Good point. Overextended troops is an easy argument to make.

Bush looks really tired right now. He's not looks very poised at this point.

Good point on Kerry on Rwanda.

This debate is all foreign-policy. A later one will be about domestic.

Indeed it's easy but at least it's been damn said.

I swear, if Bush says: its wrong to tell the troops the Iraq war is wrong one more time, I'm going to throw something to the TV.

Have a very nice day.

Hey! The rainy season's finally ending!

So THAT's our excuse for not helping sooner.

Don't do that -- it could get expensive...

Bush is definitely falling apart in this -- worse than even I predicted.

That's one bit I actually sort of agree on: it can't inspire confidence. Am I willing to go as far as Bush and cover-up the truth? No.

Flip-flop arguement again.

Yes, if you know anything about the local conditions during the rainy period.

Have a very nice day.

Kudos to Bush for sticking to the issues rather than this "character issue" shit. What the fuck was Leher thinking when he asked that?

'I just know how this world works.' ~Bush

ROFL!

Ah god, now its embarracing. Bush is latching on to 'flip flop' and kicking the dead horse. Damn, he's falling apart.

For most the time, I thought they were doing a good tit for tat, but now.

Its not the point itself, its the fact that he's repeating it OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

I have an image of Cheney screaming at the TV "Godamnit you asshole!!!" and throwing something at the TV.

Steamcell research. alright

Okay, does anyone not give this round to Kerry?

Joe · Post by **Joe** » 2004-09-30 10:15pm

Kerry may be winning, but he's still boring. I'm ready to change the channel.

Knife · Post by **Knife** » 2004-09-30 10:15pm

ooops, the certainty of science. The certainty of global warming and stem cell research.

Bundle a goodie and a badie all at once, and hope for the best.

...which Kerry then uses to launch into another sharp character attack. Not a bad move on his part.

...And Bush is back on his 'I won't change my core values!' in response to Kerry's 'Values can be wrong!'

He's not even making sense anymore.

Marksist · Post by **Marksist** » 2004-09-30 10:15pm

Kerry just did very well with the "flip flopper" thing. Saying that when new information becomes available, it's ok to change position, instead of staying with the wrong plan.
