The OAO 9/30 Presidential Debate Thread

Recommended Posts

Guest TheLastBoyscout

Bush's reactions to Kerry can be summed up as "He said a bad thing! Waaaah!"

 

With a lot more pauses.

Why isn't Kerry looking at the camera?

He's addressing the Moderator, which is a big aestetic mistake.

 

And I'll agree with Tyler: he needs to come off a little less angry. Then again, Kerry looks goofy as fuck when he gives a big smile. I'd stop it that as well if I were him.

That annoys me. Make freaking eye contact.

No, not really...

"The American people decide--I decided."

 

WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?

I also find it ironic that Kerry can even say the name "Ronald Reagan" considering how he tried to undermine every major Reagan initiative he could while he was in the Senate during that administration.

Oh god, Kerry saying he has anything resembling a consistent position is like saying Jimmy Carter is a foreign policy expert.

Why not actually try to contribute something?

 

I think the President is sticking to what people get behind him about. I think that's a good thing.

Bush is just trying to tear down Kerry (and vice versa)

 

What about HIS policies?

Yeah, that's pretty dumb rhetorically. You're not going to convince any conservative/moderates to suddenly jump aboard by trying to link yourself with Reagan, it just looks stupid.

Maybe. But it is a diplomatic way of getting a shout out to his republican homies.

Why? You've yet to.

 

Bush is getting schooled. No wonder his campaign is trying to lower expectations for the debate.

Bush isn't going to win this flip-flop argument. He's taking a semantics issue and trying to run a mile with it. Kerry just explained himself and Bush is trying to say he didn't say something he just said.

Bush might not win the flip flop argument, but Kerry isn't going to shed the flip flop label anytime soon, whether you think that's fair or not...

I do think using Kerry's own words is making Kerry's position difficult to defend.

 

But Bush is just meandering now.
