Thread Name: BS: Bush/Gore Round 1
Subject: RE: BS: Bush/Gore Round 1
Geez, I can't imagine four years of that smarmy little wiseguy George Jr. "Mediscare"?? "Fuzzy Math"?? Just answer the questions and wipe that smirk off your face. Your daddy didn't really have the authority to flip you the keys to the White House, you know. . .

And Gore? He needs to fire all of his handlers, (especially his make up guy) and hire someone to remove the lumber from his - well, you know. He looks like the wax museum image of himself. Put on a goofy looking tie or something. It makes me crazy when we have a candidate who is good on the issues, has some character and yet comes off like a complete stiff. This election is too close. He will not change the average American's mind by being right on the numbers.

It's funny to hear the "faint praise" being thrown at Gov. Bush this morning. Basically, it seems his supporters are thrilled because he didn't fall on his ass. All I kept thinking as I watched Gore was that a guy with a little charisma (like Reagan) and a mastery of the facts (like Nixon) would have slaughtered him. And that, children, is where demagogues come from.

IMHO, if you vote with your eyes and ears, Bush won last night. If you vote with the stuff behind your eyes and ears, it was Gore. Nader, Bradley, and McCain were not in the building.
