I was at a friends house today and noticed that her daughter was watching the MTV Video Music Awards again. When the Kerry girls came onstage I said "Oh watch this!". Yes, this was the moment that the Kerry girls got booed. Only they did not get booed. MTV edited out the booes and inserted cheers even going so far as to show the crowd applauding loudly. The girls were completely calm and even the background had changed. Alexis didn't even have to lift her finger too shush the crowd. But the best part? The Bush girls were completely taken out. How is that for free speech? Only the Kerry girls are allowed free speech, not the VMA crowd and most certainly not the Bush girls.

By they way, have you ever noticed that nobody sees things more black and white than our friends on the left do? Anything that a liberal Democrat does is perfect, no matter what it is {White} while anything that a conservative Republican does is evil and wrong, no matter what it is{Black}?

Anyway, I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe my ears as I listened to my fellow Republicans slam Bush after the first presidential debate. I understand you think he's next to God but he really isn't. You got the real Bush on Thursday night and were suprised by him. Was he really so different Thursday night then he was during his acceptance speech? And don't tell me how tired he was, I know he's tired, he's the President.

This is going to be a real shocker to you Republicans who think Bush looked terrible during that first debate, but I got to tell you, He isn't the most eloquent speaker. Where have you folks been?

One thing that is being missed by my fellow conservatives is that the Democrats are betting everything on their view that the American public is stupid. The American public is not stupid. They do realize what's at stake, they do realize that the Senator isn't straight forward. They do realize that Kerry IS the anti-Iraq candidate while Bush is the pro-Iraq candidate. Kerry, has only given credibilty to Bush's decision to take out Hussien. John Kerry admitted that we did the right thing with Iraq. Everything the Democrat party has been saying about Bush the entire time has been flushed down the John by Kerry. Bush knew he did the right thing, and now we know he did the right thing. Thank you Senator Kerry.

Immediately after the debates in 2000, the consensus was that ALGORE had won. After each debate, the numbers would show a clear victory for ALGORE. Yet, ALGORE did not get the lead he expected from the debates. Gore supposedly won, but what good is it to win the debates, if you do not convince your audience to vote for you? ALGORE didn't do it, niether did John Kerry. In fact, I want to ask you to think back to the debates and tell me, after seeing them side by side, Who would you ra^ther have a beer with? Who would you ra^ther watch the superbowl with? Bush might have looked terrible, but I'd ra^ther have a beer with Bush, I'd ra^ther watch the Superbowl with Bush, I'd ra^ther vote for Bush. I trust Bush over Kerry, so will the American public.

It's that simple, Kerry came off as being fake, unbelieveable, like the high school Barbie who will smile through anything, yet doesn't treat people with respect. John Kerry just looked fake. That smile Kerry had really disturbed me, it was just fake.

But let's get to the substance of the debate....since you folks are too busy whining over your new discovery that Bush has speech problems. Let's take a serious look at Kerry's speech problems.

"The president hasn't put one nickel, not one nickel into the effort to fix some of our tunnels and bridges and most exposed subway systems. That's why they had to close down the subway in New York when the Republican Convention was there. We hadn't done the work that ought to be done.

The president -- 95 percent of the containers that come into the ports, right here in Florida, are not inspected. Civilians get onto aircraft, and their luggage is X-rayed, but the cargo hold is not X- rayed."---- Senator Kerry, are you proposing a police state?

"When I was in a rope line just the other day, coming out here from Wisconsin, a couple of young returnees were in the line, one active duty, one from the Guard. And they both looked at me and said: We need you. You've got to help us over there."----Oh Senator, you wait in rope lines? Well, maybe next time I'll be in line with you.

"And what we need now is a president who understands how to bring these other countries together to recognize their stakes in this. They do have stakes in it. They've always had stakes in it."-----I'm glad you feel that way Senator, so what do you have to say about our current allies?

"But you can't tell me that when the most troops any other country has on the ground is Great Britain, with 8,300, and below that the four others are below 4,000, and below that, there isn't anybody out of the hundreds, that we have a genuine coalition to get this job done." So Senator, are you saying that our current allies are unimportant? With your election, will they withdraw? Well what else do you have to say about coalition building?

"We could have bilateral talks with Kim Jong Il. And we can get those weapons at the same time as we get China. Because China has an interest in the outcome, too."-----So you won't build a coalition in dealing with North Korea? Would you deal with them unilaterally if necessary?

"It [IRAQ] was a threat. That's not the issue. The issue is what you do about it."-----------Senator Kerry, thank you for admitting that Iraq was a threat, and we did do something about it instead of waiting around for Iraq to become a much bigger threat.
