Kerry Likely Cheated In Debate
| Sun, 10-03-2004 - 4:20pm |
DRUDGE Report today shows video of Sen. Kerry cheating during debate. Despite agreement by both participants that notes could not be used during the debate - Kerry apparently brought notecards to the podium. LOOKS LIKE THE SMOOTH TALKING SENATOR CHEATED!

Go ahead, Vote for your precious Bush on November 2nd.
First, please prove that Bush deceived us about going to war with Iraq. The 9/11 commission couldnt do it. Michale Moore couldnt do it. The media has not been able to do it, but I guess you have the smoking gun?
Second, plesae prove that the Bush family is in cahoots with Saudi Arabia. The Saudi Royal family and the Bush family are both engaged in the oil business, which is their only link.
Third, why would someone want to report that people of arabic descent were learning to fly planes? Your comment would receive a stringent attack by the ACLU for racial profiling.
I din't think he had to go so far as pulling that sneaky and creative move of turning his back (perhaps he was wiping his nose)...I mean, didn't I see him reading something off his shirt cuffs?

In this day and age, innuendo is just as damaging as the real thing obviously.
I guess that people seemed to forget that point.
Bush missed several opportunities to make Kerry look bad.
1) When Kerry said that Bush sent the troops into Iraq without the proper equipment, body armor, and armor plating on the Humvee's Bush should have responded in saying that Kerry had voted ever time he could to cut the budget for the military, forcing them to make cuts in certain areas, citing specific votes, which are easy enough to find. He then could have gone on to say that Kerry also voted against the $87 billion even though he said it would be irresponsible to do so. That would have been a severe body blow to Kerry.
2) When Kerry attacked Bush on the intelligence used to go to war, Bush could have come back to say in the 8 years that Sen Kerry has served on the Senate Intelligence Committee, he has missed 78% of the meetings. After 9/11, Senator Kerry did not attend any meetings for a period of one year. Another body blow, but Bush failed to do this.
3) When Kerry said that Bush was handling North Korea in the wrong manner saying that instead he would have bilateral talks with North Korea, Bush should have come back to say that this is exactly why we have the problems with NK and Iran that we do today. Clinton held bilateral talks and negotiations with NK, who then basically cheated on the agreement reached in those talks, and began to enrich uranium and plutonium. Unilateral does not work as well as multinational, when the countries directly around NK could exert extreme diplomatic and economic pressure on NK, making them see that if they continue down the road they are currently headed, they will be doing so alone.
If Bush had just managed to state these three things, he would not only have won the debate, but the election would pretty much be over today, but again, Bush failed to do this.
:o)
This is a failed presidency, the worst of my lifetime. Was he dishonest? I can't prove that... all I'll say is we need a replacement president.
And then there was his constant refrain "it's hard work!" Hmmmm...
About all George did was try to plant phrases in people's minds, like the "fuzzy math" of 2000. It has nothing to do with debating. Republicans tripped all over themselves in the days leading up to the debate saying "Kerry is a brilliant debater," all to increase expectations on him... except... Kerry delivered, making it all the more remarkable.
Bush is not only a lousy debater, he is a lousy president. At his last news conference, he could not give even one mistake he has made. Kerry gave one of his own during the debate. Humility is something that is not lost on people. I'm sure Kerry has an ego, but whilst Bush never gets hit with that... think his ego is a whole lot bigger than Kerry's.
