A little more than an hour gentlemen... supposedly Bush's "Achilles Heel" issue... if he holds his own tonight it will be damn hard for the liberals to argue its a Kerry win. Moderator also said this afternoon that he considers homeland security to be a domestic issue, so its on the table as well as health care and education and vote bribes... errrrr social spending...

Yes. Now go buy or self a tv and place it next to your computer. Multi Tasking is essential in todays world.

I think I'm gonna skip it. I already know who is gonna lie and who is gonna tell the truth. I already know what their answers to the pre selected Bush bashing questions are gonna be, and I already know that John Kerry is an asshat and that the President is a great man and excellent leader. Why should I waste my time watching it?

+1

I think these debates are for the undecided voters. I know the issues pretty well already, and have a feel for the integrity of each candidate.

That is how I felt going into the last one, I figured I would prolly bore with it
prety quickly and shut it off. But am glad I didnt, I was great to watch Bush stand
up for himself and Kerry stamer and studer and let W get the best of him.
I am watching tonight for the entertainment value.

Is the debate going to be held on time?

This morning there was supposed to be a Show Cause hearing as to why Badnarik and Nader shouldn't be allowed into the debate. Otherwise a Injunction against the debate was going to be issued by Maricopa County Superior Court.

What happened to that hearing?

I am going to watch it just to see how it all pans out. Its obvious to me that Kerry is a damn traitor to everyone who ever wore a uniform - that aside - I'll watch the media paint him as a hero - as they always do and once again be beside myself and regret that at least 48 percent of America I am sickened to call "countrymen". People who have never fought for anything shouldnt make decisions on Commander in Chief. Just my opinion. I dont need Oprah-nation telling me how to do my f----ing job in homeland security or elsewhere if they get their assclown in office.

Was on Drudge last night.

Here is one version of the original story I found

And they lost
news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/3740146.stm

Its amazing that only a few small internet outlets in this country covered this- only foreign news outlets thought it was important.

Regardless of the outcome of tonights debate, the media will tell the sheeple that the great johnny "rambo" skerry kicked GWBs ass in all three.
I must say though, GWB has done a piss poor job against this slimy liberal and whoever has been preparing him should be sacked ASAP !

I thought "W" did a good job last Friday though I thought he could have come up with a better answer to the last question.

Jesus Spectre... there is only so much to work with. He blew the first, held his own in the second. As somebody who has done debate prep, you can only mold the clay you have. I think your expectations are more than a little bit unreasonable. Bush has never been a polished speaker and he never will be.

well, here I am again ready to see the show!.....I hope we kick some john kerry butt tonight and sink the democraps

As long as Bush stays on topic he cannot LOSE any debate.

Kerry loses ALL the debates as soon as he starts talking about his record and what he will do.

Because then his statments are gone over with a fine toothed comb by the internet and his lies and just utter stupidity in some cases are exposed.

This election will be decieded by the Internet. NOT by the News Media as in the past.

This is the continuation of the battle begun when the News media were caught trying to help the Dems steal the 2000 Election by Internet reporting. This is round two and it has become obvious that the TV is losing it, hence their hysterical attempts to try and prop up Kerry, and their utter abandonment of even the apperance of impartiality.

I agree, however, the same media who now declare him DOA are the same who said he was a highly skilled debater before the first one.
IMO, I think GWB should have skipped debates all together. They are a over scripted useless show for the sheeple.
Now a TRUE debate, an unscripted town hall type event with no pre screened questions, THAT would get my attention.

The Anti-Christ has been helped all through this Campain. The Media..... On Lenno this week They ( The media) had the Anti-Christ's boy,.........Edwards and Mikee Moore on. As soon as the Debates end they go right to the most Anti-Bush Democrat so he can spit his venom before everyone turn the channel to watch a Movie. Well losts of Sheeple are mesmorized and stay focused until a phone rings or something.

The media pumped up Bush as a debater so Kerry's better speaking skills would truly humiliate the president and people would say he got clobbered... first time he did, second time he didn't... now we keep our fingers crossed.

Me thinks this is wishful thinking. Not that big of a % of people look for facts on the net, and the "facts" available are smoothered in crap.

This election will be decided by the courts, is my dire prediction.
