Kerry Lied in Debate

KERRY CLAIMS HE'S "NEVER, EVER" USED WORD "LYING" IN REFERENCE TO PRESIDENT BUSH ON IRAQ.

JIM LEHRER: "New question, Senator Kerry. Two minutes. You've repeatedly accused President Bush, not here tonight but elsewhere before, of not telling the truth about Iraq. Essentially, of lying to the American people about Iraq. Give us some examples of what you consider to be his not telling the truth."
SEN. KERRY: "Well, I've never, ever used the harshest word as you just did." (Sen. John Kerry, First Presidential Debate, Miami, FL, 9/30/04)

BUT IN DECEMBER 2003, KERRY TOLD NEW HAMPSHIRE EDITORIAL BOARD BUSH "LIED" ABOUT REASON FOR GOING TO WAR IN IRAQ. "Kerry also told a New Hampshire newspaper editorial board Friday that Bush had 'lied' about his reasons for going to war in Iraq, a word Kerry has been reluctant to use publicly for months. Yesterday he said he did not plan to use the word again." (Patrick Healy, "Kerry Camp Lowers N.H. Expectations Behind In Polls, Senator Now Seeks Spot In 'Top Two,'" The Boston Globe, 12/8/03)

AND IN SEPTEMBER 2003, KERRY SAID BUSH ADMINISTRATION "LIED" AND "MISLED." "This administration has lied to us. They have misled us. And they have broken their promises to us. The president promised to the people and the Congress that he would build an international coalition, respect the United Nations' process and only go to war as a last resort. I will tell you that from my war fighting experience, I believe there is a test for a president as to how you go to war. And that test is whether or not you can look in the eyes of parents and say to them, 'I did everything possible to avoid the loss of your son and daughter, but we had no other choice in order to protect the security of our nation,' and I know this president fails that test in Iraq." (Sen. John Kerry, Campaign Event, Claremont, NH, 9/20/03)

The post analysis of the debate is not going to reflect well on Kerry.

Kerry always lies. But . . .

Bush needed to get across the message that Saddam was harboring terrorist and sponsoring terrorism and that he was more vital to the war on terror than Osama bin Laden.

He isn't doing it. So we need to do it.

Here is an easy to read chart of what the media was saying pre-911 (and after): Connect the Dots...Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden. Send it to your friends and family. And the media.

Kerry said that there was a difference between opposing the war and the warrior. And he implied that he could support the warrior without supporting the war. But au contraire, Kerry was against the war in Vietnam and came home and attacked the warriors. That quote should be used in future swift boat ads.

Bush missed the opportunity for a knockout punch when Kerry said he didn't express himself well on the $87B vote, but what's important is that he got the vote right...

Bush should have said "So you still think voting against the troops was the right thing?"

Bush's expresions, which were not supposed to be shown, made him look like Algore in 2000.

That is nothing new.

John Kery lies in his sleep.

John Kerry is a democrat. All democrats have liarites.

They cannot help it. If the deocto told them the next lie they told would kill them, they would not make it out of the examinating room alive.

John Kerry started off lying and finished lying.

Why the Republicans agreed on this moderator is beyond my powers of comprension.

Kerry was lying on almost every question, making up the facts as they suited his argument.

Did anyone other than myself catch it when Kerry said the president forced General Shinstinky to retire, when even the MSM admitted that was untrue?

Kerry was slick and appeared more intelligent. However all he did was complain and whine without offering detailed plans of his own. If this was an open seat, Kerry would surge in the polls. However it is not. The swing voters will give Bush the benefit of the doubt. People don't like "Monday Morning Quarterbacks". In order to unseat an incumbent, the challenger must give proposals with substance. All Kerry has to offer are flip-flops.

No he said he didn't say Bush lied when he said prior that he said Bush lied. So he flip-flopped on it and therefore lied... Did I get that right?

The debate's over for the evening, but the leftists pulling the strings in the Kerry campaign are still busy trying to undermine our president, our war on terror, and our troops in Iraq.

Kerry supporters rejoice at the news of every American death, and they cry crocodile tears in front of the news cameras - but by their words and their deeds they are directly responsible for the deaths of American soldiers.

The Islamists are feeding off the words of Kerry, Kennedy, Lockhart, Rather, Matthews, Sharpton, and they are feeding off the demonstrations of the so-called "peace protesters."

These bastards are coming to Arlington National Cemetery on Saturday, to mock American values, to degrade American soldiers, and to desecrate the sacred ground where 200+ years of American heroes are buried.

If you are anywhere near DC on Saturday, please consider coming to defend the honor of our country's war dead and defend our country's honor against the anti-American blood dancers.

Kerry lies like O.J. Simpson. "Not guilty 1000 per cent." "Seared, SEARED in my memory." "Never, EVER used the harshest word."

Well, how about citing "nuclear proliferation" as the number one issue facing this country?

Kerry prattled on about North Korea's development of nuclear weapons and focused solely on this.

Then -- and ONLY THEN -- after President Bush identifies "weapons of mass destruction" and their presence in the hands of terrorists, Kerry on rebuttal repeats "nuclear proliferation", and quickly tosses in "weapons of mass destruction", which would, of course also include biological and chemical weapons.

Folks, if this guy gets elected, the US is a sitting duck while he's trying to figure out what comb to use to part his hair that morning.

What is really funny is the dem line for about a week now, and Holbrook was just on Fox with this, is Kerry has always had one position. I mean com'on. Do these people think I get my news by pony express!

Kerry WAS slick and full of 'masterful rhetoric.' My husband has a brother who is a professor at a large University. He has mastered the art of rhetoric. But when you actually start to break down what he has said, it's total garbage. It sounds good as it comes out of his mouth, but as it hangs in the air and begins to hover around you, you notice it's hot and quite smelly. Kerry is exactly the same way. All jabberwocky.

It's easy to wax eloquent when all you have are words. (Ted Bundy was quite eloquent, for that matter. As was Hitler!)

The President, on the other hand, is a passionate man of action - a good man. That speaks louder than any words ever vomiting out of Kerry's mouth.

Tommy Franks on Fox now saying Kerry was flat out WRONG that resources were diverted from Afganistan to Iraq, He said thet when Iraq operations were getting ready to start, there were 9,500 troops in Afganistan and it steadily went up to over 12,000 while Iraq was going on.
