I must admit, I was very disturbed and disappointed by Bush's inability to defend himself during that debate. I kept yelling out attack lines and talking points while he was stumbling over his words, it was disconcerting, to say the least.
it isnt that Bush didnt defend himself it is that he didnt attack Kerry.
KErry said what was probably the dumbest thing ever spoken in a debate, on par with Fords "Poland isnt under Soviet Domination" gaffe.
Kerry essentially said the US, Iran and N Korea are all moral equivalents. Bush just stood there. I could have destroyed Kerry on that and Bush ignored it. That's unforgivable.
I felt like he needed to be pulled out of the ring and have cold water splashed on him, while getting a couple wake up taps on the cheeks, all the while somebody telling him "Come on, you're the man, you are the President of the United States, don't let this two bit punk beat you up.."
