Last Debate

I promise to start writing something of real interest here soon. But for today my impression of the presidential debates.
I can't say that Kerry won this last debate but I think Bush lost it. Any fairly informed person would see that Bush was not able to truthfully defend his policies. The reality just can't stand up to the spin. It sounded good but has little relation to reality.
Kerry and the plan is not to be believed but his reality will be closer to reality than the "were fine" Bush line.
Now here is what I think: Kerry would have been more real if he started out with and continued with the view that Bush blundered in invading Iraq and said he would get us out of there as quickly as possible. He could have based his campaign on the reality we see in the news every day. I guess politics can't be that simple anymore. A candidate needs every vote so he (she) must cater to all sorts of idiots and carefully weight each statement to include the most and alienate the fewest. Reality is a luxury neither side can afford.
I don't know if John Kerry can save America but I do know that the Bush administration has failed to protect the viability of the USA and disrupted the safety of the world.
Please vote.
In adaven's opinion:
Kerry for president.
Any democrat over any republican for senate or congress.
