So the MSM pinheads, as usual, said Kerry won on substance. How? What substance?

The only "substance" Kerry gave was "I have a plan and it's not Bush's plan because Bush is a failure." When pressed on what his plan is he breaks down and admits, "Okay, it's Bush's plan but I'll do it better, quicker, more efficiently, smoother, tighter, more sincere, and I care more"!

Then the bizarre "read my lips" moment by Kerry. My only complaint with Bush was that he missed the opportunity to say, "Oh really Senator? No tax increases on those earning under $200,000 a year? So I assume that means you agree with making the tax cuts permanent. Making the child tax credit permanent...the lower capital gains tax rate permanent...the elimination of the death tax permanent...the elimination of the marriage penalty permanent. Is this so?"

Kerry's only other message on taxes was, "I'll increase the child tax credit by $1,000." Wow! Didn't Bush JUST SIGN that extended credit into law again just this week? I can't believe no pundits I saw caught this glaring case of pandering and, again, claiming he'd do exactly what Bush is doing but better. It's the same silly response every Democrat makes when they are forced to agree with an issue: but we'll double it; fully fund it (and just what the hell does that mean?); spend it better, care more, etc.

The fact is Kerry could have come on stage naked and played with himself for 90 minutes and the left-wing pundits in the MSM would call him the winner.

p>Overall I thought the questions were good. The only truly stupid one was from the limp-wristed guy that editorialized about the Patriot Act. Bush cleaned his clock! br> --
