Nope. By choice. But my mind was made up a long time ago as I made a point to be informed . Lots of pple did watch though.

Was able to watch it... I think they both handled it well but it was obvious that Kerry had the upperhand there.

I caught some of it on telly the other afternoon, must have been replayed. I didn't actaully get to see much of the debating, George Bush looked like he was sitting there staring into space when the other dude (forgot his name) was talking, and the dude that was running it was soooooo serious I think his face would crack if he smiled, they need to get a comedian to do it!

I watched all three. And the veep debate.

Last night I was waiting for Briall at her music class. On the radio was a talk show host who said (and I quote), "it does not matter how we got into Iraq, Bush is the one to get us out".

I find this more convoluted than the track at Le Mans.

When I first joined this merry group, one of my goals was to dispell the belief that all in the US were not followers of George the Ignorant.

Our founding fathers wanted to seperate church and state. Give the church an army and they will march on the Mid East. Then some fool in the back, way in the back, yells "Bring it on" and declares the invasion a "Crusade".

On this forum is a description of a "porthole for belly buttons for people with terminal tunnel vision". Find it and you have found my thoughts of Bush.

Confused? Well, so am I. I shudder to think GW has a plan!

is the other dude any better though? that is the question.... and only time will tell. I reckon you guys need a women president, just for a change. haha!

I have always thought everyone in the US hated bush now... then I see he is polling at 2 points above the other dude, and think maybe the ones that don't like him are the more out spoken.

Actually the Bush admin is based on a lie.

The purose is not to fight Iraq. Although Syria and Iran are next.

The purpose is to eliminate the myth of the middle class.

We are to vote November 2.

But there are all manner of problems on the horizon. The voting method. The registration process. On and on.

Here in California, the Sec of State is Kevin Shelly. One of his fund raisers for his election is under the gun for using state funds. He is so close that he may fall. This is important because his office oversees the election and this state is the honey pot for the candidates.

It is really dirty.

Bushs home town news paper is supporting Kerry.
