EDUCATION

stay in school

don't worry about making 5.15 today

Did you do the math? 7 billion dollars for 10 million pell grants. You aint going much above 5.15 an hour with 1/2 semester of college. But don't fret - neither candidates numbers made any sense.

I wish you could have heard the comments from my visitors, both Republicans...Bush looked "weasley" and did a poor job delivering his message.

Here's my Official Debate Score:

Bush did a better job than the first debate but not as good as the second. He relied on humor over substance in his arguements. His constant pounding of the podium during the debate was suppossed to enforce his "strong stance" on the issue, but instead gave me images of Mussolini. He failed to say anything new or substantive. He played it safe. Overall score B.

Kerry made an effective but decidedly low blow on Gay Marrage. He was a more effective speaker but failed to use it to his advantage. He made a couple good points, but did not say anything new. He played it safe. Overall score B+.

Both sides played it too close to the vest and were afraid to go for blood. This debate was a draw.

Terry McAuliffe

Bush smoked him, per republicans, Kerry had a draw per democrats.

All that matters is Nov 2.

Hey rpm, why have you seemed so much more reasoned as of late? I used to see your posts as pretty fanatic, but the last few days you have seemed a lot more reasonable.

thats a pretty accurate discription.

Like I said before I dont think this will have any long term effects on the polls

Just curious - on which point that wasn't all ready dipped in egg, dredged through flour and fried, did Bush "smoke " him?

I saw neither breaking new ground. I'd bet even money the polls show a draw. Guess we'll know soon.

I had it even till Kerry brought up Cheney's daughter and from that point on it was all Bush.

So as I see it over all it's 1 1 1

1 Kerry win
1 tie

rpm · « **Reply #115 on:** October 13, 2004, 10:24:44 PM »

I try to keep it on the same level as those I'm speaking with to illustrate my point. Sometimes I do go off the deep end, but it's only a response in kind to the thread.

Somebody call 911...I'm voting for 2 republicans in local elections.

1 Kerry win

But the only important one is the next one when the score will be Bush 2 kerry 0

I think Bush broke new ground on the border issue.

He will score major points with latinos for bringing up that there is in fact a need for humainitarian concernes as well as security and economic.

I think that was a great grasp on the situation at the border.

I guess I'm confused by what criteria you are using for calling "win/draw/lose".

For your own self? You are of course welcome to your opinion.

But are these calls how you think America in general saw it?

Every single indication will be, tomorrow, that Kerry took it yet again. Double-digit sized.

So.... When you say "Bush won", do you mean that "To me, I liked what he said and he won"... or are you seriously saying that this debate will go down in history as a Bush win?

Lizking · « **Reply #119 on:** October 13, 2004, 10:38:15 PM »

The criteria I use is how they respond and what they actually said. Here is my daughters take on the debate (uncoached by me, she must get it at school):

38 times she counted Kerry saying "Plan", but as she said, "he never said what the plan was". She watched for 45 minutes before she got bored (she is 12).
