Complete transcript of the
Town Hall Presidential debate:
LINK
Bush spin
President Bush won a decisive victory last night. The President
dominated the debate with impassioned, thoughtful and concise
arguments that left Kerry looking petty and defensive as he sputtered
out tired, false political rhetoric and distortions that shattered his
credibility and contradicted the Senator's 20-year record of being on
the wrong side of history on national security and domestic policy.
Our inbox is flooded with e-mails from all over the nation reflecting
the President's decisive win. I'd like to share a few comments with
you:
You were awesome. You were on target, forceful without being mean, you
have Kerry on the run, he's not sure of himself, you have the facts
and they're on your side. - Tom Johnson - Orient, OH
You will win because you are right. - Kerry Preston -
Littleton, CO
You did a terrific job!
Some of us are republicans and some are democrats and we all
agree that John Kerry is definitely not Presidential material. You
have our vote. - Carrie Miller & Friends - Lumberton,
NC
We're standing behind you for victory! - Cindy Lippincott - Tampa, FL
You looked great tonight. You spoke well. You defended your positions
effectively, yet respectfully. You are my winner tonight. -
Edwin Cruz M.D. - Virginia Beach, VA
The President, however, said it best:
"He's got a record. He's been there for 20 years. You can run but
you can't hide" - President Bush
John Kerry has a 20-year record of weakening national security and
President Bush was on the offensive last night against John Kerry's
naive and dangerous ideas.
·
Kerry suggested limiting the War on Terror to a hunt for
Osama Bin Laden.
This represents a
fundamental misunderstanding of the War on Terror.
·
Kerry tonight said that Saddam Hussein was a threat, but
said we should not have dealt with that threat.
·
Kerry suggested that Saddam Hussein could be contained
with sanctions, in contrast to his own previous assertion that a
"policy of containment" would be "disastrous."
·
Kerry proposed a return to failed policies of unilateral
negotiations with North Korea that proved a failure during the Clinton
administration.
·
Kerry refused to retract his proposal for a "global
test."
·
Kerry again denigrated our allies by saying we are going
it alone.
John Kerry has a 20-year record of supporting bigger government,
higher taxes and higher health care costs.
·
President Bush exposed John Kerry's hypocrisy on health
care by addressing John Kerry's $1.5 trillion health care that would
take away choices without reducing the cost of health care.
·
John Kerry blocked medical liability reform ten times.
·
President Bush exposed John Kerry's record of proposing
$2.2 trillion in new government spending.
President Bush was in command of the issues, the facts, and the stage,
and clearly won on style and substance last night. He exposed and
dismantled Kerry's record of voting against intelligence funding,
against our troops, against medical liability reform and against tax
relief for working families.

P.S. President Bush won a decisive victory last night. The President
presented impassioned, thoughtful and concise arguments that left
Kerry looking petty and defensive as he sputtered out tired, false
political rhetoric and distortions that shattered his credibility and
contradicted the Senator's 20-year record of being on the wrong side
of history on national security and domestic policy. Spread the word
by taking action in the ways outlined above.
Kerry spin
Two presidential debates and two clear wins. John Kerry is going to be
the next president of the United States, and more people know it now
than just two short hours ago.
Tonight, George Bush had another chance to make his case to the
American people. Again he failed.
Again, he showed that he is out of touch with reality on Iraq.
Again, he offered no plan for jobs and no plan for cutting the cost of
health care.
Again, he pretended that our problems don't exist.
Again, he refused to level with the American people.
George Bush just doesn't get it, so he can't fix it.
John Kerry held George Bush accountable for the failures of the last
four years. He demonstrated the strength and character we need in a
president. He made it clear he could lead as commander in chief.
John Kerry offered real solutions to real problems. He told America
the truth, and offered a plan for a fresh start on the economy, Iraq,
and the war on terror. Simply put, he was presidential. Ironically,
the president was not.
Right now, I'm here on the front lines in St. Louis. Down the hall is
what they call the "spin room." It is where Republican operatives are
trying to put their best face on what was another clear victory for
John Kerry. I've done this a few times before, and I can tell you
firsthand that my job is a lot easier when our candidate has a big
night like John Kerry did tonight.
I know, and more importantly John Kerry knows, how hard YOU are going
to work to make sure the Bush campaign doesn't spin this debate.

Need some wood?
John Kerry accused President Bush in the debate last night of owning a
lumber company... something that obviously struck the President as not
only incorrect – but down right funny:
KERRY: The president got $84 from a timber company that owns,
and he's counted as a small business. Dick Cheney's counted as a small
business. That's how they do things. That's just not right.
BUSH: I own a timber company?
(AUDIENCE LAUGHTER)
That's news to me.

Hillary's spin
John Kerry won another debate last night - and I believe he took
another big step toward victory in the Presidential election.
In the first debate, John Kerry showed he would be a strong and able
Commander in Chief. Last night, he continued to demonstrate leadership
in national security, and he also showed vision and leadership on
issues here at home.
Coming on the same day as the latest disappointing jobs report, I
thought this discussion of our domestic agenda was particularly
important. John Kerry showed that he has real plans to build a
stronger economy, to make health care more accessible, to give our
schools the resources they need and to get our country back on the
path of fiscal responsibility.
What a contrast to George Bush, who still can't think of a single
mistake he's made - or any ideas for doing something differently in
the next four years!
I was pleased to be in St Louis for the debate on behalf of the Kerry
campaign, and to speak afterwards on a number of television news
programs. I hope you will join me in speaking up for John Kerry, and
telling your friends and neighbors that you support his plans to make
America stronger. With this election so close, our work can make the
difference!
Thank you for all you're doing to help elect our Democratic candidates
in this critical year. And thank you, again, for your friendship and
support.
Sincerely,
Hillary Rodham Clinton
