There is no doubt that with every political debate both sides of the issue will always say that there candidate won. With the first debate, which I feel was a very prepared and unimpassioned format most agree that Kerry "won the debate". I agree that he was better at reading his notes and the teleprompter. But we don't need a salesman we need a president.
Just as the Kerry campaign did after the first debate they immediately sent out emails to millions declaring Waffles as the winner of the second debate. Well, this time they were way off the mark and were attempting to do nothing more than influence the ignorant.
Even a senior correspondent from The Communist News Network (CNN) declared Bush the winner. Fox News analysts declared Bush the winner. Most media outlets felt that Bush made his points while Kerry straddled the fence.
The Bush Campaign had this to say about the Presidents victory:
President Bush won a decisive victory last night. The President dominated the debate with impassioned, thoughtful and concise arguments that left Kerry looking petty and defensive as he sputtered out tired, false political rhetoric and distortions that shattered his credibility and contradicted the Senator's 20-year record of being on the wrong side of history on national security and domestic policy.
Our inbox is flooded with e-mails from all over the nation reflecting the President's decisive win. I'd like to share a few comments with you:
You were awesome. You were on target, forceful without being mean, you have Kerry on the run, he's not sure of himself, you have the facts and they're on your side. - Tom Johnson - Orient, OH
You will win because you are right. - Kerry Preston - Littleton, CO
You did a terrific job! Some of us are republicans and some are democrats and we all agree that John Kerry is definitely not Presidential material. You have our vote. - Carrie Miller & Friends - Lumberton, NC
We're standing behind you for victory! - Cindy Lippincott - Tampa, FL
You looked great tonight. You spoke well. You defended your positions effectively, yet respectfully. You are my winner tonight. - Edwin Cruz M.D. - Virginia Beach, VA
The President, however, said it best:
"He's got a record. He's been there for 20 years. You can run but you can't hide" - President Bush
John Kerry has a 20-year record of weakening national security and President Bush was on the offensive last night against John Kerry's naive and dangerous ideas.
Kerry suggested limiting the War on Terror to a hunt for Osama Bin Laden. This represents a fundamental misunderstanding of the War on Terror.
Kerry tonight said that Saddam Hussein was a threat, but said we should not have dealt with that threat.
Kerry suggested that Saddam Hussein could be contained with sanctions, in contrast to his own previous assertion that a "policy of containment" would be "disastrous."
Kerry proposed a return to failed policies of unilateral negotiations with North Korea that proved a failure during the Clinton administration.
Kerry refused to retract his proposal for a "global test."
Kerry again denigrated our allies by saying we are going it alone.
John Kerry has a 20-year record of supporting bigger government, higher taxes and higher health care costs.
President Bush exposed John Kerry's hypocrisy on health care by addressing John Kerry's $1.5 trillion health care that would take away choices without reducing the cost of health care.
John Kerry blocked medical liability reform ten times.
President Bush exposed John Kerry's record of proposing $2.2 trillion in new government spending.
President Bush was in command of the issues, the facts, and the stage, and clearly won on style and substance last night. He exposed and dismantled Kerry's record of voting against intelligence funding, against our troops, against medical liability reform and against tax relief for working families.
This type of debate is what we need to see more of. This debate showed both men for who they really are. President Bush came off looking like the patriot he is and Kerry just looked like a career politician liar.
Oh and by the way, this was my 300th Post!!!
