[sbj405]

[complain jane]

[xultar]

[MaineDem]

13. I screamed at him at that one too!

WHat an arse!!!

[spooked]

After her husband "GOT KILLED" OMG

[spooked]

What did * flick off his chin? lol

[AbbeyRoad]

4. "loved her as best I could"

What?

[krkaufman]

39. "It's hard work to try to love her as best as I can..."

"... knowing full-well that the decision that I made caused her loved-one to be in harm's way."

Her husband died and you're loving her up? Come on, W. Can't you get some at home?

[krkaufman]

52. And it's NOT about you, George...

It's "hard work" for the President "loving" the wife of a fallen soldier?

How about how fucking hard it was for the soldier to leave his family -- first to combat, and then permanently -- and how about how fucking hard it is for the widow and fatherless child?

You stupid chimp.

[Zomby Woof]

5. 2 words

Bush: Rattled. Defensive.

How the hell the compliant media will spin this for him is anybody's guess.

[randr]

7. Bush sounds like a parrot

Kerry is useing facts.
Slam Dunk so far for our guy!

[complain jane]

11. wanna bet shrub bails on the rest of the debates???

[catchthefever]

8. What a piece of shit

the chimp is

[The empressof all]

Who the heck is this Missy person

And why is Bush loving her on National Television?

[Beware the Beast Man]

She's the female lead in Rove's script.

:eyes: Horrible manipulation there.

[JerseygirlCT]

First the gynos, now the president...

[JerseygirlCT]

34. First the gynos, now the president...

[NewJeffCT]

I thought I misheard that one

He did say "love her" right?

[Gregorian]

9. He's MELTING.... The hot air is running out.

After four years of the same old hot air, noone is being fooled.
And Kerry is playing his hand perfectly. One consistent position, in response to Bush's same old flip flop bs.

[iconoclastic cat]

10. "George, you ignorant slut."

[fryguy]

12. repeat after me.....terrorism is a TACTIC not NOT an emeny in & of itself

[GiovanniC]

14. KERRY: "I Understand What the President Is Talking About"

ME: "That makes one of us."

[deadparrot]

Thought the same thing.

[krkaufman]

15. Bush is a pleading, flailing child.

Kerry is standing tall and talking facts.

I can't wait to hear the post-game cable news spin.

[Kierkegaard]

16. The wheels are coming off folks.

You are witnessing the dismantling of a retarded American pResident...

[earthside]

17. Insincere

This time when talking about the deaths of US troops bush* comes across as insincere ... poor Missy.

Then he rambled into the same answer he has given to every question. That might be okay if Kerry was not coming across a so intelligent and articulate.

Score this at 50 minutes into the debate a clear win for Kerry.

[Kool Kitty]

38. earthside-that's it in a nutshell.

Insincere. W is blatantly insincere. And he is repeating himself. And stumbling.

[RafterMan]

18. The president's not getting the job done

Bingo

[Kool Kitty]

19. Bush is whiny, defensive-

Kerry is looking and sounding strong. W telling a little anecdote, comforting someone who lost a relative in Iraq. Not good enough, W. Missy lost her husband for a what? That should be the question. Kerry giving rebuttal. Sounds good. Making point about not confusing the war with the warriors.

[wolframtarant]

29. Wow...

Bush repeating himself over and over, question after question... WOW!

[wolframtarant]

Wow...

Bush repeating himself over and over, question after question... WOW!

[johnfunk]

20. fryguy nails it -- it's all over for Preznit Soundbite

Kerry's soundbites can beat up Röve's soundbites.

Make that kick the livin' Smirk outta Röve's!

[SkipNewarkDE]

21. W. is in melt-down mode

The disparity between their styles of answering, the level of detail, the specifics, etc. is unbelievable. How they will spin this is going to be more entertaining than the debate.

[SkipNewarkDE]

36. This is the wrong war the wrong place

How many times is he going to say this again?

Can't change your position, it sends the wrong message to our soldiers?

What a dumb fucking asshole.

[Rose Siding]

22. Kerry: Bush's plan is "more of the same"

[Nicholas_J]

23. Here he goes...

Bush and the annecdotal "Missy Johnson" story.

After avoiding the families of those who have dies and have been permanently wounded in Iraq, BUsh brings up the "one person" story.

He is stammering and virtually has no control over his speaking.

THis is great.

[WI_DEM]

he can't get past "wrong war at the wrong time"

must be all Rove drilled into him.

