How come you targeted Bush, even though you're against Both? They both have their strong points, and flaws, when it comes to public speaking.

Because it gets a better snap response from some people, probably

Because when somebody mentioned that the debates were prepared, I remembered how bad Bush is at talking on the spot. I've seen press conferences with him, and when somebody asks him a questions he doesn't have prepared, he has big problems.

On the other hand, I know nothing about Kerry. I've only seem him speak a couple times. I can't talk about him without being ignorant.

I'm a Bush supporter, stronger still after this debate.

One thing is for sure: Kerry did everything he needed to do. Had he messed this debate up, it would have spelled the end of his campaign. Now things are going to get competitive. Oh well, more fun!

We [three of my friends, Communist, Socialist and moderate respectively] were drawing imaginary notecards from each candidate during English class today. They're hilarious, I'll get them on the Fun Forum if I get them scanned.

There's been plenty of interviews where Bush has acted normal, even when it wasn't scripted mind you. In fact, he messes up more when it's planned. On the O'Reilly (sp?) Factor, Bush was as articulate as can be - he had no pressure, he wasn't trying to recite memorized things, he was normal.

No offense, but I think you sound ignorant either way. If all my posts were one way, I'd sound even more ignorant than I already do. I have no problem complimenting Kerry, as I don't hate him - I just disagree with a vast majority of his views

I can't vote.

I've seen Bush talk a lot, and mess up a lot. And I saw him almost get assassinated by a pretzal. And I don't say that against bush, I just love referring to that as an "assassination attempt". Let's all laugh about that.

But seriously, Bush scares me for a lot of reasons. And I don't feel like going into them right here and right now, so I won't. I think it's time for me to drink some orange juice and continue not caring about American politics.

PS: Both candidates suck!

I think this debate solidified what Kerry is all about, nothing. Senator Kerry did nothing out of what he's been doing since before the primaries, blaming one man, President Bush, for all of the United States' problems. I was unimpressed by both candidates, and despise the fact that Kerry is still mudslinging. All I saw was what I saw in 2000, a more affluent Democrat trying to confuse GWB. Bush once again reminded me of Reagan in his end of the debate.

Arta · October 03, 2004, 05:41 PM

Anyone who thinks Bush is articulate is just in denial. Sorry to break it to you.

I also thought Kerry did rather a lot of bashing, but then i thought.. well.. isn't that the point? He's trying to beat bush. Kerry's supposed to be saying that he'd be better. That's the whole point.

I thought Kerry came out on top in the debate, but Bush didn't come off nearly as badly as I thought he would. I'll be interested to see the next 2. It's also unfair to say that Kerry was the only one mudslinging - Bush was equally as guilty of that.

Everybody knows Bush is not an articulat and eloquent speaker, and nobody, not even Bush, denies it.

Arta, a Presidential candidate that just bashes the other is an idiot. Kerry hasn't really said anything other than "Bush is bad." He hasn't offered any intriguing solutions to the problem except the same old think that Democrats have done over and over for decades, and that obviously isn't the solution.

Arta, my point was that Kerry has been mudslinging since the primaries. He hasn't offered any solutions, only pointed out problems. All Kerry did the entire debate was Iraq this and North Korea that, but didn't say anything about his plan, that he claims to have, to solve the problem.
