Welcome to the Debate
Whew. Just got home, still getting settled. I've got the shoes off, TV on, and am going to trot downstairs for a beverage. But first, I want to let you know what to expect from me.
Of course I'm partisan. That goes without saying. And I will be watching these debates as a partisan for GW. However, if I think Jo_Ke makes a good, sincere point, I will say so. If you feel like commenting, I'll try and keep up with that, too. I'm going to be also watching a few other blogs. Command-Post has a chatroom up.
------------
"Pluck and perseverance?"
----------
"a summit that the President hasn't done yet." So, Kerry, what besides talk talk while Islamofascists kill kill have you got plans for?
-----------
GW's great strength is his ability to sound like a human being, a regular guy sitting across the kitchen table from you and explaining some not so great things. GW says "stay on the offensive"
------------
Kerry's first cheap shot: (where is the Pres "errors of judgement") "where do you want me to begin..ha ha"
------------
First Kerry Vietnam reference "when I was in combat"
------------
GW gets in some nice pokes at the UN
-----------
Kerry slipping into speechifying with prepared statements rather than being conversational... and being totally negative
-----------
earth to Kerry ... cops/firemen are local issues, not feds
----------
GW doesn't set a timetable for withdrawal, but a standard for bringing the troops home.
---------
Kerry flip flops...says "going into Iraq was a mistake"..then when Leher asks "was it a mistake?" he says "no"
argh
--------
Take a DRINK... Kerry waives the boogeyman "Halliburton"
--------
Kerry says Kofi offered to send the UN in after the fall of Baghdad and GW said "no"...what Kerry doesn't say is that Kofi wanted CONTROL of US troops for bringing in the blue helmets.
--------
Kerry "we did not go to was as a last resort" WTF, Kerry? Just exactly what would have gotten Saddam to "cooperate?"
--------
Oh heck...is anyone keeping count of Kerry's Vietnam references?
---------
Kerry..you keep hammering on GW having "no plan" but you only have a "secret one."
Yeh, that makes me all warm and fuzzy
---------
EARTH TO KERRY... Iraq is PART of the War on Terror. A FREE IRAQ is the Islamofascists worst nightmare
---------
What Kerry doesn't say about the no-fly zone, is that we were being shot at on a consistent basis AND Saddam was wearing down the UN sanctions (with whole sale bribery)
-----------
GW "what 'global test'?" and reminds everyone that we did not join the "International [anti-America/Israel] Court"... GOOD MOVE
---------
Kerry is smooth...argh the "back door draft" perfidy!
---------
Kerry has always been consistent???
BWAHAHAH
--------
GW wants China in on the NK talks, Kerry wants to sabetoge that
--------
GW criticizes Putin for trying to grab power, also lauds him for focus on terror
-------
Closing statements
KERRY: I served in VIETNAM! Kerry is redoing his DemCon appearance
----------
Nice close by Bush
I need to go have some dinner. Later and thanks for listening.
