I think Bush is playing it smart not confronting him on that

I'm not watching the debates right now, but I'm willing to guess it wasn't Kerry.

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

SPLOW! Kerry right hooks Bush by quoting Bush's dad on Iraq not having an exit strategy, then slips and falls on his ass by mentioning Vietnam obliquely.

Kerry needs to stop saying the "V" word and Bush desperately needs to sit in on a first grade grammar class.

Kerry just admitted it was a mistake to vote against the 87 billion. Holy Shit, he just took step forward there.

Yeah, if he would just not mention his 'war record' for once, that would have been a solid blow.

Then went on to say that we are alone in the war, with a quick come back and right hook by Bush saying that Blair ain't a no one (pharaphrased of course).

Bush has alot of nerve saying Kerry is denegrating our allies, given Bush was all about "with us or against us" stuff to the point he was even giving Canada shit.

I'm enjoying this more than I'd thought.

Kerry is in command here. Even his missteps aren't that bad, while Bush is talking faster than he can think and he's audibly disoriented and whiny-sounding.

He keeps repeating this line about Wrong war, wrong place wrong time. Sorry Kerry never said that. He said he'll win this war you just didn't plan it well bitch.

By the way he just mentioned some artificial deadlines within 20 minutes of saying you can't impose artificial deadlines. Ass.