[funkybutt]

long uncomfortable silence....bwahahah

dead air time...he walked right into it

[SemiCharmedQuark]

24. Same old stuff, same old stuff from Bush. He only has one line.

[Robert Oak]

25. ouch! Kerry "More of the Same " Bush plan

right in the groin

[RadiDem]

AWOL tried at act folksy and fake sentimentality ! He's a BAD actor -

cc

[johnfunk]

"I uh [pause]" for about the 15th time

[fryguy]

ear piece is malfunctioning

[tjdee]

26. THE SAME TWO PHRASES.

Disgusting.

[AntiFascist]

27. someone alert the President....

some of the troops are wondering: "how can I follow this guy?"

[Jade Fox]

28. Bush repeating the same stuff over and over.....

[sbj405]

Pottery Barn Rule

:-)

[brooklynite]

30. Wrong war, wrong time, wrong place...

Gee, haven't I heard that before somewhere?

[GreenArrow]

62. kerry should respond

it was a war of CHOICE. We DIDN'T have or need to go.

[ClevelandSportsCurse]

31. OMG!!!!! Bush just had that blank stare!

Are there ANY brain cells in that head?

[Peanut Gallery]

That was priceless

n/t

[Maestro]

32. God Kerry is killing him

Shrub is so flustered.

[Rose Siding]

He really is. "I have a plan. He...doesn't"

Kerry is killing. Bush is sputtering cliches in repitition.

[xultar]

33. Let it GO! Chimpy.............KKKarl was effin wrong to give you that to

memorize.

[complain jane]

35. The Bush puppet's recording is stuck in the Iraq groove

and he's shorting his circuits

[Norbert]

37. Talk about deer in the headlights look.

bush has that Captain Quig (sp) look too.

[wolframtarant]

68. LOL!

Allawi, a puppet? Nawww! That's no way to treat a brave man like him!

[freetobegay]

He's mislead againg this evening

Way to go Kerry!

[Swamp Rat]

40. Kerry the Veteran speaking... 'bout damn time

Don't stop there! :kick:

... how CAN they follow this "guy" Bush??? ... HA! the "pottery barn rule" - you break it you fix it! :kick:

[Peanut Gallery]

Bush keeps responding to (and spinning)

things Kerry said about four or five turns ago.

[iconoclastic cat]

41. "He has misled again tonight..."

I LOVE it!

[Nicholas_J]

42. Kerry is tearing Bush up

Bush is showing his emotions, he is stammering, he has no control over his modulation of speech. He is tanking.

This wont matter to those who are in his base, but this is going o be decisive with the undecided voters.

[onefreespiritedchick]

43. Bush's facial expressions and body language is priceless!

:)

[lwcon]

absolutely, but...

will the media accurately report on how badly Bush is getting whupped tonight?

[lwcon]

78. shrub keeps begging for redirect time

looks weak

[Dudley_DUright]

44. Kerry brought up the 14 permanent bases

Excellent!!!!!!!

65. Robot says: It's hard work. Over and over.....

[SkipNewarkDE]

75. Anyone who does that to you is an asshole, dude

Ignore the zealots.

If you are respectful and not abusive, and have a different point of view or an opinion, why shouldn't you be allowed to express it and enter the debate? My blog is a far left rag, but we have a couple of far right contgributors who make the arguments worth having. Singing to the choir is masturbation, in my opinion... debating ideological oppononents is what political discourse is all about.

[alcuno]

90. Nope. You won't get banned as long as you make fun of them.

Welcome to DU. I hope you can stay, but don't cross the line.

[GiovanniC]

46. To Both Bush AND Kerry:

When you talk about the "War on Terror", and who it can help...

could you PLEASE, PLEASE list America first, and not Israel? Is that too much to ask? I'm tired of the list being: Israel, America and the rest of the world.

Both of them have said it in that order tonight.

[Cush]

47. Kerry: We're building 14 bases there (Iraq)

and by only guarding the Oil buildings, you're sending the wrong message to the Arab world

[are_we_united_yet]

48. This is painful!

I can't believe he's supposed to be in charge.

[Girlieman]

Pinch me, I'm dreaming

Right?

Is this really happening? Kerry is crushing his boot heel in Bush's bloody face.

