[Vision2020] Last NIght's Debate

[Carl Westberg]

As one who did not watch the debate, opting instead for a round of Tiger 
Woods PGA Tour 2005, where I clobbered my opponent at the Coeur d'Alene 
resort course, it would be interesting, after listening to spin-meisters on 
the radio all morning, how it played to undecided V2020 viewers who watched 
it.  Wow, that was all one sentence.

>   To me the magic word was "confidence".  Senator Kerry displayed a strong

>   The key to the next four years is a "plan" concerning Iraq.

>   Kerry detailed his plan as:

>   1)  Meet with world leaders and strengthen the coalition.  Share in a

>
>
>   2)  Train Iraqis to defend themselves effectively.

>   3)  Slowly withdraw troops.

>   Bush had no plan.  His response was simply to "not change".  (In other 
>words:  Stay the course.)

>
>   They both agreed that the main threat to world peace is nuclear (or as 
>Bush says, "nucular") proliferation.

>   Kerry detailed his 4-year plan.  Bush, again, had no plan.

>   It is only going to get worse for President Bush The Appointed in the
