I'm tired of politicians who talk about family values that don't value families.

I"m not going to appoint a judge who is going to take away a constitutional right.

Let me go a step further. Fairness in America....50% of black males are unemployed in New York City. and on and on and on and on...

Bush is taking a gigantic pounding. He's leering like a streetyard bully who's been caught.

That Texan is taking a terrible horsewhipping! Somebody put George W. out of his misery!

I tried to find the debate on C-Span, but it didn't seem to be working for me.

George W. ...is truly fucked. Whoever was listening knows who the idiot is now.

Hasta la vista Dubya!

I believe the text of John Kerry's contributions match some of the sublime gentleness of a previous senator from Massachussi.....

Then comes along Dubya.

"I pray a lot. ...I pray for strength...for wisdom.

That's the great thing about America. (long commercial follows)

Prayer and religion sustained me. ...I love the fact that people pray for me. ...

I believe that freedom in Afghanistan is a gift from the almighty.

Dubya:Freedom is a gift from the almighty.

Kerry:Everything is a gift from the almighty.

Kerry is kicking the shit out of this Texas two-stepper. Yeeeeee Ha!

(Found it online here.)

And now he's using Christian religious imagery to support his killing and his pillaging of the poor in his country. That pisses me off so much.

I will pledge to you.....a genuine effort to restore hope and possibilities for Americans.

Dubya: My biggest disappointment in Washington...blah blah

entrenched special interests....

talk about their issue. I will dig in.

My plan will succeed in Iraq. My opponent will retreat and defeat.

Strong women...need to be listened to. To stand up straight and now skowl. (laughter from the audience which violates the rules of the debate!!!!!!!!!!)

...met her in the backyard.

...who married up. .., some would say maybe me more than others...
(laughter has equalized. all is normal)

I can sometimes take myself too seriously. ...I think we are both very lucky (referring to the women in their lives)

[ 13 October 2004: Message edited by: N.Beltov ]

we can have health care for all Americans.

I will fight to defend this nation I love.

I believe we can do better.

I ask you for your trust and health...blah blah blah...and most of all to be safer.

God bless the United STates fo AMerica.

Duby: .....east side of the mountains...to see the day that is coming and not the day that is going...attack o9n our country.

blah blah blah lie lies lies

achievement gap in America.

The Kerry supporters sound intelligent and are actually analyzing the debate. The Bush supporters are calling up and saying, "He's a good Christian man. I think Jesus guides him. I think he won the debate," etc. One woman even said that Bush's excellent performance was the best moment in American history.

It's so funny to see the difference between the supporters. The Bush supporters sound so STUPID.

(Well, actually, one guy sounded intelligent, and at least he didn't pound the Bible. But most of the Bush supporters are, like, "I think Bush won the debate because I LOVE JESUS and so does Bush!")

.....but he threw some astounding haymakers that I really am suprised Dubya didn't run into the corner and whine for his mommy. Honest to God!

Dubya has an ugly, leering demeanour. This is worth some analysis.

CBS claims that Kerry lost votes among women. His running mate is pounding back.

Canada...Canada. Again and again in the debate and in the discussion after. Our great underpopulated country is continually held up as a shining light from the north...acknowledged easily by both candidates...

Canada is the dream of America.

America is the nightmare of the world.

If Dubya wins it will be a Canadian nightmare.

Dave Letterman: Bush was losing so badly that he tried to buy a vowel.

Good one Dave Letterman!!!!!!!!!

The CBC moderator then pointed out that most of the Canadians watching her were probably "liberals" by US standards, and asked "What's wrong with being a liberal anyway?" She looked stunned, as if that question had never entered her head before, as if the very notion that "liberal" could possibly be anything but a negative term was incomprehensible. She then stammered a bit, babbled aimlessly, then got back on track and repeated that "Kerry is a LIBERAL. We can prove it."

Voter:no drugs from Canada but flu shots from Canada are OK. Ha ah. ha. This voter is astute.

Voter2:Minimum wage needs to be brought up. I will be voting for Kerry.

I'm going to check out the transcript. It should be good and I think, if I haven't mentioned it more than once already, that Kerry has some fine stretches of speech. Both candidates used their hands intelligently...but Kerry was the fastest off the mark.

Kerry looks like he could cut pizza with his bare hands.
Chop chop chop his hands seem to say...
