Presidental Debates

[Igloo]

Without being biased, who do you think won the presidental and vice-pres debates, and why?

Personally, I was suprised Bush didn't pass out or stand there drooling.  But I do think Gore won , same with his vice.

Igloo, your post should read like this.

    I am a democrat. I think all Repulicans are dumb, ugly and stupid. I think the debates are a waste of time because I am so closed minded to open up and SEE the issues and LOOK at the people running.

   BTW I thought neither of the canidates won that debate. It was a more of a feeling out debate. Gore with his sighing and 12 year old antics while Bush was talking really did disturb me though.

   The VP debates on the other hand were a different story. Sure it was boring as hell, but at least Lieberman acted his age and debated Cheney on a mature level.

I’m biased. I support Bush because of his policies on education, and his overall conservative platform. I was relieved that he did as well as he did in the debate.

I would most likely vote for Bush even if he were clearly beaten by Gore in that setting. I think many people are the same way. If you already know what kind of government you want for the country, you minimized the weaknesses of your candidate in this debate. If you were sitting on the fence before the debate, you probably still are.

I was more impressed with the VP debate than the Pres. Who knows who won as it doesn't matter how they did but how the media spins it. What I've seen so far, the media is spinning as expected.. Gore wins (which is BS). It's all turned into such as load of crap. Doesn't matter what's right or wrong, your track record or anything .. just who spins what last and who has the best commercials  

Bush isn't perfect but I feel would be better for our country in more ways than Gore thus he get's my vote. Voted for Dole in 96, he has it over both of these candidates and still didn't win because of the media, BS commercials and a truly uninformed / don't give a crap public...

Riddle me this batman, why is the race neck and neck? With the economy as good as it is, historically Gore should be running away with this one. Why not? Because his boss is a crook, liar, and perv and he stands by his boss... not to mention Gore wouldn't know the truth if it jumped up and bit him in the arse

I can't believe we have two canidates running that actually make Ralph Nader a viable candidate

Just have to figure out wich one I dislike the least.  Such is the struggle when you have to pick which politician you like best.

Sad part is, that was enough to beat Dole four years ago....

Can't believe what a big deal they are making outa prescription drugs. They way they make it sound, we shoud see old people standing around outside drug stores like homeless people because they can not afford their medications. Talk about making a mountain out of a mole hill. If that's our biggest concern in this country, then we aint got nothing to complain about. Problem is it's one of our smallest but effect's a large voting population thus all the time and $$ spend on the inflated issue.

Didn't Gore invent the government itself?

Eagler, I think you hit it right on the head! Im in the Coast Guard and Im stationed at the St. Pete/Clearwater airport. I've lost count on how many times we have seen Bush/Cheney's plane, or AF 2 parked there. While its fun to blast their plane with rotor wash while hover taxiing, it does get old   Nothing worse than a old person...except for a pissed off old person at the pharmacy counter waiting on their pills   I know, I was at the pharmacy on Macdill getting some meds for the wife...you shoulda seen those old timers in there. It was like a mini-crash-up-derby with all their litle carts and canes

I believe Gore won.  That does not make me a democrat, or close minded.  In fact, I am Canadian, and a VERY open minded individual.

All republicans are not stupid. Bush has an I.Q. equal to that of an orange, but that does not mean all Republicans are stupid.

The reason I believed Gore won was because he actually answered the big questions.  Bush showed his inability to grasp international concepts with the question relating to Yugoslavia.  Gore immediatly corrected his response of wanting to get Russia to help with the process.  Obviously Bush had no understanding of the current relationship between Russia, Yugoslavia and the US.  Gore, being the V.P., obviously did/does.

Bush also made immature statements (albiet with broken sentences) regarding the ignorant and overly repulicized statement regarding Gore and the internet.  

I am neither a democrat, or republican.  However, based on what I have seen during this years campaign it seems that Gore knows what he is doing and has the experience.  Bush couldn't count the toes on a tadpole, has no international experience, and seems to be gung-ho in regards to the military. Baaad combination.

Elect whomever you wish.  You have that right.  But I can garentee you that you will not be better off electing Bush than if you were to re-elect Clinton.

Igloo,

It's my opinion that Cheney can get Bush up to speed on international issues...

...but Lieberman can't make Gore honest.

The following is an example of "Gore" on the horns of a delimna:

Both Bush and Gore were asked the same question:

"If a pregnant woman were on death row and her day of execution arrived, would you execute her?"

BUSH answered immediately: "Absolutely not. It would be wrong to harm an innocent life."

 GORE, who is pro-abortion, had to think a bit, realising that if he answered "No" that it would amount to admitting that the life of an unborn fetus is sacred. Gore's answer?

"Let me think about this interesting question and get back with you."

I ask you, is this the grit and substance that a President is made of?

      Ok Igloo, first of all since you are Canadian......ahh forget it.

     Secondly I'll requote you....

Without being biased...snip.....

Jeez if thats not biased then I better relook that word up in the dictionary again.

    Well seeing how you are a Canadian I guess I'll just overlook the fact that you know zip about Bush. Lets see....

Bush couldn't count the toes on a tadpole, has no international experience

being that he is the governer of Texas he has to deal with another Country all the time. His relationship with Mexico is very good. He could probably figure out a solution to fix the illegal immigration we now have in Texas California, etc. Gore on the other hand would probably start giving them welfare and the ability to vote so that they would vote democratic. Actually there is a investigation on this very matter right now.
You want to talk about his immature references about the internet,and the calculator. Well that shows how "unbiased" you really are. ALGORE CLAIMED HE INVENTED THE INTERNET!!!! This is not a myth, not a vast right wing conspiracy, not some propaganda!!! You want to talk about immature? What about all those sighs, and shuffling of paper from ALGORE while Bush was speaking? You want to lnow another thing? The Communist Party of New York has thrown in their hat of support for ALGORE. Yeah we will all be better off with him president. Hope you learn to speak Chinese very soon!!!!

Gunthr, it was a nicce setup, nice trap. And, I think it is good to take a pause to reflect before you answer a question. A friend of mine has 30 second breaks after just about any question you ask him.

"You wanna go to McDonalds"
<silence>
"Yes, that would be good"

During the silence, he's thought about whether he can afford it, whether it messes up any plans he has and whatnot. A bit irritating and weird at first, but his answers are always well structured and intelligent.
