The debate

It was so much fun watching the first presidential debate I'm not sure I will watch the others.
Yes they went at each other a bit, but it was repetitive and a lot reality was not addressed.
The race is so close, Kerry is afraid to dig into the real reasons Bush/Cheney went to war in Iraq. It is all so fake. It is all about getting votes and it doesn't matter how. That is the reality of our "democracy". Truth is a luxury not to be indulged in when spin can be more effective , and safer.
Kerry gave a fine performance. It should make a difference in the poles but many have tuned out the war as just news stories.
Bush was his likeable self but had nothing new to say, nothing about the current failing of the war effort.
And Kerry let him get away with it, but he's in a bad situation having voted for the use of force in Iraq.
I too am in a bad situation for I feel the American public should vote out of office any senator or representing who voted to allow the US to declare war against Iraq for displaying bad judgment.
So my mouth has a bad taste when I say I hope Kerry will win the election.
