The Kerry-Bush Debate, or How Can Bush Supporters Be So Stupid? (maybe it rubs off) or What I Want In A U.S. President
Here are some reasons why Kerry should be declared winner of tonight's Presidential debate, and furthermore, why he will make a much better President than Bush:
Kerry displayed far more dignity in his demeanor and response to criticism than Bush. Kerry was a convincing and articulate speaker, and has always pronounced the word "nuclear" correctly. For a President of the United States to speak haltingly, using poor grammar and incorrect pronunciation, is a travesty. During nearly every point Kerry made, Bush frowned, looking angry or frustrated (poor loser). When Bush made a negative reference to Kerry, Kerry made notes and either kept a neutral face or even smiled. Kerry's overall behavior was much more Presidential than Bush's.
These are but a few of the reasons I feel Kerry deserves to be named winner of tonight's Presidential debate.
As a citizen of the United States, I want a President who IS dignified, educated, and well-versed in political and military issues (for example, someone who has been a Senator, been a good student, taken his/her military duty seriously and courageously--someone who is capable of reading and even writing a book). The President of the United States SHOULD be ready, willing, and proactive in establishing (re-establishing, in this case) peaceful relationships with other countries (e.g., all of our former allies whom Bush has alienated). He or she should NOT be a maverick, jumping the gun, ignoring pubic opinion (everyman, not just the rich elite), ignoring the UN, refusing to join the International Criminal Justice system, taking away his own country's citizens' constitutional rights, bankrupting the country in record-breaking time, denouncing scientific research which could cure disease and help recover our crippled environment, and using the terrorist attack of one group to, unprovoked, invade a wholly different and unrelated country. Tonight John Kerry showed that he could be a TRUE President, not the sorry excuse we've had during the past couple of years (when Bush wasn't on vacation).
President Bush is an example of the worst kind of politician. Rich, privileged, spoiled, stupid, uneducated, lazy, untrustworthy, spiteful, prejudiced, stubborn, and without conscience. He is responsible for the pain, tragedy, and death of our young people who have had to go to war for ALL the wrong reasons. Not to mention the masses of innocents from other countries who have been killed in this so-called war. Bush represents the eye-for-an-eye mentality...but that only causes everyone to end up blind.
