Bush Says Debates Highlight His Record
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&e=1&u=/ap/20041014/ap_on_el_pr/debate_rdp

President Bush (news - web sites) said Thursday the trio of prime-time debates with Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites) demonstrated he is running on his record — and his opponent away from his own — even as the Republican campaign acknowledged that Kerry had gained from the confrontations viewed by tens of millions of Americans.

"The senator's record is 20 years of out-of-the-mainstream votes without any significant reforms or results," Bush told thousands of cheering supporters amid post-debate polls showing Kerry was widely viewed as winning each one. "I'm proud of my record. My opponent seemed to want to avoid talking about his."

-snip-

Bush played down negative reviews of his debate performances. "The pundits and the spinners — they all have their opinions but there's only one opinion that matters and that's the opinion of the American people on Nov. 2," he told reporters during a rare visit to the press cabin on Air Force One. "I feel great about where we are."

"My spirits are high," Bush declared. "I'm enthusiastic about my chances."

7. "I'm enthusiastic about my chances"
This is the kind of choice of words that convinced me that this idiot is much better suited as a cracker small time baptist preacher someplace in the deep south.

23. Yes - That damned activist court!
It does seem amazing that Bush can speak negatively about the very thing that put him into power.

"I have power over my cognitive dissonance," I said to myself.

16. How can he feel "great" about anything?
What an insult to so many people. Being proud of his record just boggles the mind.....beyond arrogance!

18. ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
Boy is he one deluded SOB. Yes, the debates sure did highlight something--that he's nothing but a GD liar, has sh*t for brains and is likely the worst president this country will ever have to endure.

26. Yeah, the first time he ever SHOWED UP for anything on TIME!
Let's see Mr. Bush's record:

AWOL
Never met with the Black Caucus
40% of his Presidency was spent on vacation
Fought to help the 9/11 Commission
Showed up with Dick Cheney due to public pressure
Can't find a traitor in his own administration
Can't find Osma Bin Laden and doesn't care
Doesn't show up to funerals of hero's
Doesn't have STate of the Union speeches


Yeah...it's a highlight alright when the bar is in the gutter.
