Steviekick 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2004 Of course China would be upset if North Korea developed weapons to use against the US. They might not be able to get the money back they loaned to Bush! China has a huge trade deficit with us. So then why is Bush so willing to take loans from them? He had money, but that all went out to Haliburton, Enron, and other needless tax refunds. Enron? Do you know what you're talking about? -=Mike Yup. They received some money out of the whole tax refund thing. And (although unrelated), the Bush Administration DID bend over backwards for them. Um, you REALLY need to read up on that. Bush did nothing to save Enron. Bush did nothing to help them. Bush was lobbied to help them (by Clinton people) and Bush refused. -=Mike But didn't they seal the papers about Cheney's 'secret energy task force' meetings with Enron?

{''({o..o})''} 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2004 Pretty lackluster debate that really didn't help either candidate, but hurt Kerry less in my view. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2004 Well, I'm as close to a neutral observer as you're likely to find, since I know that I'm not voting for Bush or Kerry, and I have to say that Kerry lost that debate badly. He basically just took potshots at Bush, and completely failed to establish his own agenda. He talks about what a terrible decision it is to be in Iraq, and then when he's asked what he'd do, he can't even make a major distinction between what Bush is doing, and what he'd do. You know how HHH's feuds are all about HHH? Well, this debate was all about Bush, and it made Kerry come off looking like a joke as a result. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Justice 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2004 "He was a threat... that's not the issue..." That's a very deadly statement there. It's true. Kerry's problems with Bush weren't that Saddam was a threat, he voted for War too, but HE WOULD HAVE DONE A BETTER JOB DISARMING IRAQ. That was his point. Whether it's true or not is a matter of opinion. Bush is going to be killed on the Domestic Issues debate if TAX GAP is his best weapon against Kerry. No. What did we learn tonight? It was the wrong war, wrong place, wrong time. If he was a threat, that means it was at least the right war. It IS an issue, you are just too dumb to realize it.

Vyce 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2004 I would agree that no one technically "won" the debate. But that, in a sense, makes Kerry something of a "winner", because this could have been the nail in his coffin that finished him as a candidate. Instead, now he just gets to continue limping forward to a defeat in November. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GreatWhiteNope 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2004 MSNBC's panel wasn't watching the same debate I was. Tool #1: I think that time limit worked in Kerry's favor. Once that light came on, he buttoned right up! I'm never watching MSNBC again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Justice 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2004 A draw is a loss for Kerry, imo. He has something to prove, and he certainly didn't tonight. I don't think Bush won (If he did, it wasn't convincing), but Kerry is losing ground because he didn't do anything good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheLastBoyscout Report post Posted October 1, 2004 Scarborough says Kerry clearly won "on points," And since the Right Wingers here are admitting this was a "draw" the avergage moderate would say "Kerry won." Oh and Kerry didn't looked P.O'd every time Kerry got him with a zinger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
