From a neutral's perspective
« on: October 02, 2004, 06:59:32 AM »
From what i saw of the debate between bush and kerry..

Bush got annihilated, he looked stupid, lacked knowledge, sincerity and above all it looked like he lacked confidence in a debate.

It is the first time i have heard Kerry speak, he seemed basically the opposite of above, he was very impressive.

As one who appreciates fine public speaking I have to agree. I normally cant stand to watch Bush speeches and this "debate" was even more painful.  

Yet while Kerry is obviously the superior speaker of the two I simply do not trust a word of what he says now nor do I belive that he said anything substantial regarding policy Thursday night.

Too bad, because I'm pretty sick of both of them.. Where are the real leaders?

Did you have the sound off?  You didn't listen to Kerry's erroneous facts?  

If we're going to elect a President just on the basis of his appearance let's get Pam Anderson in there.   She's over 35.

Just giving my un-biased opinion, some like to see what it is like from a neutrals perspective.  I am not trying to say who you should vote for.

If you americans like this sort of thing, you ever get to see Prime Ministers Questions over there? Every wednesday the opposition parties get to ask the prime minister questions on pretty much all current events. I love watching it.

I would have to agree with most opinions that Kerry did a much better job at articulating and speaking during the speech. I really thought the republicans were gonna train bush well enough to handle this but they def. slipped up. Although we should all stop calling it a debate because it wasnt, hell they couldnt even talk to each other.


SKUZZY FOR PRESIDENT 2008 :aok

It's one of the great aspects of UK democracy. Unfortunately Tony has succeeeded in reducing the number of appearances he has to make and the number of questions he has to answer.
Even Maggie didn't dare try that, though to be fair there weren't many who could face up to the old girl across the floor of the chamber.

I would agree with furball. But, analysists say who "wins or loses" the questions is immaterial. It's the candidate who can appear more authentically human when talking in front of a TV that usually gets the most in terms of votes out of a presidential debate.

This is going to be the worst election ever.

I may be a Republican, but I don't want to vote for Bush.

Kerry is ok, but I've seen better.


How is Nader and Perot doing?
