Another debate is over.....and both candiates did a great job with all the questions asked. President Bush really came prepared and and well rehearshed this time. But of course this is the type of forum he is best at. John Kerry on the other hand is one of the most skilled debater i have seen in politics. Questions from the people of Missouri were ????..many of us wants to know the answer too....
Bush did appear presidential,but I found him to be to hardnose when it came to some of the issues. I know as president he has many hard decisions to make but what about all the people whi have differing opinions from him. He appeared to be telling america that his way or no way. I thought a president was to do the will of the people not just his own personal view. It is just like the abortion issue when he talked about that. I know he is dead set against abortion but there are millions of people who disagree with him. This question really touched a nerve with me...I am not for abortion either personally for myself but I am not going to insist my personal values on you or anyone else.
I am just wondering who is going to take care of these
unwanted children, love and provide the needs of this child.
Today, there are already children that are not being cared for now in america.
I'm upset...I'm going to bed......

Spin! Spin!.....I watched the debate last night as many of you did....and I did not see or hear anything different that these 2 candidates haven't already put out there...so I think they were a wash.......Both I thought did a good job witht he debating process. I can't say one or the other won the debate. Depending on who was being interviewed on the big news channels the spin doctors were out in force last night, spinning their preference as to was the winner. The winner actually was the person sitting in front of the TV set watching the debate themselves. Both men had their own script and spouted their campaign sound bites...which leads me to believe wondering...Is this really their beliefs or is this what they are just saying to win an election.
Does it really matter what they promise? or what they tell you now....I do believe that our country went to war for the wrong reasons...and as time goes by..it is being proven...but I do support our troops now that were are there....Whether you believe in the war or not...Support our Troops

Breaking News: Fox News Apologizes to Kerry
AMERICA'S Fox News apologised today for posting phoney quotes from US Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry on its website. Carl Cameron, a Fox reporter who covers the Kerry campaign, wrote an item that had looked like a news story but had made-up Kerry quotes, said Paul Schur, a Fox spokesman.
The item was not intended to be posted on the site. "Carl made a stupid mistake which he regrets," Mr Schur said. "And he has been reprimanded for his lapse in judgment. "It was a poor attempt at humour." The phoney item read in part:
"Rallying supporters in Tampa Friday Kerry played up his performance in Thursday night's debate in which many observers agreed the Massachusetts senator out-performed the president. "'Didn't my nails and cuticles look great? What a good debate!' Kerry said Friday." The item also quoted Kerry as saying of himself and President George W. Bush: "I'm metrosexual - he's a cowboy." After withdrawing the item, Fox posted a statement on its website apologising for the error.
It said: "The item was based on a reporter's partial script that had been written in jest and should not have been posted or broadcast. We regret the error, which occurred because of fatigue and bad judgment, not malice." Mr Cameron had been a political reporter for Fox News since 1996, Mr Schur said. Asked about the incident, Kerry spokesman David Wade said: "America would be stronger if only George Bush could admit his mistakes as easily."

What is all the hoop-to-lou about the debate? Did it change your mind about either of these two men? I don't think so....Debates are just a showcase for the media to have something to talk about for a week, instead of talking about the real issues. Fox News has talked about it ever since Thursday night.....of course they have put their spin on it, and make excuses for President Bush....Most of the news media are saying Kerry is the best debater...hahahaha!! I am interested in the best person for the job...not who is the best debater...or who is the best speaker in a debate. I listen for substance ...people get smart and listen to what they are saying, instead of how they act when they speak. GET SMART !!! and Listen UP........
