Sincerely, I still want Bush to win, but he didn't do NEARLY enough to rebut Kerry's lies.

As one person posted here, Kerry is a very EXPERIENCED liar--not only did he con two rich women into marrying him, but he bamboozled the Senate into believing all those war crimes accusations when he was only 27 years old--he is a VERY DANGEROUS MAN!!!

His lies MUST be exposed, before it's too late!!!

I agree also that Bush should have relaxed this morning instead of meeting with hurricane victims--as wonderful as that gesture might have been--unfortunately more people watched the debate than were affected by President Bush's gracious gesture toward the hurricane victims...

President Bush DID, in the debate, say that Kerry promised to withdraw the troops from Iraq within six months. Maybe now would be the time to run an SBVT ad playing back Kerry's 1971 Senate testimony about early withdrawal, another Senator's comments that there might be 800,000 casualties, some footage about the disaster that ensued in Vietnam, followed by Kerry's 2004 statement about withdrawing the troops from Iraq within six months...implying that history would repeat itself in Iraq if Kerry was elected.

What can we do, guys???

LOCKHART: DEBATE CONSENSUS A 'DRAW'

Unbeknownst to Kerry adviser Mike McCurry, a C-SPAN camera quietly followed McCurry as he found Kerry adviser Joe Lockhart on Spin Alley floor and asked him his impression of the debate. Lockhart candidly said to McCurry , “The consensus is it was a draw.”

Speaking of Rush... Does anyone know of a way I can get recordings of his radio speeches? There is 1 hour every weeknight from the Armed Forces Radio.... but not the whole thing..... (Too expensive to become a paying member on his official site ).. and it comes on too late at night here.

Yeah, Joe seems to be like Kerry these days, flip flopping in order to get more viewers of his show. He flatly declared Kerry won. I remember when he also admired Kerry after the DNC. Come on, have a conviction.

Chris Matthews had a focus group--a group of six people. Well, a focus-leaning-toward-Kerry group.

Again, I do believe Bush was really tired and wasn't really prepared to throw some well-prepared punch lines, including some direct quote from past Kerry's words.

Well I think most of us are pretty disappointed. I really did think he would do much better than he did and quite honestly, Kerry did better than I thought he would, especially if you look at it through the eyes and ears of that "undecided" segment that are not as a political as the rest of us.

Bottom line, we have a lot of work to do and as we have known all along, it ain't gonna be easy:/

[quote="flagreen"][quote]"You know, when I talked about the $87 billion, I made a mistake in how I talk about the war. But the president made a mistake in invading Iraq. Which is worse?

The mistake was how he voted against funding the troops, and not how he talked about the vote. Let's not lose focus here.

I personally appreciated the "high road" approach. President Bush may not have been on "attack" but I wonder if that won't speak better to the swing voters by his taking the high road. I think that shows more character than any "attacks" he could have led. That is true leadership.[/quote]

That is so true... I recall someone in a diffrent thread a few days ago mention the qualities that Bus has that matched a book about how to make and keep friends, or something like that.... keep everything positive and stay away from the negative of people/things.... It says much about his character....

He is like a favorite uncle that tries to take care of his family.[/quote]


I acknowledge your opinion on this, but I still feel that after all the time that was spent at the RNC attacking Kerry on his crazy foreign policies, this should have been the knockout punch. There is no room for being nice at this time, given the enormity of what is at stakes at this point. The liberals will use every sinister method to steal this election, so being tough at the first debate would have reinforced all the positive results that came from the convention.

But the bright side is that people will not become complacent and will work extra hard and not become complacent with what the polls are showing us.

Stevie: maybe it had to do with the fact that the President spent the day meeting with victims of the hurricanes, talking to people that had literally lost everything, while Kerry spent the day having a manicure.

Have you guys ever worked disaster relief? It is emotionally and physically draining. I have worked several natural disasters for Christian relief agencies and it wears you out. Just wears you out. It isn't the physical labor, it's the other aspects. The overwhelming loss, everywhere you look.

Maybe the President should have gone to a spa, to "save" himself for the cameras? Nawww....

John F'n Kerry, good Lord, what a spectacle he be. Kept thinking of Ralph Waldo Emerson: "The louder he talked of his honor, the faster we counted our spoons."

I made this point on another thread, (a bootleg post, sorry Moderators) that Reagan did pretty poorly against Mondale in the first 1984 debate, and you all remember how that election ended up. Very similar situations: Reagan was ahead in the polls, Mondale was a senator and a lawyer, and so a more "skilled debater"--Reagan seemed tired and a little distracted...
