Liz, I didn't mean that towards you. But I have heard so many troops that have said how upset they are because Americans are not supporting them . . . THE TROOPS know what they're fighting for and you can't depend on CBS, NBC, or ABC to give you their true stories!

Like Kerry said last night, there are troops without body armor over there, and humvees without armor. It breaks my heart.

Then why did he vote against the funding for supplimental armor?

We're giving more and more terrorists a reason to hate us each moment we're in that country.

Wow, are you hearing yourself? So we just just leave them alone and they'll go away? If you think that leaving terrorists alone will solve the world's problems, you are not living in reality.

.....too bad for me there's no way Kerry's winning Kentucky, right?

LOL . . . highly unlikely!

Have a great day Liz!

It's obvious someone here isn't living in reality, and it's not me.

I'm not going to justify your comments on anything else...the $87 billion...why it was wrong to invade Iraq...because John Kerry explained it all last night. The American public agreed with him.

It's time to find Bush a job that isn't such "hard work."

I have a question. If my support had been for Bush instead of Kerry, would I still have been asked to remove that political button or just asked to get rid of that one word?

No, what Kerry said was that Saddam was a threat and that he must be disarmed. This does not require war. It does require the threat of force, which is what he gave the President.
Kerry's position is the same it's always been. Bush has made a mess, Kerry has an actual plan for how to fix it.

Four more years of this crap.

I can't believe anyone would vote for that.

LOLOLOL,

Hi Mr Saddam,
My name is John Kerry.

Would you please give me all your arms and weapons so we can live in peace on the planet?

Four more years of this crap???



It's really not becoming of you making statements like that,
Just as I think you are becoming a kinder gentler Soledad, you
punk me like that....

I think I'll vote Bush "because he's not John Kerry."

YES I saw that!

There's more funny videos on http://www.oliverwillis.com/node/view/844

I've seen a lot of funny stuff this morning...

"Bushboy blew it big time last night
His oft repeated slogans were a fright
Kerry had solutions
the prez had delusions
America wake up - dump the right!!!"

What was UP with the whole tangent Bush went on about his friend, the widow? "You know, it's hard work to try to love her as best as I can, knowing full well that the decision I made caused her loved one to be in harm's way." What?! That entire answer made NO SENSE. It was incoherent babbling.

Did you hear him say "Saddam Hussein" when he meant "Osama bin Laden?" He does that all the time!

A great quote from this morning's Boston Herald: "Note to George W: Next time, lose the blue tie, drop the folksy double talk and stand up straight."

Bush's face reminds me of Alfred E. Neuman ("What, me worry?"). And the blinking?? He looks like a meth addict!

But Richard, he didn't have any WMDs in the first place, remember?

Anyway, I think Bush should have followed the suggestions of the UN and tried more negotiations, and should never have pre-emptively invaded Iraq. But, this thread is about last night's debate, right? So I'll stick to that.

Kerry looked more presidential last night. He was decisive, clear, strong and unwavering. Blinky McFrowny just kept repeating a bunch of lies.

"MEXED MISSAGES!"

This election I believe I will be voting for a water cooler. The one in my office is quite qualified for the job

Silly girl! At least Bush can make facial expressions! Kerry has that "Droopy Dog" look going on. His face is ALWAYS the same. Long and droopy! But if that's the "look" you want . . . because we all know that in order to be Presidential, you have to look the part!

At least no one rolled their eyes this time around!

Ah, I'm just an naive country girl . . . what do I know?

Are you kidding? Did you not go watch that video Aly posted? All Bush did was roll his eyes! Bush looked irritated, bored, frustrated and tired the whole time. Even Faux News admits that.

I wonder what the dead Kurds/Iranians would think about that...


Ah, the UN.....

Suicide bombings/terrorist attacks everyday in Iraq - the silence from that office is pretty obvious.....

We spent 12 years sanctioning Iraq and that idiot Saddam KEPT shooting at planes, playing hide and seek with the inspectors....



It's very obvious that Saddam brought it all on himself, HAD he behaved like a real leader of his country he'd still be in charge and there would not have been this war to kick his arse out.

Anyone with half a mind would see that......


I do.

[lizzielou742]

Whatever, Richard.

My favorite exchange from last night:

Mr. Kerry: Jim, let me tell you exactly what I'll do. And there are a long list of things. First of all, what kind of mixed message does it send when you've got $500 million going over to Iraq to put police officers in the streets of Iraq and the president is cutting the cops program in America? What kind of message does it send to be sending money to open firehouses in Iraq but we're shutting firehouses, who are the first responders here in America? The president hasn't put one nickel - not one nickel - into the effort to fix some of our tunnels and bridges and most exposed subway systems. That's why they had to close down the subway in New York when the Republican convention was there. We haven't done the work that ought to be done.

The president - 95 percent of the containers that come into the ports, right here in Florida, are not inspected. Civilians get onto aircraft and their luggage is X-rayed, but the cargo hold is not X-rayed. Does that make you feel safer in America?

This president thought it was more important to give the wealthiest people in America a tax cut rather than invest in homeland security. Those aren't my values. I believe in protecting America first. And long before President Bush and I get a tax cut - and that's who gets it - long before we do, I'm going to invest in homeland security and I'm going to make sure we're not cutting cops programs in America and we're fully staffed in our firehouses and that we protect the nuclear and chemical plants.

The president, also unfortunately, gave in to the chemical industry, which didn't want to do some of the things necessary to strengthen our chemical plant exposure. And there's an enormous undone job to protect the loose nuclear materials in the world that are able to get to terrorists. That's a whole other subject.

But I see we still have a little bit more time. Let me just quickly say, at the current pace, the president will not secure the loose material in the Soviet Union, former Soviet Union, for 13 years. I'm going to do it in four years. And we're going to keep it out of the hands of terrorists.

Mr. Lehrer: Ninety-second response, Mr. President.

Mr. Bush: I don't think we want to get to how he's going to pay for all these promises. It's like a huge tax gap and - anyway, that's for another debate.

FLAME ON!!!! You guys can bring it on all day long. The fact is that Bushie looked like a pathetic loser last night. He's going to fall flat on his face in the next two debates, and he's going to be soundly defeated in November.
