The polls are out at the news web sites. Couldn’t find one at Fox News, but ABC News, NBC News, CBS News, CNN, and MS-NBC all show Kerry having won, with about 70%-95% (CBS) of the vote. Fox News, however, flirts with credibility with their debate fact check. I expect the guy that wrote that [...]

Tgirsch's Debate Analysis
Posted in Politics on September 30, 2004 | 2 Comments »
My feeling (biased though it may be) is that Kerry was a lot more on point than Bush was. Whether or not you can call that a win remains to be seen. It seems to me as though the two candidates had completely different strategies. Kerry seemed to be working to appeal to the swing [...]

And these are all Repubs or neutrals (I think — correct me if i am wrong): As far as the debate goes, I don’t see how anybody could look at this debate and not score this a very clear win on points for John Kerry.” — Joe Scarborough “I thought the President was repetitive and [...]

I really think Kerry won this debate. In addition to Bush’s odd and defensive performance, Kerry did very, very well. He demonstrated exactly what his positions were, and made Bush try to defend his failures on Iraq, on North Korea, and on Iran. And Bush failed to provide any kind of defense. He essentially just [...]

As with Kevin, most recent stuff first. (I’m about an hour behind because of phone calls…) Now Bush mongers fear to lead off his closing statement. If America shows uncertainty (by voting for the other guy), then we drift toward disaster. More flypaper. Offhanded reference to no draft. Interesting that Bush is talking about Afghanistan [...]

Hit and run points out that the President of Poland thought about Iraq: “They deceived us about the weapons of mass destruction, that’s true. We were taken for a ride.” Bush’s real record on nuclear proliferation: Serious questions remain, however, as to the willingness of the President to back up these proposals with financial and [...]

This is why our democracy is so dysfunctional: That’s not really the same, is it? Bush said Iraq had WMD. It didn’t. Bush said Iraq had ties to al-Qaeda. It didn’t. Kerry said the war has cost $200 billion when in fact $200 billion is merely the pricetag for paying for everything we’re currently committed [...]
The Party of Torture
Posted in Politics on September 30, 2004 | Comments Off
The Washington Post is reporting on the legalize torture bill mentioned here yesterday: The provision, part of the massive bill introduced Friday by House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.), would apply to non-U.S. citizens who are suspected of having links to terrorist organizations but have not been tried on or convicted of any charges. Democrats [...]
