I have a suggestion -- LISTEN to the debate tonight on the radio -- then see who you think won.
The ONE consistency so far in the Presidential debates I've noticed -- Kerry WILL NOT directly answer certain questions - he'll dance around it and throw up a smoke screen and just not address the main point of the question.
For example:
The lady asked him how he could assure her that taxpayer money would not be used to pay for abortions.
He went on a 2 minute tirade about people being entitled to their own beliefs on abortion, and that he would stress sex education and awareness.
He never directly addressed the main point of her question.
*BET YOU MISSED IT THOUGH -- I DID HEAR HIM SAY SOMEWHERE IN THAT TIRADE THAT HE THINKS THE US SHOULD PROVIDE CERTAIN CARE & PROCEDURES TO PEOPLE THAT CAN'T AFFORD THEM*
He didn't directly answer her, but disguised his answer with the rest of the tirade -- it appears that he supports federally funded abortions if you want one, but can't afford it......
His own words:
making certain that you don't deny a poor person the right to be able to have whatever the Constitution affords them if they can't afford it otherwise.
