John Kerry Held His Own!!!!

I will concede Bush looked more in control, better prepared and more Presidential then he did in the last debate. Where Bush failed was in substance. Bush’s rationale for severely limiting Embryonic Stem Cell Research was wishy washy at best. Kerry stuck it to him on this issue and more. Simply put, Bush’s idiotic rational for limiting this new science is killing people. Embryonic Stem Cell Research holds the promise of a cure for Parkinson, Diabetes and a host of other disorders. Bush’s prejudice and pandering are holding back the development of this new science. The science of Embryonic Stem Cell Research can save the lives of millions, improve the lives of millions more, maybe even save your child or parent. I believe Kerry slammed Bush on this issue successfully and kept him on the defensive overall.

Importation of prescription drugs from Canada was another area where Bush failed the truth test. There are many common prescription drugs sold in Canada up to 40% cheaper then in the states. If Bush would allow Pharmaceutical Suppliers to get these safe, life saving drugs from outlets in Canada it would cut consumer cost in this country considerably. The only reason Bush won’t do it is because his big Pharmaceutical campaign contributors don’t want him to ( check out the Nation). Kerry won on the issues once again.

On Iraq Bush continued with his ever-changing rationale for the war. Kerry clearly has developed and articulated a better plan to win the peace. Kerry won on this issue hands down. Without a doubt, momentum has been building on Kerry’s side over the last two weeks. Bush was unable to put a dent into this rising tide of change sweeping the country.

INTERNET RUMORS: My friend Barbara sent me a note on growing rumors that Bush is wearing some sort of communication devise. A devise that let’s Bush’s handlers stay in constant touch and give Bush instant data. I know it is only a rumor, but this would explain any improvement Bush demonstrated from one debate to the other… Hhmmmmmm….Read more on this rumor by clicking here. A web site named http://mediachannel.org/ has instituted an independent investigation on the "wired" charge. If that is not enough on the issue, you can check out http://www.isbushwired.com/.
