Kerry's logic makes people think that liberals hate America.
Kerry said instead of a tax cut we needed to spend more on homeland security. But Bush invented Homeland Security.
We need to limit immigration and post our military on the Mexican border.
Sadaam used weapons of mass destruction.
Muslim men beat their women. Yet, Democratic women in America bash Bush in support of Muslims; what un-American bigotry.
The Democrats send messages to our enemy that gives them hope.
Eighty five percent of insurgents fighting American soldiers are from other Arab nations. Iraq is a great solution to rid future terrorists. The war is working out better than we dreamed.
The French disregarded the U.N. sanctions.
Clinton raised taxes. Bush lowered them. Who pays for increased spending, Kerry?
Now, America, which part of that do you not understand?
/sarcasm
Good article, I do have someone who needs to see this one.
Held his own. Wish it could have been better. Kerry is tough. When Kerry praised a general who supports him, pointing to his accomplishments in the Gulf War, Bush missed a great opportunity to remind audience that Kerry opposed the Gulf War despite the presence of a large coalition and the fact the most of the cost was borne by allies, notably Saudi Arabia.
Kerry has given consistent signals about his policy on fill in blank.
Every Evil on Earth has the workings and enabling of a Rat behind it..Iran and all that sprang forth and North Korea..
How can the debate be a tie when W kicked Kerry's a$$ and had him tongue licking and stammering his words most of the night . What a farce !!
Bush kicked Kerry's butt around the stage like an old football.
The opening question set the tone for rest of the evening.
How many of you noticed that Bush spoke directly to the camera, the audience and the people and Kerry spoke directly to Bush???
BRAVO!!!!!!!! Thanks for the post!
I love that!
Consider it stolen (borrowed).
This second debate was a warm up for the third one. Bush is going to throw down a Texas whoop ass on Kerry. Kerry's head will be spinning around ...but that is pretty normal, I guess.
Its interesting that I got emails from a die-hard liberal, call from an independent who leans conservative, and another die-hard liberal all talk about how Kerry is looking to win the elections probably with a wide margin. Funny that all of that disappeared yesterday and today. No emails, no calls from the independent etc..:) Goes to show that Bush really did kick ass last night and looking forward to more in the next one. As a senior aide to the Bush campaign said to NRO online if I am not mistaken, look for shock and awe to happen in October!!!
IMO this is one of the most frightening aspects of a Kerry presidency, his belief that there's a moral equivalence between the U.S. and a crazed Islamofacist regime like Iran or a communist hellhole like NK. His answer to the "most important threat today", nuclear proliferation, is to disarm us so that Europe will like us better. (Huh-lo, haven't we danced that dance already?) I hope and pray people out there are hearing what he's saying beneath all the pompous rhetoric.
This is the sort of logic that makes people think that liberals hate America.
No, it's the sort of logic that makes people KNOW that liberals hate America.
It is a farce. Bush won that debate big time. Kerry the *best debator in the world* was back on his heels most of the debate.
Furthermore Bush effectively used the debate to highlight Kerry's weak Senate record and his liberal politics.
Kerry needed to be tagged with this label. It's the gift that keeps on giving.
President Bush gave the better answer. Interesting how John Kerry earlier tried to lambast the President over "labels" and how they don't mean anything, yet he made sure he acclaimed himself "a Catholic" to the questioner...not to mention bringing up "conservative" judges later on in the debate. Who is labeling who?
Thanks should go to Doug, the guy that wrote the essay. He's the guy with the smarts.
Oops! I boo-bood. Thanks got to Chris for this one.
Now there is a real Kerry signal. Thanks for the post, and to whomever the credit goes.
