Beverly Hills - Canyon News staff went out into the streets of Beverly Hills, Brentwood, and Westwood to see what readers had to say of tonights debate between John Kerry and George Bush in Missouri.
Three staff members talked to 30 people who (1) saw or knew of the debates
(2) but did not watch the after-debate analysis by the media and (3) wanted to talk to us. Out of 30 people, 21 people said Bush won tonights debate. 6 people said Kerry won. 3 people thought it was a tie.
Who won tonights debate, will it change your vote, why or who influences your political decisions and are you voting for the same person that you think won tonights vote. We let them speak their mind and this is what we got:
Teresa Henson of Bel Air said, "Bush won. President Bush didn't do so well in the first round. I had decided last week that Kerry had my vote. After tonight, I saw a different stronger side of Bush and I'm voting for another 4 years!"
Greg Kelley of Culver City said, "I'm democrat and I'm voting Kerry/Edwards for sure. Bush won tonight's debate, but I'm still voting for Kerry. Im a black man. Im democrat. I have to be."
Charlie Chin of Los Angeles said, "Kerry definitely won. He's so smooth and he's our man. I don't want to be part of Bush's draft next year, or all that other part of Bush Plans, I'm voting Kerry all the way!"
Barbara Tiery of Beverly Hills said, "Bush kicked Kerry's ass. The first debate Bush didn't do so well. But Bush has my vote all the way. We'll be a sad world with Kerry in there. Politics is something I study on my own. No one influences me."
Tina Woods of Newport Beach said, "Bush won but I'm not sure who I will vote for yet. My only comment that I noticed is that people are so mean to the president about his stuttering speech. To see the people stand up and ask questions, they stuttered and shook while standing before a roomful of people. Id like to see them get up and be president!"
Tasha Williams of Westwood said, President Bush did very well. I wouldnt say he won, but he did better this round. Ill vote for Bush, probably. I am happy how he handled 9/11 and he seems honest!
Robert Gomez of Inglewood said, I vote Kerry, I didnt see the debate, but I heard Kerry won. I figured hed win
hes a lawyer!
Jack Wilmer of Bel Air said, The debate was very unfair. The moderator gave more opportunity to Senator Kerry than to Bush. The media is always hard on Bush and he still comes out on top.
Kiki Bennett of Malibu said, All my friends are voting for Kerry, so Ill probably vote Kerry. I dont want Bush to make abortion legal and make us all go to war. Kerry won tonight, I think, but I didnt hear all of it.
George Hernandez of West Hollywood said, It was a tie, I believe. I dont know who is telling the truth anymore. Its all about lies. Im for gay marriage so Im voting Kerry.
Karen Temple of Los Feliz said, Bush definitely lost. Hes such a liar and hes guilty of killing little babies. Id like to see him in Iraq. Kerry won and has my vote. Im a poly sci major, so Ive learned this first hand at school already, but I also watch CNN and CBS, NBC and cable news.

That's not what I call first hand.
The killing little babies thing is really brilliant isn't it? I guess she missed Kerry's support for crushing the skulls of little babies and allowing anyone to decide to murder the unborn.
The guy who "has" to be a democrat because he's black is another real winner.

Bush kills babies? Oh I guess they don't count the babies that are being aborted. Figures.

1963 Communist Goals
17) Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for Socialism, and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers associations. Put the party line in text books.
It's also funny she talked about "baby killers". I wonder if she's ever killed one of her own or encouraged a friend to?
I guess it hinges on who's babies are being "killed".

Ah, where to begin...
Greg Kelley of Culver City said, "I'm democrat and I'm voting Kerry/Edwards for sure. Bush won tonight's debate, but I'm still voting for Kerry. Im a black man. Im democrat. I have to be."
Of course you do. It's the law. If you're black and vote republican, you're an uncle tom! Jesse Jackson says so! Now back on that plantation!!!
Charlie Chin of Los Angeles said, "Kerry definitely won. He's so smooth and he's our man. I don't want to be part of Bush's draft next year, or all that other part of Bush Plans, I'm voting Kerry all the way!"
The smoothness comes from the botox. Be careful, it wears off after awhile.
People so ignorant should not be allowed to roam free, let alone vote.
Robert Gomez of Inglewood said, I vote Kerry, I didnt see the debate, but I heard Kerry won. I figured hed win
hes a lawyer!
I thought the article said they interviewed people that saw the debates? Oh well, hearing about the debates is just as good, right?
Kiki Bennett of Malibu said, All my friends are voting for Kerry, so Ill probably vote Kerry. I dont want Bush to make abortion legal and make us all go to war. Kerry won tonight, I think, but I didnt hear all of it.
Bush's supporters will be surprised to learn he's going to make abortion legal. Another non-debate watcher. Good reporting, Canyon news!
George Hernandez of West Hollywood said, It was a tie, I believe. I dont know who is telling the truth anymore. Its all about lies. Im for gay marriage so Im voting Kerry.
Hint here, George: Kerry isn't for gay marriage. But don't worry, give him a few minutes and maybe he will be for it then. And then against it again. And then for it again. And then...well, you get the picture.
Karen Temple of Los Feliz said, Bush definitely lost. Hes such a liar and hes guilty of killing little babies. Id like to see him in Iraq. Kerry won and has my vote. Im a poly sci major, so Ive learned this first hand at school already, but I also watch CNN and CBS, NBC and cable news.
Oooh, a poly sci major. Start perfecting your "would you like fries with that" technique now. BTW, the 'Bush kills babies' remark from libs always cracks me up. Hello pot, I'd like to introduce you to a kettle.

Isn't it frightening, what I live with. Your sympathies are most welcome and most deserved.
