Bush is going to speak for two minutes STRAIGHT?

 

What is a MATHIST?

Which is worse? Interesting rhetorical strategy by Kerry there.

Very good rhetoric from Kerry. Agreed.

 

Unfortunately, Kerry is completely not answering the current question.

-=Mike

I will agree with you here. Neither man is actually answering the questions.

It's a presidential debate...what did you expect?

WHY was that absurd, Bush? Give examples, SPECIFIC examples.

 

Oh and POLAND is really helping in the War on Terror.

Hey, Russia poses NO threat to Poland...

 

Nevermind, different debate. :)

This is going VERY badly for Kerry.

-=Mike

I wouldn't go quite that far. I don't think it's any sort of trouncing at all.

Just referring to the discussion on the coalition.

One of my poly sci profs says the key to this debate isn't in the actual debate, it's how the media spins it afterwards to the public and what types of things from the debate they concentrate on.

Actually, it seems pretty even so far.

 

And Bush framing Iraq as "Us vs. Saddam Loyalists" is STUPID STUPID STUPID.

 

Everyone in the world knows it's al Qaida killing our troops in Iraq.

He was trying to say that Baathists were the early opponents.

 

But, you're right --- he said it VERY poorly.

Sad, but true.

Ba'athist = member of Saddam's Ba'ath party.

I am aware of that.

 

He said "Mathist" though.

Funny Kerry now badmouths Bush for saying the exact same thing HE said in August.

Kerry, you just pulled that Bush would have still gone in, but you've said in the past that YOU would have gone in too.

Umm, Kerry just totally contradicted himself.

          -=Mike

I didn't catch it, what did he say?

Griped that Bush said he'd do the same thing, knowing what we know now and that he (Kerry) wouldn't.

 

Kerry, in August, specifically said he'd do the exact same thing, knowing what we know now.

Yes, but he's also said he didn't agree with Bush's plan (or lack thereof) AFTER the War.

Bush seriously needs to stop looking so damned angry.

Bush wants a duel to the death.

That isn't the point. He was attacking the decision to go in and was hypocritical in the process.

Kerry's got a lot of foreign service background... let's talk about his trip to Managua, Nicaragua, PLEASE!
