You were awesome, Senator Kerry! |
You were precise and direct giving detailed solutions to some of America's
toughest problems.
Your closing statement was excellent!
--
Let me be clear, the vote I will give to the President is for one reason and
one reason only: To disarm Iraq of weapons of mass destruction, if we cannot
accomplish that objective through new, tough weapons inspections in joint
concert with our allies.
In giving the President this authority, I expect him to fulfill the
commitments he has made to the American people in recent days--to work with
the United Nations Security Council to adopt a new resolution setting out
tough and immediate inspection requirements, and to act with our allies at
our side if we have to disarm Saddam Hussein by force. If he fails to do so,
I will be among the first to speak out.
If we do wind up going to war with Iraq, it is imperative that we do so with
others in the international community, unless there is a showing of a grave,
imminent--and I emphasize "imminent"--threat to this country which requires
the President to respond in a way that protects our immediate national
security needs.

Only a total idiot would think that electing one or another of these
stooges will fix any real problems.
It's a soap opera, designed to keep you distracted. In your case, it
succeeded.

I could swear the crowd was cheering Kerry as he was preparing to leave the
stage. Bush high tailed it to lessen the pain and get rested for his next
round of campaign lies.

The "richer broad" that he signed a pre-nub with, keeping their
pre-marital assets separate? You mean that one?
Character assassination, especially one as pathetic and meaningless as
yours, is usually a sign of a weak and desperate position.

A pattern of deception
A hard truth appears to have escaped the notice of the public and received
scant attention from the media: Bush is the first president in American
history to use deceptive propaganda as his main means of communications in
selling his policies. His pattern of deception continues unabated and in
direct conflict with the notion of the public's informed consent that is
central to American democracy.

Evans School of Public Affairs.

The polls speak for themselves....52% of people in the Gallup Poll thought
Kerry won, compared to only 39% for Bush, despite 8% more Republicans than
Democrats among the audience. Ouch!

We'll see what factcheck.org has to say about the debate in a few days.
In the meantime, I'll accept CNN's analysis, which is giving the debate
to Kerry. Personally, I think they faired equally well.

