the kerry/bush debate speak-out!!!

Kerry/bush debate speak-out – we rushed off from the vigil to the debate speak-out we were sponsoring at yet another friends of a friend’s home. Of course, we leave the vigil late because we’re busy conversing, then we have to stop at the co-op & get supplies, and then we get lost driving thru Cleveland after dark but we do get lots of positive comments & we do get there with a few minutes to spare.
We make a list of buzz words we want to keep track of including terrorist, war, women, global warming, etc. Rae is writing a detailed analysis of our findings, which were not deeply buried for those who were able to view the ‘debate’ – among the first obvious things that comes as no surprise – we have a prez who doesn’t know how to debate! He interrupted at least 6 times, not to mention his stuttering & mispronunciation, or is that his accent? Interestingly enuff, the word he mentioned most, besides his hhhhaaaarrrrdddd work, how haaaaarrrrrdddd work it is being commander in chief, was freedom – he said freedom or free at least 20 times; john kerry mentioned global warming twice, spoke of beginning to withdraw our troops by his 6th month in office, and at the end, swiftly and strongly stated that nuclear proliferation was the number one threat to our world & that he would IMMEDIATELY terminate the buster-bomb (or whatever that new bomb research they’re doing or planning) program – yeah for our side. Bush tried to kinda agree, saying weapons of mass destruction in the hands of terrorists are the biggest threat to us. The moderator attempted to get the two to distinguish their views & kerry did not do a very good job on the reply – but there’s always the next debate!

I can’t imagine what bush supporters can find in tonite’s performance to support. So we have a big day tomorrow – it’s off to Columbus & ani difranco’s concert – we’re tabling, thanks to dannielle’s magic connections!!!!
