Will Kerry have to debate Bush* with Cheney?

[mediaman007]

and will Bush* be sitting on Cheney's lap?

How did Bush* ever get past Gore in the '90 debates?

1. He didn't....

the media told us otherwise!

2. Will Bush* have the ability to debate Kerry?

Kerry seems to be more intimidating than Al Gore.

3. The little thingy in Georgies ear

gives him the answers. I really think that why he talks funny at times is he is repeating what he thought he heard.

4. Funny you should ask--I wrote an analysis of their first debate that

DU ran on 9 March.

You can find it here. <http://www.democraticunderground.com/articles/04/03/09_lesson.html>

The conclusion--

"Bush beat Gore because Bush ran on his record - and Gore let him get away with it, acting as if Bush's record in Texas had nothing worthy of criticism and the man was a bipartisan statesman. On the other hand, Gore, instead of running on his and Bill Clinton's stellar record, couldn't stop talking about future plans, proposals, and provisions, as if he hadn't held the second highest office in the land for the last eight years."

6. Not So! The Florida election was rigged, and rigged some more

It was the bad ballot designs, which were the smokescreen for fraud.

The bad news is that they'll probably do it again in Novermber. This time it will be the crazy voting machines that do the dirty work.

8. Well Done! I enjoyed your writing.

Gore and his advisors must have been trying to appeal to the "reasonable" right wing fanatics! We know that there are none, so why bother.

You were right, if Gore would have gone for the home run, this country wouldn't be in the mess it is now.

5. Gore kicked his scrawny ass

and I truly thought in the beginning of the first debate that Dumbya was going to start crying or run off the stage. Imagaine my surprise when I found out later that the nimrod "won" the debate!

:eyes:

7. Bush "won" by not obviously losing. He also got a lot of cheap

shots in -- "I don't govern on the basis of polls and focus groups" echoing the Rush Limbaughisms that the right wing was endlessly repeating.
