Yes, and, your rebuttal?

[Moral Hazard]

Dred Scott decided that Black men couldn't be citizens. Im not sure about property rights, Taney(chief justice) basically said that All men couldn't have included blacks

I missed the begining of the debate. So I thought it was dead even. Both avoided alot of questions. Either way were headed for deficits, Kerry lost me a little with this one.

I'm actually considering voting for Kerry instead of a 3rd party condidate now.

somebody stop me!!

I'm still kind of scared to vote for a liberal. I'm afraid doing so will turn me into some hideous pro-big goverment monster

I take it you didn't even notice the "new" quote I created from your original statement?

What do you think Kerry would have said? I'm sure he would have said his mistakes all related to giving Bush too much credibility in foreign policy information.

The question should not have been answered any more specifically than Bush did.

[quoteH]e had the perfect answer to the abortion question, and Bush came across as LOUD and ANGRY for the first half of the debate.[/quote]

I agree. However, most Dems are anti-abortion, and Kerry was obviously for it. That can hurt him

[MrFun]

Geronimo, making some obscure, unclear reference to making appointment mistakes and then gloating about the right decisions you made, does not answer what was originally asked.

I bet the person who asked it was peeved.

I'm biased in favor of Kerry -- but that did not stop me from critiquing Edwards's performance in the VP debate.

[Al B. Sure!]

MrFun:

thats one of those questions that you get in school that ticks you off cause it should be easy but your mind can't think like that... it's one of those touchy-feely questions. you think Bush could just come up with 3 things (why in god's name did she pick 3? aint that a bit much?) that he considers mistakes and outline them in 2 minutes? yeah right. that was a bad question.

[Moral Hazard]

They are?

Yes. I think he answered that question as well as he could considering it was quite loaded. Besides, there were huge dodges by both of them in many questions. Particularly as Diss noted, the deficit question I really wanted to hear how their numbers stacked up.

Both must be using "fuzzy math" because their numbers can't possibly compute. Both propose new spending, both promise tax cuts, and both want to cut the deficit in half. Ummm. Doesn't work. Gibson was great for really pressing that issue, asking both of them several times to put up some numbers, but both refused to do so. That should bother you more, Fun.
