The President is being civilized this evening. Polite, restrained, and coherent.
So far nothing new — seems a repeat of content from the previous debates.
Bush says education is how you help people who have lost their jobs, which sounds good — but aren’t most of the ‘new’ jobs in the service industry, which doesn’t really value education?
Kerry says "pay as you go"; Bush says "pay and go". Clever.
I think Kerry is doing well on the jobs issue.
[Are they wearing the same tie?]
[And the same pin?]
President Bush actually seems to be listening to Kerry — oops, spoke too soon, back to the smirk.
"Litany of misstatements", says Bush. "Child credit." "Tax relief that he opposed."
"The role of government is to stand side-by-side with our citizens…" Nice.
"Far left bank." says Bush about Kerry.
Wow. "Do you believe that homosexuality is a choice?" What a question. Bush says tolerance is important, but we have to protect marriage, and moves to the activist judges issue.
"We’re all god’s children, Bob." says Kerry. He says "It’s not choice." "I think we have to respect that." He goes on to say, "I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman." "But you can’t discriminate." Then makes the states rights argument.