Bush is so dazed he's starting to talk in tongues. right, er wrong war, er right place, er wrong place, er err eerrrrr

[johnfunk]

49. Skinner's right: * is bored. Angry -- and doin' a SLOW BURN

He sees the writing on the wall:

KERRY IN A LANDSLIDE!

[DemoVet]

50. Did anyone besides me catch * saying the inspections weren't working?

That's a new one.

[Texas_Dem]

Where is that fork? Shrub is done.

[Thrill]

51. Kerry isn't insulting him enough

Say something about his stuttering

[crickets]

When you guard the oil facilities

and ignore the nuclear facilities, people might say, "Well, they're only interested in our oil."

Kerry is kicking butt.

[marigold20]

53. Bush does look awful

He just can't stand it - someone who isn't a yes man is daring to correct him. He looks so pissed - but who am I to say, maybe that's his "resolute" face.

[ClintonTyree]

54. Rove must be......................

choking on his fat rolls right now. I'd love to be a fly on Rove's wall right now.

[iconoclastic cat]

Yep, Shrubby's going to make him squeal like a pig.

[meti57b]

55. each Kerry statement is complete, concise, informative and interesting.

It's like he is giving 90 second speeches with beginning, body and end. ... GREAT!!!

[PATRICK]

79. Format now favors Kerry

keeping him tightly on target. No Gore here and Bush could use ten seconds and a quick exit. Tailoring the format has backfired terribly on the Bush team.

[Thor_MN]

56. Fox's split screen has * podium 5" higher than Kerry's to make them the

same height!!! How the hell did they get the video pool? Why should an agancy with a declared bias in their mission statement get to be involved in ANY manner????

[johnfunk]

57. "there's a hunnrid thousan troops" -- LIIIIIAR!

[rot0r_head]

58. Gee, Bush looks a bit flustered

Perhaps he should have listened to his "sweater" of an opponent and let the convention hall be a few degrees cooler.

[AntiFascist]

59. Why are so many of the trained police cooperating with the insurgency....

to get the U.S. out?

[fryguy]

60. Bush's mind thinking..."Daddy, can I go home now....I don't this anymore..

[drscm]

61. It's hard work.... as if he knew what hard work is...

[Minimus]

72. how many times is he going to say "hard work" What an idiot!

[Cush]

63. Brought up the 100 K troop lie

[bowens43]

64. It's hard work,

It's hard work,It's hard work,It's hard work,It's hard work,It's hard work,It's hard work,It's hard work,It's hard work,It's hard work,It's hard work,It's hard work,It's hard work,It's hard work,It's hard work,It's hard work,It's hard work,It's hard work,It's hard work,It's hard work,It's hard work,It's hard work


what a fucking idiot......

[bigpathpaul]

74. must be hard work

[Deb]

77. He's telling us it's too hard

Fire this idiot

[Rose Siding]

66. He lied he lied he lied. 100,000 troops??!!

Not. It's a lie. Proved days ago with Congressional testimony. It's already been run through the media.

[johnfunk]

67. That's no way to treat a PUPPET who's c'rageous'n'brave

[crickets]

"We've trained 100,000 troops"

is a LIE. He's repeated that lie at least three times. Call him on it, Kerry!

[Girlieman]

69. Bush repeating himself

keeps talking about troops on the ground being confused.

maybe they're confused why they're there in the first place.

[complain jane]

84. If this IDIOT says "they hate our freedom" one more time as an explanation

for the violence in Iraq I'm gonna put my foot through the tv.

[Girlieman]

I would hope I wouldn't have to

the enemy attacked us?

Iraq attacked us?

[krkaufman]

70. Kerry needs to nail Bush on equating Iraq war and war on terror.

[funkybutt]

71. take a drink everytime he says "free" or "freedom"

wow...we're gonna be wasted

[SemiCharmedQuark]

85. Bad idea: Alcohol poisoning within the hour.

[Jade Fox]

73. Snarf! Bush brings up the idea that Allawi is a puppet!

[SemiCharmedQuark]

76. Bush is not even taking notes on what Kerry is saying!

[krkaufman]

91. Why would he?? He just keeps repeating the same nonsense.

[richabk]

80. Why does Bush keep forcing the extension?

And then keep repeating the same thing over and over????

[funkybutt]

81. OMG!! "They're fighting freedom!"

does ANYONE really believe that!?

[tjwash]

82. ooh ooh ooh I know this one!!

What a fargin ice hole...

[kitkatrose]

83. Fighting freedom...