Nobody is going to take your guns or your Bible, foo.
Here's what 8 years of Democrat Rule did in Clinton's own words
(they make Bush look pretty sorry by comparison):
8/14/2000:
"Today we have gone from the largest deficit in history to the
largest surpluses in history.
And if -- but only if we stay on course, we can make America debt
free for the first time since Andy Jackson was president in 1835.
Or for the first time in decades.
Wages are rising at all income levels, we have the lowest
child poverty in 20 years, the lowest poverty rate for single
mothers ever recorded.
The average family's income has gone up more than $5,000, and
for African-American families, even more.
The number of families who own stock in our country has grown by
40 percent.
You know, Harry Truman's old saying has never been more true.
"If you want to live like a Republican, you better vote for the
Democrats."
But our progress is about far more than economics.
America is also more hopeful, more secure, and more free.
We're more hopeful because we're turning our schools around with
higher standards, more accountability, more investment.
We have doubled funding for Head Start and provided after school
and mentoring to more than a million more young people.
We're putting 100,000 well-trained teachers in the early grades
to lower class size.
95 percent of our schools are already connected to the Internet.
Reading, math, and SAT scores are up and more students than ever are
going on to college thanks to the biggest expansion of college aid
since the G.I. Bill fifty years ago.
Now, don't let anybody tell you that all children can't learn or
that our public schools can't make the grade.
Yes, they can. Yes, they can.
Now, we're also more hopeful because we ended welfare as we knew it.
Now those who can work must work.
On that we and the Republicans agree.
But we Democrats also insisted on support for good parenting.
So that poor children don't go hungry or lose their health care,
unmarried teens stay in school, and people get the job training,
child care, and transportation they need.
It has worked.
Today there are more than 7 1/2 million people who have moved from
welfare to work, and the welfare rolls in our administration have
been cut in half.
Because of the way we cut taxes, to help Americans meet the challenges
of working and child rearing, this year alone our Hope scholarship and
Life-Long Learning tax credits will help ten million families pay for
college.
Our Earned Income tax credit will help 15 million families work their
way into the middle class. 25 million families will get a $500 child
tax credit.
Our Empowerment tax zone credits are bringing new businesses and new
jobs to our hardest pressed communities from the inner cities to
Appalachia to the Mississippi delta to our native American
reservations.
And the typical American family today is paying a lower share of its
income in federal income taxes than at anytime during the past 35
years.
We are more hopeful because of the Family and Medical Leave Act.
A bill that the previous administration vetoed.
They said it would cost jobs.
It's the first bill I signed.
And we now have a test.
Twenty-two million new jobs later, over twenty million Americans have
been able to take a little time off to care for a newborn child or a
sick relative.
That's what it means.
That's what it really means to be pro-family.
We are a more secure country because we cut crime with tougher
enforcement, more than 100,000 new community police officers, a ban on
assault weapons, and the Brady law, which has kept guns out of the
hands
of half a million felons, fugitives and stalkers.
Today, crime in America is at a twenty-five year low.
And we're more secure because of advances in health care.
We've extended the life of the Medicare trust fund by 26 years, added
coverage for cancer screening, and cutting edge clinical trials.
We're coming closer to cures for dreaded diseases.
We made sure that people with disabilities could go to work without
losing
their health care, and that people could switch jobs without losing
their
coverage.
We dramatically improved diabetes care, we provided health coverage
under
the Children's Health Insurance Program to two million previously
uninsured
children, and for the first time in our history, more than 90 percent
of
our kids have been immunized against serious childhood diseases.
You can be proud of that Democratic record.
We are more secure because our environment is cleaner.
We have set aside more land in the lower 48 states than any
administration
since Teddy Roosevelt.
Saving national treasures like Yellowstone, the great California
Redwoods,
the Florida Everglades.
Moreover, our air is cleaner, our water is cleaner, our food is safer,
and
our economy is stronger.
You can grow the economy and protect the environment at the same time.
Now, we are more free because we are closer today to the one America of
our
dreams.
Celebrating our diversity, affirming our common humanity, opposing all
forms
of bigotry from church burnings to racial profiling to murderous hate
crimes.
We are fighting for the employment nondiscrimination legislation and
for
equal pay for women.
We have found ways to mend, not end affirmative action.
We have given America the most diverse administration in history.
It really looks like America.
You know, if I could just get my administration up here, it would be
just
as
good a picture as anything you saw a couple of weeks ago in
Philadelphia,
the
real people running it.
And, and we created Americorps, which already has given more than
150,000
of
our young people a chance to earn some money for college by serving in
our
communities.
We are more secure and we are more free because of our leadership in
the
world
for peace, freedom and prosperity, helping to end a generation of
conflict
in
northern Ireland, stopping a brutal ethnic cleansing in Bosnia and
Kosovo
and
bringing the Middle East closer than ever to a comprehensive peace.
We have -- we have built stronger ties to Africa, Asia and our, Latin
American
and Caribbean neighbors, we brought Poland, Hungary and the Czech
Republic
into
NATO. We're working with Russia to destroy nuclear weapons and
materials.
We are fighting head on the new threats and injustices of the global
age,
terrorism, narcotrafficking, biological and chemical warfare. The
trafficking
of women and young girls and the deadly spread of aids and in the great
tradition of President Jimmy Carter, who is here tonight, we are still
the
world's leading force for human rights around the world.
Thank you, President Carter.
Now, the American military is the best trained, best equipped, most
effective
fighting force in the world.
Our men and women have shown that time and again in Bosnia, in Kosovo,
in
Haiti,
in Iraq.
I can tell you that their strength, their spirit, their courage and
their
commitment to freedom have never been greater.
Any adversary who believes those who say otherwise is making a grave
mistake.
Now, now, my fellow Americans, that is the record.
Or as that very famous Los Angeles detective, Sergeant Joe Friday used
to
say,
"Just the facts, ma'am."
Let's remember, I ask you, let's, I ask you, let's remember the
standard
our
Republican friends used to have for whether a party should continue in
office.
My fellow Americans, are we better off today than we were eight years
ago?
You bet we are.
You bet we are.
Yes, we are.
Yes, we are.
But, but -- yes, we are, but we are not just better off.
We are also a better country.
We are today more tolerant, more decent, more humane and more united.
Now, that's the purpose of prosperity.
Since 1992, America has grown not just economically, but as a
community.
Yes, jobs are up, but so are adoptions.
Yes, the debt is down, but so is teen pregnancy.
We are becoming both more diverse and more united.
My fellow Americans, tonight we can say with gratitude and humility, we
built
our bridge to the 21st century.
We crossed that bridge together, and we are not going back. . . "

Lack of substance noted.
Bush provided his best performance to date. Kerry provided rhetoric, the
President provided substance.
