My thoughts on the Presidential Debate
I only have a few thoughts about the debate on Thursday. I watched it but I had to walk away a few times because honestly it was kind of boring. But there were a few comments I focused on specifically. Bush said, "On 9-11 I showed America I can lead." Then he said Kerry cannot lead war on terror if he keeps changing his mind about the war. I thought this was a a decent comment but it was confusing because I didn't know what war he was talking about. He said the war on terror but was he really talking about the war in Iraq? That bothered me. But on the other hand, Kerry had some strange comments too. He said "I believe to tell the truth." I cannot agree with any politican on that comment. I am a political science major and trust me from something I learned in the last 3 years at Clemson, Politicians never tell the whole truth, just parts. But basically he said Bush mislead the American people, etc., etc. It was a boring debate and I felt like all the topics they really debated were already discussed in Time Magazine. I just hope for the next debate, they come up with more issues to fight about rather than sticking to the arguments we already know. Let us choose who we want by showing guts and speaking minds. Instead, it seems our candidates are staying on the sidelines.
