Thread: The presidential debates

While I suppose that polish is important ina debate I don't think it is indicative of leadership quality. While Bush stammered a bit, and Kerry seemed to flow more smoothly I actually listened to what each candidate had to say. Bush stood his ground and acknowledged that others disagreed with his decisions, Kerry said that Saddam Hussein was a threat but that it was the wrong war at the wrong time. HUH??? Oh I get it we have to wait til he bombs us too. Also Kerrys allegience to the UN is nauseating to me. America shouldn't surrender her independance to anyone. Just the fact that Kerry wants us subject to an international court is terrifying. I don't want to see Colin Powell answering charges from some little two bit back water in an international criminal court. I can see it all now the widows of Uday and Quasay pressing charges against our military. "But your honor, it was a war crime." Puuulllleeeeessse.

Did anyone watch The View today?? Merideth was saying something about Princeton (I think it was) doing like SAT type scores on Bush & Kerry and the results showed that while Bush talked at a 6th grade level(during the debate), Kerry talked at a 7th grade level(during the debate). She was also telling about other things too. It was interesting. I wish I could find a link to it.

I didn't see Rosie but Merideth was reading this off of a paper, she said it was some kind of report so its probably posted somewhere, I just have to look harder. lol

Yeah, most don't but then again, Kerry thinks Hollywood is the "Heart of America" I tend to think the values there are not representative of this country.

Oh please. I say plenty of nice things. But since this is a Vent and Whine Forum, I do a lot more venting and whining. I am not being rude. I am merely offering my opinions.
But in the future, for the benefit of various people, I might need to offer a disclaimer:

WARNING!! SARCASM!!

As I have stated before, I am a 20-year-old female college student.
I do not, by the way, live anywhere near Happy Valley.

Seems to me that you should consider a move to "Happy Valley".

Well, the debate helped me decide something. Prior, my cry was "Anyone but Bush" and now I'm pretty happy, for the first time, with Kerry!

Polls are showing who came thru the best, and I'm sure that after the next one, this coming Thursday, the spread will be much greater. The War is his strongest point, and he came out with egg on his face. We'll be hearing about the Domestic Issues next time!

Every time I see his ad on how great the economy is, I just keep wishing we could move the state of Michigan to the Country he's talking about!
