Bush can't hope to match him.

[skooooo]

17. Kerry is answering this question well..

...according to uncommitted voters on cbs.

[realFedUp]

18. Kerry complimenting Bush on days after 9/11

Good one by Kerry. Lays out the difference
between then and now.

[cjbuchanan]

19. Bush met with Congressional Black Caucus on Jan. 31, 2001

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2001/01/20010131-3.html

Does not look like he has met with them since.

[Duncan Grant]

20. Failed uniter/divider. SLAM.

[spooky3]

21. CNNfn undecideds loving Kerry's compliment to *--not sure what that

means

[hippiechick]

22. Why no mention of the separation of chuch and state ??

:shrug:


"I live by my faith but inherent in the constitution, religion is not a ruling entity of these united states." would have been nice to hear, JK ...



:hippie:

[hyphenate]

25. blink, blink, blink, blink

Is that all the chimp knows how to do, is blink? Talk about body language! He looks like he's going to start crying.

[kitkatrose]

26. Bipartisanship at its finest.

[realFedUp]

30. Kerry's wrapping this one up neatly

Great timing. Gives hope

[oldtime dfl_er]

[antonialee839]

Give me a break governor of Texas

[Tatiana]

35. Despite Schieffer's easygoing with Bush, Kerry is doing fantastic!

"I've tried to find the common ground because that's what makes us strong as Americans."

No idealogues, no secret meetings, open election system up to more people.

[drscm]

36. What is with that f*ing crooked smirk??????????

[crickets]

Partisan divisiveness

is a big problem now, and I'm glad Kerry is talking about reaching across the aisle and finding common ground. Secret meetings and ideologically driven policies are killing us.

[AntiFascist]

Kerry must have a lot of Republican support by now

[nomatrix]

37. Congressional Black Caucus

http://www.blackamericaweb.com/site.aspx/bawnews/cbc801

Bush met with them only when they forced it.

[funkybutt]

52. "we're just in a period" of division...America is on the RAG!

[southlandshari]

93. Great link, thanks

I read articles at this site regularly, found it becauase I listen to Tom Joyner in the mornings.

Great article, should be passed along post-debate to all "mainstream" media outlets and anyone else who will listen!

[rocktivity]

38. Complemented Bush on his terrific job on 9/11

says Bush promised to meet a uniter, not a divider--and the country has never been more divided! TKO!!!!

[Neshanic]

39. No he had a record of being an ASS to democrats.

[telex54]

40. KENNEDY AGAIN!!!!! n/t

[ellie]

Why the fuck

does he keep bringing up Ted Kennedy? What is the deal with that?

[booksenkatz]

41. I love it when JK says "idear"

If we're talking about accents, give me the Massachusetts Liberal over the Fake Texas Cowboy anytime! Mass. accents are so cool to listen to. I want to hear JK say "chowda!" LOL

[booksenkatz]

67. Yeah, he loves the strong women in his family

but they aren't allowed to work or have opinions.

Whatever.

[Robert Oak]

42. Fantastics on working together - Kerry!

Bush "washington is tough"...
excuses, excuses, excuses.

[salvorhardin]

43. Ugh! No Child Left Behind again!

[muchacho]

44. stupid...

The reason he worked so well with Dems in Texas us that most of them are really Republicans in Dem drag....

[muchacho]

hitting the podium...WAAAAAAAAH!

[realFedUp]

45. They, they, they.....not taking responsibility for the tone in town

or country....yeah, you're a big part of the problem
bush.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

46. Bush's 2000 election joke falls flat

[Texas_Dem]

53. That was suppose to be a joke?

[H3Dakota]

47. What an idiot

* hoped to bring together Dems & Repubs??? He's the primary cause of it!!!! LMAO - and * brought up the 2000 election as dividing the country!!!

[H3Dakota]

61. Sweet question...

sucky ass answer out of *, of course...

[Spiffarino]

48. I love that he got tough on the closed meetings

That's the biggest problem in D.C. today. Now he's talking about meeting with Kennedy. Do you think he'll mention the fact that he back-stabbed him on the NCLB?

