In a war against terror it can be argued that you want a cheater? Fellow Freepers need to stop this obsessive need to figure out why Bush flopped during the debate and get on with the campaign.

Kerry cheated? Well I wish Bush cheated as well or was keen enough to catch it and call Kerry out as a cheater. It is not our job to expose Kerry during the debate - it was Bush's.

Wrong, Kerry did not win the debate. At best it was a draw, even McCurry discussed this after the debate when he thought no one would over hear him.

Bush gained ground after the debates, sounds like he won to me.

Bush could not have seen what was on the cards that Kerry pulled out, if that's what they were. If he raised a ruckus, and the cards turned out to be blank (i.e. a trap), Bush would look like a complete fool and the media would crucify him. It wasn't worth the risk.

Bush has character. He's not going to cheat. He's not going to call Kerry out as a cheater.

I would much prefer a President who shows the integrity to NOT cheat, thank you very much. President Bush "has character"--core values.....which is MUCH different than a candidate who is just "a character" with NO core values...which is what you see in Kerry.

How do you expose a cheater, or just a "suspicion" of cheating, in front of 62+ million viewers, without looking petty and vindictive?
