while kerry is much less likely to repeat anything he's said in the past.

Wow Kerry is very well versed on the presidents record. The perscription drugs from Canada could hurt Bush a lot.

[maypo]

Could any health care plan sound less effective? If you are paying 15 grand a year you will know what I mean.

nine bucks off a ten dollar prescription is what he said. that's 10% of the previous cost... i'll take that.

[Locobot]

the bush plan of discount cards is basically coupons for drugs, thanks a bunch

[Locobot]

okay seriously here, malpractice insurance is correlated to interest rates NOT lawsuit winnings. There are negligent mds out there, patients deserve protection.

[Locobot]

Senator Kennedy?

[BuddyHawks]

I like how Kerry waits till the end of a question to say his best remarks. Dosnt give Bush a chance to hit back. On to the next question directed back at him.

[irateplatypus]

the net fact checkers will have the final say... but i'm impressed with the senator's recall memory.

[maypo]

First and fourth most liberal again, doesn't Bush have anything to say? Blame the lawyers again, that's getting tired

[Rekna]

quick Poll who is winning? reply to this before reading further to avoid biasing your vote.












small break so you don't read on accident

[Rekna]

I think bush fell behind quite a bit when he yelled at the moderator.

[filtherton]

I wish i could listen to the debate, instead of the folky cover musician playing at the coffeeshop right now.

Fuck.

[maypo]

Bush is getting his ass handed to him, he doesn't even believe what he's saying.

[BuddyHawks]

I think Kerry is winning cause i agree with him. Question is who does the undecided voter think is winning?

[JumpinJesus]

The fact that Bush is so riled up at what's being said that he jumps up and interrupts both Kerry and Charlie Gibson does not bode well for him. Kerry is coming across as much more calm and collected. Bush is coming across as pissed and impatient.

[irateplatypus]

bush was getting beat in the beginning, he's hit his stride since then. it's a tie after the first two questions.

[Willravel]

Bush, "We have a deficite because the econemy was in a recession..."
"I'm gong to spend what it takes to win a war..."
"I think we have an obligation to spend that kind of money"

Kerry, "The President was handed a 5 trillion surplus, we now have a 3 trillion deficit..."
"1% of America, the top 1% of America got a tax cut of $89 billion..."

hmmmm...

[JumpinJesus]

Good question, Gibson. "You've both said you're going to cut the deficit in half, but I haven't heard a single thing from either of you that says <i>how</i> you're going to do it."

[Locobot]

the recession ended? no one told me

[irateplatypus]

i get the feeling kerry is trying to sell me a dodgy used car.

Do you make enough money to matter? Or are you one of those "lucky duckies" that makes less than $20,000/year?

[Rdr4evr]

Bush really needs to relax before he ends up like his partner in crime.

Totally agreed. It was a great question and he really shot it at them so that they couldn't dodge it.

[maypo]

I think that allowing undecided voters to ask questions is a mistake. While it makes the debate entertaining it makes me think; Haven't they been paying attention for the last four years.

[BuddyHawks]

"He looked at me like my clock was up"....awesome

[Willravel]

Did Kerry just say 'fuzzy math'? We don't need to revisit cute little phrases like this.

Yet they're both trying to. He brought it up again.

[trickyy]

And again they both dodged it.

[maypo]

You can run but you can't hide? Thats what BUsh said about Osama Bin Laden. Seems like he hid pretty well.

[BuddyHawks]

did he just say " we have a plan to increase the wetlands by 3 million " ??? what does that even mean?

[intecel]

Question going thru my mind... 3 million what? lol

[JumpinJesus]

"We're gonna cut down trees so they don't get destroyed in fires. We're <i>protecting</i> them."

</oversimplification>

They're going to flood Florida again. It's all part of the plan.