Ooh, he's pounding the table...not good, Shrubbie.

[gumby]

McCain luvs me best!

[autorank]

McCain has gone non linear; pic w/him, his wife and * pathetic.

I was embarassed for McCain for having his wife in the same room w/* after the vile insults.

[kitkatrose]

49. The 90s were a time of division?

[salvorhardin]

74. Yes they were.

Newt Gingrich and Rush Limbaugh worked very hard to make them so.

[acmavm]

50. bush* and that deer in the headlights look is a dead give away to what

an intellectual vacuum he is.

Totally vacant looks except when he knows he's just been hit with a zinger.

[ellie]

51. Bush sounds

out of breath. He keeps jumping from subject to subject and now he just brought up Iraq. WTF?

[drfemoe]

54. NOW Teddy Kennedy is his FRIEND?

Isn't he a "librul from Massachusetts".. sheesh

Two FACED!

[crickets]

55. Kerry's constant mention

of McCain finally found its mark! He just lost it!

[ReadTomPaine]

56. Laura Bush is strong?

[spooky3]

64. the most important thing * has learned from strong women is to stand up

straight?

How flattering to them.

[Ilsa]

Only her breath.

[Spiffarino]

68. When she takes her "happy pills" she is

La la la la la...

[direwolf]

[Maiden England]

McCain is MY FRIEND, not yours. WAHHHHHHH

[telex54]

85. Poor McCain...

We all know he despises Bush.

[Thor_MN]

63. Pickles is strong???? She's not so tough without her car....

[smirkymonkey]

110. Touche...

[kitkatrose]

65. I call bullshit on that question. Too softball to end the debate with.

[Neshanic]

66. "I have McCains LOVE CHILD! There I confess..." Sobbing.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

69. THEN STAND UP STRAIGHT

AND STOP SCOWLING YOU MONKEY!!!!

[realFedUp]

70. Strong women, two daughters each

Bush says to listen to them....stand up
straight and not scowl...Bush loves his
wife and daughters...what a softball question.

Oh well. Bush admits Laura speaks better
English than he does...oy.

[Blue-Jay]

71. OMG. * actually said "terror".

Not "terra". First time for everything I suppose.

[bkcc]

72. Whoa! Did Dubya just say he loves his wife and "her daughters"???

[Ilsa]

82. I guess he has always suspected they aren't his!

[cal04]

92. I wouldn't be surprised

if that's what he said

[Duncan Grant]

73. Aw, shucks - I'm so dumb. Women are great. I'm so dumb. Women are great.

[Texas_Dem]

[kitkatrose]

77. Love at first sight.

:puke:

[spooky3]

87. CNNfn undecideds LOVE Kerry's humor at this question

[Tatiana]

79. LMFAO!

Gotta admit, Bush can make fun of himself.

The thing is, he seems to get a kick out of the fact that his wife speaks better English than the President of the United States does.

[antonialee839]

Good Kerry Joke

[funkybutt]

80. "love at first site!" Bush on the verge of tears

[cjbuchanan]

83. Ball is in McCain's court

If he doesn't come out in the next couple days and say that Kerry is not for defeat in Iraq, then he has no spine.

[cjbuchanan]

98. So George even lied to his wife

Said she would not have to give a speech but she came around.

103. Kerry went yard on the wife question!!!

[AntiFascist]

86. ooh, that made him scowl!

[cjbuchanan]

108. I picked up on that as well

It also seemed like George was kicking himself when Kerry mention his mother. I'm sure he was wishing he had done that. That said, I don't think Bush's mom would tell him the same thing as Kerry's mom.

[Tatiana]

[ellie]

120. When Bush

starts talking about things he thinks people want to hear, his voice drops, like he is trying to be compassionate.

[AgadorSparticus]

121. BWAHAHA! kerry made a funny too and it pissed off *!! * expression

It felt so good to hear JK say that. I want to hear that from him again and again.

It's amazing; Kerry talks positively in his closing comments and Bush has to hammer the terrorism angle one last time. sigh.

[crickets]

137. Kerry gets the cheers from the crowd!
