Presidential Debate

[Roland]

I see a lot of Bush supporters in these posts so far, eager to point out Kerry's faults.  How about Bush's faults?  Will you 'side-step' these questions the same way Bush sidestepped them in the debate, or will you answer them?

1.) The CIA told Bush there were no WMD in Iraq before our invasion - this is well documented!  Why did he "mislead" Americans about the WMD being in Iraq when he KNEW there weren't any?

2.) The casualties is very high in this war and climbing daily, getting worse actually as time goes on.  The interim-president in Iraq said in a statement that the situation was terrible and growing worse by the day!  Why did and does Bush continues to "mislead" Americans, telling them that the war in Iraq is going well?

3a.) As Kerry pointed out, why did Bush assign native warlords who hate America just as much as Iraq must now to find and capture Osoma Bin Ladden instead of our own well-trained military?

3b.) No, instead he focused all of our resource on Iraq because Bush claims Iraq was the breeding ground for terrorists and was a major threat to America (his reasoning for lying to us in the first place and defending this war insofar).  I find this amusing since Iraq has no WMD and no way of creating them for years to come with all their sanctions, yet Korea and Pakistan pose a much bigger threat than Iraq ever did.  Why is Bush ignoring these other dangerous terrorist countries and focusing on Iraq?

4.) The head spokesman for the United Nations called the war in Iraq "illegal", but was coy to not make any accusations against Bush (perhaps out of fear).  Bush overstepped the ruling of the United Nations to not go to war in Iraq and closed the doors on many other nations so far.  Is Bush is so pompous to think that he overstep anyone he wants to be the worlds police force?  Here is my main question: what is Bush doing to repair Americas reputation that he was so quick to cast into disarray?
I have tons more questions but some comments also.  I can't trust a Commander in Chief of America who misleads the American public on purpose to go to war.

I don't believe some fanatic wrote up false papers for Bush being in Viet Nam and I find it funny that somehow a major news corporation ran a story they could not substantiate claiming bush being in Viet Nam was true.  Truth is, there are no papers or proof Bush was ever in Viet Nam.  Furthermore, someone went out of their way to forge papers saying he was there, and a forgery charge like this carries a thirty (30) year sentence but I don't see any investigations taking place.  IMO, Bush must have deeeeeeeeep pockets, or else his "loyal" supporters are just as "misleading" as he is.

You see what you want to see. There are far more people pointing out Bush's faults than Kerry's, and if you can't see that, you're not paying nearly enough attention to this thread to make such sweeping accusations.

I'm virtually the only Bush-supporting voice in this thread, with most of the people either being undecided, not putting any input, or siding more with Kerry. I'm not saying I praise the ground Bush walks on, but he certainly swayed me more with his words than Kerry did.

I don't agree with everything Bush says or does, nor do I agree with all he has said or done previously. But I also am able to read between the lines, and see past the blind assumption that the President is the sole responsible party for the U.S. There's a reason we have 3 sections to our government - it's called "Checks and Balances". I think a lot of people need to go back to middle school and study up on it. Far too many people are flying to stray rumors and wild accusations that simply don't hold up to any shred of scrutiny.

Enough ranting, though. I hate sticking my head out in debates, especially ones where I'm either outnumbered, or where they're political. :P I fall more behind Bush than Kerry, and I have my reasons for that, but I'll never swear blind allegiance to Bush (nor anyone else for that matter), and I'll be the first to point out ANY persons faults, regardless of party. I do it often enough as it is.
