Is this a mistake, or are you emulating the Harry one?

As a liebral, I took a spelling cue from Pfritz. What's the matter, it's only
funny or acceptable if your side dishes it out? :-)

Gould,
I cringed watching Bush and could not believe Bush's poor performance.
Once
Kerry got on a roll after 15-20 min. he dominated the debate.

No doubt. If the election were decided by last night's debate, the
permanent
population of Crawford would be going up a little.

These debates could be disastrous for Bush. Folks who watched the first
one and
concluded, "well, anybody can have an off night," will have a harder time
remaining enthusiastic behind Bush if he repeats his poor performance.
For a
guy who wants to be perceived as a courageous warrior, a Commander in
Chief, he
sure spent a lot of time running scared and acting confused last night.

It's no secret that I want Kerry to replace Bush as POTUS, but I hate to
see
anybody so humiliated in front of an enormous audience. Talk about
"encouraging
our enemies", it isn't unreasonable to arrive at a conclusion that Bush
is not
the brightest star in the firmament after watching last night's debate.

Maybe Bush will call off the next two debates "In the interest of
national
security."

Come on, Chuck. Bush was *out talked*, not 'humiliated'. Let's don't get
carried
away here!

that is all the liebrals can do, to gin up hype about kerry's 'victory' to
mask the lack of substance to his positions.

You, Taco, are a conservative.

Yes I am, but I missed the point you were making.

I disagree with either party or person, when they stoop to that name
calling. I agree that the misspelling is very minor compared to some of the
trash that is said in rec.boats, but in the past, you normally stayed above
the fray.

As a side note, I thought your comment about "conservative" was actually
funny.

You forget the interference of Lehrer who could easily have put in a few
questions to allow some reciprocal butt kicking.




Not so. Not at all. If you will recall, George Bush got confused about the
debate protocol at least twice, and launched into
rebuttals that he wasn't entitled to under the rules. In both cases, the
moderator allowed the president the additional time to
try and climb out of his hole. You will recall Kerry momentarily protesting,
and then consenting to Bush's extra time with a good natured remark something
like, "Well, I suppose it's Ok to make up new rules as we go along."

If Lehrer favored anybody, it was George Bush. I didn't notice Kerry asking for
any extra time outside the rules.

But that sort of sums up the election doesn't it? George Bush needs some extra
time (another four years) to try and figure out some answers. Rules be damned.

ahh yes another off topic post from our lil buddy harry. what a suprise.

What an embarrassing fool Bush is.

We today have a president of the United States who looks like he is the

What, me worry?

I agree with you JimH. If Bush continues to perform as bad, and Kerry
continues to perform as well, I think it would be enough to swing the key
battleground states over to Kerry.

Doug,
The DNC outperformed the RNC on this, but I don't know how many people
use
the online polls to determine who they think won.

Very interesting, that may explain the difference. I could not
find
anything similar in the rnc.org web site.

Of course not.....the RNC is not in panick mode like the DNC

Looks to me like the Dems were doing their job. Imagine if everyone
was
equally motivated. What a world.

It is comical that the liebrals wish to claim victory based on flooding
the
polls........


I would have to agree that Kerry won the debate. I don't think it was the
major knockout punch he needed nor will it sway the election one way or
the other at this point.

However, if Bush continues to perform the way he did in future debates it
may have a negative impact.

But at this point I think it is nothing more than a ripple in the water.

He might be just having fun and actually enjoy throwing a few barbs. If the
crap that goes on in rec.boats actually gets to him, I hope he does take a
break.

If not, it is fun to see someone doing a good job of debating issues. As a
whole, Gould can hold his own with anyone in rec.boats and does better than
most.

Never thought I would see the day you lower yourself to such childish
wording. I guess I was wrong Chuck.

I really think you should take a break from this group based on your
health. I mean that in all sincerity as you seem to be losing it more and
more every day.

In the end, this NG is not what is important, nor is anyone's opinion on
boats or politics.

Your health (mental and physical) and family come above all. You are
letting this NG get to you and you need to step away for a bit Chuck.

I would agree ID the elections were held immediately folloqing the
debate.......but what has 'legs'......Bush's facial expressions, or kerry's
"global approvl' comment, will determine, in the long run, who benefits from
the 'debate'

I noticed that Lehrer did allow Bush 30 secs to respond, even though the
rules stated it was up to Lehrer to decide if the candidates could get an
additional 30 secs. But if he gave Bush and extra 30 secs, he than allow
Kerry an additional 30 secs. to respond to Bush.

I am sure Lehrer is biased but it appeared that he was trying his best to
remain neutral, which doesn't mean that he didn't lob Kerry a few easier
balls. My opinion is he did give Kerry slightly easier questions, but
unless you asked each camp to provide the questions it is going to happen..

Great question Gould, I would have hired Kerry in a heart beat. Based upon
last nights interview, I can not imagine many people hiring Bush if the two
of them were the only people being interviewed for the job.

Now, if I was doing the interviewing and hiring, I would have stopped both
of them when they started to use "buzz words" and would have insisted them
give me more specific answers to my questions.

If Hannity moderated, maybe Bush could pull up to even that round.

Hey! What's fair is fair!


John H

If we all stopped being partisan for a little while and just compared the
actual performance of the two candidates in last night's face-off, we'd
have
some interesting
conclusions.

Imagine you were hiring somebody for a job, and those two candidates
showed up
for an interview. If they were interviewing for a job, (and they were),
and you
had to hire one based on the interview alone, I believe the difference
between
the candidates was dramatic enough that most peole would have been able to
identify a clear choice.
