seen is in a MoveOn commercial.
I agree with you. It looks like he's leaning on the podium. The nuns taught me to stand up straight. W needs to stand tall.
This isn't MA.
So far there is no winner,,,,and a challenger needs to bring it to the champ.
If the debate doesn't change, neither will the polls.
Kerry is Kerry/Bush is Bush. therefore, Bush wins. But he is not doing well.
