Is Bush using "liberal" as a bad word? Will he not be my President? Since I am labeled as a "liberal"?

I cringed when he said that. Alot of moderates consider themselves liberal (about some things). Not a great choice of words.

Bush is doing so much better then the last debate. I dont know if this is a format he is more comfortable in or if he was better prepared but it shows so far.

aside from my actual commentary:

The man asked how he JUSTIFIED this deficit, not how he made it.

I love it,

"Senator if you were concerned with tort reform you would have voted for it."

"Just show up and vote for it".

Epic, John Kerry can't have an answer to that one... Ever. It's not like he's doing anything else, just show up and cast a Senate vote.

Are people really believing John Kerry is a new man over night after 20 years of not supporting what he claims he supports. This guy is full of it.

Notice how Kerry only said he disagreed with the draft after Bush declared no draft. He never said he would not enforce a draft, just that he disagreed with it. Could he be giving himself a loophole for the 40k soldiers he wants to get us?

Kerry scares me. He is tryin to make the draft an issue in this election (along with mtv) to get the young vote there who are mostly pro Kerry because of a number a things mostly music and MTV ( i can say this cause im a young voter adn know what ppl my age are doin)

BUSH RESPONSE TO #9: Kerry is proposing a 2.2 trillion dollar increase in spending. Says only will only tax rich, but he will have to tax all. Said he'll have a torte reform for OB/GYH, voted against a bill to do this. He's proposing a government sponsored healthcare system.

REBUTTAL: If he is against medical liability then whey has he voted against it.

STRONG - WIN.

QUESTION 10

Mr President, You've enjoyed majority support in the House and Senate, You have not vetoed a single spending bill excluding 120bn marked for Iraq and Afghanistan. 700bn spent has not been paid for by taxes. Explain this.



Critique: A deficit question which is logical as it ties into employment. We've had a good round so far and this adds to it. 4/5.

Clarification anyone?

Was the 5 trillion dollar surplus actually a surplus or a projected surplus?

How many stinking times can Kerry say "I have a plan" without outlining his plans. He has a plan on healthcare, war, tort reform, etc. But all he can do is point out that Bush is doing a bad job and say "I have a plan"

Does Bush forget he wanted to cut my combat pay when I was sweating my ass off in Iraq?

EDIT: Did he inherit the recession? Or was it 9/11?

Idk i think this might be planned. I thought about this b4 the debate tonight and predicted he would eb really stong on this. He let kerry win the first one kinda (on style not substance) and now kerry is underestimating him and hes plummeling him now. Smart plan

great question from moderater
both said you would fix the budget
i didn't hear either one say how you were going to fix the buget

bush defending the money spending by his administration

bush and his new jobs,

bush bringing the deficit under control, but spending?

kerry defent his health care program, the defict and the surplus and how bush has taken this country, fourth president to lose jobs

Kerry brings the tax cuts help the rich.

bush, defending his tax brake,

kerry bush lost money and money went to the wealthy.

Enron here?

We have a deficit because of recession which started before I came into office. Also, the war. I'll pay whatever it takes. We have increased Homeland Security from 10 billion to 30 billion. Tax cuts are in place to get out of recession. I believe when people have money they will invest more. We cut deficit in 1/2 in 5 years. 15%/yr before me, less than 1%/yr now.

STRONG - WIN.

Deficet: 5.6 trillion. 2.6 trillion deficet. Amazing. This 1% of america sounds like they got a nice ride from Bush. YOu earned that money? yeah. You also earned responsibility. FUnd the war that's KILLING the poor. Are rich kids in Iraq? No.

5.6 million != -1.6 million jobs. Bush is empathic. Bush is remotely slick. But these figures just prove him to be a liar. What he's doing is not working.

EDIT- ALl the repguants can do is make excuses. Read here. Look at the excuse ... but ... well ... who cares. It's the end result that spears the American people.

Kerry's tax cut sounds real nice.

He's gonna say it as many times as he can. It's the easiest way to come back at anything Bush says. "Bush's current plan is bad, mine is better". No explaination how and why it's better.
