Who else can't wait for the Debates and see the real truth be revealed?
George may be having his fun now with his vacations and his Swift Liars to do all the Anti-Kerry campaigning for him.

It will all be over once we see the Articulate John Kerry vs. George "Tribal... um... um... Sovereignty" Bush Debates.

And of coure John Edwards vs. Dick "OIL!" Cheney will be good too.

These debates will be excellent, Dubya should have spent his time doing what he was meant to do, run the country.

1. I always have this nightmarish image, where they ask Kerry
tough policy questions, and ask Chimpy questions like, what is your favorite color. Better start taking my medication again.

9. I am also kind of afraid of that
Question: John Kerry, how do you plan to exit Iraq?
Kerry: (His answer)

Question: George W Bush, what is Iraq?
Bush: I think it's somewhere between that little island off the east coast of Africa and Indiana.

But no matter what, the VP Debates will be worth it.

Dick Cheney, how to make education better?
Cheney: Send Halliburton

Dick Cheney, how will our nation deal with Corporate Mismanagement?
Cheney: Send Halliburton

Hours of enjoyment. I plan to stock up on popcorn and (ahem) beverages.

3. How much does anyone want to bet that ...
chimpy doesn't do a debate unless the questions are provided IN ADVANCE, with a guarantee of no follow up questions, and that he is properly schooled for his parrotted responses.

4. I'm afraid the debates have become a farce
The candidates just give whatever canned answer comes closest to the question. They need to have moderators who will followup and press to have REAL answers. I would love to see a format where the candidates are facing each other and actually debating, like Moore and O'Reilly just did or the old Point/Counterpoint. We know Bush would never agree to anything like that because he can't think on his feet

5. I worry about them
Kerry will have to walk a fine line - showing Bush for the idiot he is without looking arrogant - we don't want anyone feeling sorry for Bushie (and there are people dumb enough to do so).

And, is there anyone on DU who can figure out how to disable the earpiece Bush is bound to be wearing?

12. Wouldn't it be funny if Moore & O'Reily were the moderators?
To make sure both sides really answered real questions. O'reily would try to shove it on Kerry and Moore would go after Bush...heaven!

13. The village idiot will 'aw shucks' his way through them,
the 'lib' media will swoon over him and half of this country will "think" he's a fucking rocket scientist and vote for him.

Fairly disgusting really..

14. I'll believe them when I see them.
Bush hasn't accepted the schedule yet, and rumor has it he's trying to get the number down to 2 instead of 3. And VP debate is going to be sit-down and all chummy like. Thank god Edwards is no Lieberman.

15. I hope Kerry can outshine Dubya.
Edwards should do well against Cheney.

But truth emerge from the debates? Come on, now! Don't get crazy.

16. There is no "truth" just spin
The debates will be spun by the cable news networks into at worst a tie for Bush.

Do not expect much from the debates, or nothing favorable to Kerry The fix/spin will...welcome to the machine..."we tell you what to think"....
