Bush looks like one of those FUZZY monkeys tugging on the witches cape in the Wizard of Oz.

I feel sorry for those supporters of his. They must defend there positions because they are so vocal. Hard to back down for anybody. I cannot see Bush running afairs of state and entertaining dignitaries from foreign countries at the white house with his "bushisms". I am really concerned with him touting benifits for people that do not kick in until he is almost or is out of office from his 1st term if he were to be elected. He buys into the same partisen personal attacks (ala internet and budhast temple). That hurts him. I don't think anyone wants a sniping ,whining, vindictive man at the wheelhouse of dipomacy.


Gore takes 5 point jump in my opinion. 9 point lead over Bush as result of debate. IMHO

ALGORE looks like someone who thinks he invented the internet.
He looks like Bill Clinton's son
He is the only human to have ever slept with (anything) named "Tipper"

He should be hugging a tree, and protecting us.

Found it interesting both were wearing the same thing. Black suits, red ties.

We found out there were at UMass Boston and my roommate, from Boston, said that's a tiny school and couldn't figure out why they had it there. Being witty, I said all they need is a place with a stage big enough to hold a couple of goobers.

It's true, it's true. I'm not too impressed with either candidate really. Not sure who I'm gunna vote for right now. Maybe I'll just write in Alfred E. Neuman.

LOL, Russ, that was exactly what I was about to post.
Damn your timing.

perry: Read about this somewhere recently. It dates back to Kennedy vs. Nixon - Kennedy was dressed in a dark suit and Nixon was in grey, making Nixon physically look weak to the camera (first-ever televisionized presidential debate). Ever since politicians have preferred dark suits in debates.

It's amazing, Gore takes credit for helping "invent" the internet.
but....

"Gore smiled and admitted that he, too, has trouble turning on a computer -- let alone using one." ---"Gore touts job-training programs at Pittsburgh factory" , Associated Press, September 4, 1998.

One difference I noticed is that Gore constantly broke the rules of the debate he agreed to. He talked longer than he was supposed to, made noise while Bush spoke and butted in. He also constantly went off topic.
What really pisses me off is the so-called moderator. The moderator should be able to just simple cut off the mike. You talk to long, the mike gets cut off, you go off topic, the mike goes off.
It also pisses me off that most of America wont care if he was rude and broke the rules. Why is that important? If he cant follow the rules, can he follow laws, can he be trusted? It shoes that he will what is best for HIM at the expense of all others. Fight for the people, yeah right Al.... How come all those promises you made tonight werent "fought for" before now?

Because it's the truth.

These decisions are made not on principle, or research - but on emotion and what your perceptions are - that's why they're so phony... because they HAVE to be.

I agree that Gore broke the established rules for the debate more than once. It was interesting to watch, even though he annoyed the sh!t out of me.

Charisma is part of the package too in the consideration for presidents. Or if you'd like smartest guy that looks like Richard Simmons.

Red Dawn, the actual quote was that he helped invent the internet, even though he really meant that he did something involved with funding research for it. Someone around here has the quote in his sig. I read this somewhere, I can't remember where, about Gore lying about things when he has no reason to lie. The recent bit about starting a program or something that was actually started by Carter 2 years before Gore was in any position to have any say in the matter. I wish I could remember exactly what the deal was about, but I imagine someone here in the forum will elaborate.


<< New questions about the vice president's credibility were raised this week when the Boston Globe looked behind the figures Gore used to illustrate the cost of prescription drugs. The vice president said in Tallahassee, Fla., that the cost of supplying his dog with a monthly dose of an arthritis drug was $37.80, and the cost for the same drug each month for his mother-in-law was $108. The paper found that the vice president's campaign had taken the figures not from Gore family medical bills but from a study for House Democrats. And even those numbers were misused because they represented wholesale and not retail costs. >>




<< &quot;During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet.&quot; >>


I'll give you this, I wouldn't really call it lying so much as exaggeration. The problem, and this is a quote from an article at CNN, is that he tends to use exact figures in his exaggerations. That kind of makes them sound like outright lies.
Me, I'm voting for Bush. I just don't like Liebermann(censorship).

spoooon- that was the strategic petroleum reserve he took credit for making even though it was jimmy carter's admin years before gore was anywhere at all that made it.
