Once again I wonder what debate the pundits were watching last night

I wonder how they justify picking up large paycheck while doing such piss poor jobs.

I have seen no one call Bush on his false hoods. Bush is allowed to saying anything with almost no focus on it at all.

Things like he proposed alternative fuel cars, increase the wetlands captured 75% of Al Queada and other ridiculous comments.

Saying how unhappy he was there was no weapons.

Telling the audience that Kerry should have just stayed in the senate and just voted apparently yes on any bill the president wanted to pass without giving them any thought.

His inability to admit he made any mistakes whatsoever in 4 years in office.

His saying Kerry lacks credability when he and Dick have lied with every word out of their mouths.

His lack of decorm during the debate. He sets the rules and then doesn't follow them and that's okay.

Every thing is so simple with Bush so when Kerry offers a thoughtful answer on abortion an issue that is not simple for anyone in america. Kerry is struggling.

I make it a point NOT to watch the spin doctors on cable(or any BUT PBS). You have to be a masochist to watch that crap.

... " and then doesn't follow them and that's okay. "

I agree, it's wierd that is never commented on.

The Republicans, by all accounts, were the drivers for the 32 pages of debate rules. It was very important to them that there be specific rules about conduct by each debater and the moderator. But then their guy just flouts the rules with no penalty, and that's okay. Bad enough that the moderator let him get away with it (although I sympathize with him, trying to decide if he should stick to the letter of the rules and cause a big distraction, or just go with the flow and let the debate itself continue), but for the pundits to do so is really unfair. Bush violated the debate rules. It's the truth and it shouldn't be so hard to just say so!

that some issues just don't have "yes" or "no" answers.

That's why abortion has been debated so loudly for so long. And religion. On and on.

There would be no big paycheck if they questioned bush on his lies and mis-truths.
