Overall I thought Kerry did better and though Bush did perform better than his original debute this year, I dont think he could keep up with Kerry. After watching this last debate I understand now why I find a liking to Kerry. Its based on logic and Kerry says and has the right agenda that makes the logic cells in my brain spark.
For example, Bushs stance on stem cell research is more based on his own rational of preserving life based on his faith. I can respect that except the cells in question are frozen and if not used will probably be thrown away. Wheres the logic in that?
Bush overspends and cuts back on internal domestic issues and then gives a passive tax break to the wealthiest. How do you spend and give tax breaks, theres no logic to it. Is that suppose to have cured the ressession and create jobs. Look at the job figures, it hasnt.
And of course the entire Iraq debate. He went into Iraq under supposed threats from Sadam, non of which turned out to be true. No wmd or nuclear programs, no links to A-Q. That was the original reason for going into Iraq. Over eleven hundred soldiers have lost their lives. And lets be real about this. A-Q are not operating in Iraq as their focus of operations. They cells are hidden around the world so as to survive and not be caught. The only people resisting in Iraq are insurgents groups who are sympathetic to Iraqs fight against invading foreigners and the Iraqis themselves.
I cant help but to notice these and other statements and claims such as Kerry is weak on defense. Factcheck.orq clearly shows his voting record and the years he voted against military spending post cold war. They even drew similar comparisons to Bush sr who cut military spending by 30% so is Bush sr weak on defense.
I would consider not attending your intelligence meetings for the first eight months of office weak on defense. I consider two airliners crashing into the two world trade centers weak on defense. I also consider presenting incorrect facts on Iraq as a valid threat weak on defence. The hard line voters are going to vote for whomever regardless of logical thinking and relying ont he news to give a fair analysis is like shooting yourself in the head for the answers. I havent seen them more biased then ever but I expected it nearing the election. About the only fair and resonable news channel left is CNN.
