the First Debate
Overall, I give Kerry the nod in this one. Mainly for only exposing
his liberal bias a couple of times. Bush did OK but he miss several
oppertunitys to put Kerry away. Mainly because he was too
scripted in his responses. It was obvious to me that Kerry said a
couple of talking points that Bush was either not prepared for or
he went for the kill but got ahead of himself in the response. Now
Kerry did have several negative moments. One being that he
again stated that he was going to see the war through (bad news
for his base) to victory. He stated he had a plan for winning the
war. (Down side is he has to get out some version of the plan
to the public, which to this point he has not done). Kerry did lie
during the debate. Probably because he can't help it. But
the quote: " one position” on Iraq. John, I don't have enough
space here to show all the examples of that lie. The second was
the "we went to Iraq over weapons of mass destruction (WMD)
and there were none." For all you who forgot, it was the UN ,
British, Israeli and 30 other governments; who stated that Iraq
had and was pursuing more WMD's. We have to wait for the
next debate to see who learned what.
