Final Presidential Debate
- Thread starter Annessa
- Start date
I thought it was interesting that everytime Bush didn't have a solid response to a question, he would float back to his 'eduction program' (can't remember the name of it).
Kerry picked that one apart early on, but Bush kept going back to it, like it was all he had up his sleeve at the time.

He did say Kathleen that he met with the Black congress at the White House by why is it he couldn't say who? We are in the year of 2004 and slavery has been abolished for many decades now, So for me and other Black American citizens watching an instant ringer went off in my head as I thought "Who did he see? What is his or her name?" to me it's not credable enough to say he did see someone but didn't say who.Kathleen said:

Yes that was Depp Don. Johnny Depp did leave America and lives in Europe (I can't remember where though) with his wife and daughter and has been for the last 3 few years or so. Madonna as well lives in Europe with her husband and children and has been for years. Tori Amos lives in England with her husband and daughter and has been for years. There are quite a few American celebrities that live abroad (can't remember all of them) but have a home/homes in the U.S for when they are working/touring in the States.Don said:

Ahhhhhh... thank you Berlin *hugs* And I promise to make America a better country for the American people and viewed as a better country in the face of the rest of the world by making sure that every client that sees an escort & MPA's gets a free lollypop and balloon with each visit.Berlin said:

A result even worse than Kerry being elected! Unless of course we could just take Western Canada - now there’s a thought......banshie said:

You've not heard the race card from the Dems, all you have to do is look at Bush's cabinet to see why.Annessa said:

My take ... not that anyone cares ...
Bush did not answer many questions with any substance. He tried to get around quite a few by redirecting and did not make a stand.
Examples:
On jobs he always redirected to education.
On Roe vs Wade he talked about "litmus test". WTF???
Bush liked the distraction he thought he could use with the label "Liberal" and he also said to Kerry "you sit right on the far-left bank." Which just goes to show how far right Bush is by comparison! According to Bush where does Nader sit? Probably to a person who actually is on the far-left bank Kerry would be on the right and Bush on the extreme right. Kerry probably is actually more in the center. The only two meaningful parties in American politics are right and right-center on a global political scale.
I loved Kerry's statement:
"Being lectured by the president on fiscal responsibility is a little bit like Tony Soprano talking to me about law and order in this country. " - True the proof is in the pudding err deficit, jobs and number of those covered by healthcare plans and not excuses and promises, smoke and mirriors. Actually not that Kerry will live up to his claims either; I guess that is politicians for you.
Bush only really scored big when he talked about his faith and about the women in his life (only then did his words sound heart felt). He also did well to smile and laugh and not to scowl. On the other hand the deer in the headlights look did not help much.

I can simply say that Bush just looks plain scared. I would be too if I was in his shoes.

Yeah right......I'd rather take Chretien over Bush any day......NOTbanshie said:
You got the nerve to talk about US president, while having a moron like Chretien running Canada.....
I guess that is Bush's fault too????DonQuixote said:

I have know you to be a smart guy. Here is a question for you.
Presidents in general are taking credit or the heat for lost or won jobs.
With the exception of goverment jobs and some artificially created jobs in the depression, which president and or goverment actually creates jobs?
The whole notion that goverments and/or presidents are responsible for the job market is just plain stupid.
While goverment has the power to create a climate that could either favor or hinder economic activity. No goverment, with the above exception, has ever created jobs.
I would like to think you are right, but don't count Bush out yet. By any measure, he should lose in November. He should have lost last time. (Well actually he did, but Jeb and friends stole it for him.) He, and the people running his campaign, are masters at the impossible. Ann Richards was supposed to be unbeatable in Texas, but he toppled her.hdog said:
He could well pull it off again. I hope not.
Don't try it, if you can't float a sub home during peace time without anyone getting hurt........bbking said:
