Kerry, Edwards to Face Off in California Debate

Debate Team debating isn't the least bit comparable to POTUS election debating. Kerry is further afflicted with Senate floor-speaking style: long-winded and pointless.

To connect with voters in a POTUS election, one must be able to convey complex ideas clearly and concisely. Hence, President Bush's plain speaking style will probably trump Kerry's sleep-inducing pontification.

And is just me, or are Kerry and Edwards making the most ridiculous and empty promises you have ever heard from a politician? Dennis and Al are there as a backdrop to make Kerry and Edwards appear normal.

Kerry's an ass. All he has going for him are a bunch of vapid platitudes. He hasn't answered a single question. Just stutters and goes to his talking points.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Push Kerry beyond his sound bite and he falls apart.

[jwalsh07]

Kerry says that Bush is a walking contradiction

LOL, the guys 100% grade F shmuck.

[StriperSniper]

Why am I watching this?

;-)

[commish]

Who has the official "I served in Vietnam" Count. Just wondering how many times he has brought up his "Service to this country"

Ya'll did know EFFIN served in vietnam right?

[Mo1]

Now they are talking about the schools and leave no child behind

[Feiny]

Someone better call Kris Kristopherson....Kerry stole his song: He's a walking contradiction, partly truth partly fiction...

[Right_in_Virginia]

Edwards should just be quiet. He voted for "No Child Left Behind"...but can't explain why it's not working.

[jwalsh07]

Now they are talking about the schools and leave no child behind

I'll go listen to this, I'm interested in vouchers. Sarcasm.

[Jhensy]

He'll do just fine. Kerry's no dummy, but he can't answer a question straight. He totally dances around the subject, saying a whole lot of nothing.

When just asked how to handle California's immigration crisis, he somehow launched into a diatribe about Bush having "no health care plan." After being politely interrupted and told to answer the question again, he sensed he better say something that sounds like a plan, so he resorted to the cop-out, "We'll have to work at it, we'll work with President Fox, we'll implement some sort of guest worker program", and (suddenly catching fire) "WE MUST PUNISH THOSE WHO HIRE AND EXPLOIT IMMIGRANTS FOR CHEAP LABOR" What a bunch of bullsh*t.

Blah blah blah. The country will be so jaded with this hack come debate time that no one will tune in anyway.

[Mo1]

Might explain why he changed the subject

[Feiny]

YES...I want to pay for EVERYONES EDUCATION...HURRAY!!!

[Mo1]

Now Rev Al is mentioned how the other Dems are slamming Bush for leave no child behind and how they voted for it

[Right_in_Virginia]

Sharpton's going to make the Dimm convention fun to watch!

[Feiny]

Preach on Al....what the hell did he say?

[Dolphy]

He's found his stride, it's one school system for the affluent and one for everyone else. Here in Michigan the Detroit schools get the most funding and produce the worst results. I wonder if this is what he's talking about:)

[Right_in_Virginia]

LOL!

[Feiny]

We lift people out of poverty by stealing the money from hard working Americans.

[EllaMinnow]

I despise John Effing Kerry with every effing fiber of my entire effing being.
