Damn, I think we got an outbreak of mental illness north of our border.

We all know that the Canadian health care system broke down long ago, but
it has
taken awhile for the symptoms to fully manifest themselves.

From where I stand, I see that Canadians do just fine. They have the
essential advantage of using their brains much better than their neighbor
down south. Granted though, they don't have your dead end Rambo mentality.

Yeah, they are just so much smarter than anyone else.

My extended Canadian family had three emergency hospital operations in the
past two years. Everything taken care of, family didn't lose a penny,
everybody's smiling. Medicine was fully covered too.

Well you certainly must have a lot of it up there based upon the barrage of
emails I get here everyday.

Do us a favour, keep taking yours, and perhaps that will cut down on the obvious
surplus.

I'm glad you think that way, like your hero, you are living in a fantasy

Is that somewhat akin to living in Canada?

Lockhart and McCurry are part of Sen. Kerry's team. Their guy is
down in the polls. Why would they overstate the President's
performance?

The challenger will probably see a couple of point bounce from being
seen on the same stage as the President, as that's normal unless
someone says or does something remarkably stupid.

But nobody made a huge gaffe, few people were undecided before the
debate, and I doubt many were swayed one way or another.

You are making way too much sense for this NG.

That's Mr. Holden's stock-in-trade - somebody has to be the adult,
right?

Personally, I'd give Kerry a slight edge just for smoothness of
presentation, but frankly, both of them simply repeated what we'd
heard before with minor adjustments as they went along, and I doubt
that either one made a big impression on anybody (except my wife, who
is so disgusted with Bush for so many reasons that she'd be more
impressed with a toadstool). It was a kind of a blah debate overall.

I wanna see Harry Truman or Teddy Roosevelt debate sometime. Maybe in
the next life.

this
bad. He stank.



Considering you've sent dozens of messages critical of President Bush
over the last 8 days, your comment seems less than honest.

C-span cameras overheard Joe Lockhart telling Mike McCurry “The
consensus is it was a draw.”

So far most have concluded that Kerry was in better form as a debater,
but as far as the message Bush had the edge and nothing was said by
either that would make large numbers of voters be swayed one way or the
other. It was basically a draw.

I believe that it has been proven that an unusual high number of
eye-blinks, made by a person while speaking, indicate that the person
doing the blinking is lying.

Whether it is true in this case, look at the clips of the debate and
judge for yourself.

When the person is in normal lighting under normal circumstances, that
*might* be true. With 500 kilowatts of light on the person, all bets
are off.

Not at all. Only enhanced, magnified but not induced.

In the clips used in the DNC "Faces of Frustration" video, the person
who is talking is Senator Kerry.

I'm not sure what inferences you can draw about the President blinking
while listening to his opponent.

But the video is at best a cheap shot. It shows 14 clips from a 90
minute debate, in 43 seconds.

That averages out to less than 3.1 seconds per clip.

The other 9 seconds are used for the title, the required "Paid for by"
statement, and black screen.

This is undoubtedly why they replaced the actual sound track with music.
With all that slicing and dicing, it would sound like the Senator
was talking gibberish.

I imagine if you had 90 minutes of pretty much anyone standing at a
podium, with half the time spent waiting for their turn to speak, you
could isolate 43 seconds of them looking pretty goofy.

My guess is if they broadcast it on TV, it'll backfire on the Kerry
campaign. People will see it as contrived "red meat".
