Prez Debate II: Why Was Bush Yelling at Charlie Gibson? By: blogic Posted: Saturday, October 09, 2004 on The Tide Goes Out Message Board: Politics Why was Bush beating up on poor Charlie Gibson? There Charlie was, glasses perched on his nose like some small town librarian, looking as harmless as he does every morning on Good Morning America. Bush was getting in his face, interrupting, and just generally bullying Charlie. That can't look good. America is not reassured, Mr. President. Is all the pressure getting to Bush? He seemed a little unhinged.

What a crock! I just watched the debates for the second time. And at NO time did President Bush get in Charlie;s face!

blogic, that is strange.... you are the one refering to the Gallup Poll. The Gallup poll has repeatly reported that Bush is the more likeable person, and Bush is the one tough enough for the job (result from both debates). So when do you say "America is not reassured... who are you refering?"

The polls show undecided debate viewers overwhelmingly prefer Kerry.

I find it hard to believe you're not aware of the perception that Bush's performance in the first debate was -- at best -- erratic and to many appeared angry and unhinged. His eyes rolling, furiously blinking, scowling in the background as Kerry responded to questions. Even Bush is aware of his poor performance -- he referred to it in second debate.

WASHINGTON - President Bush smirked and winked and chuckled to himself. He jumped from his stool, chopped at the air and interrupted the debate moderator. As he fought to keep his emotions in check during a combative debate with Sen. John Kerry, the president jokingly said, "That answer almost made me want to scowl."

You may not be aware of how Bush is coming off, but Bush himself is, as is the Associated Press.

You know, I always wondered what kind of people sit around and watch "Queer eye" and "fashion police", and I think I know now. People who have nothing better to criticize someone they hate about.

Write as many of these as you like Blogic, you aren't influencing anyone and the quality just gets worse. If this is a "million monkeys" thing to see if you can randomly make a good article you need a few more monkeys..

I have wondered why you make all these articles, though I do agree that Bush was not being the best behaved kid in the house, though couldn't it be said that Kerry wasn't so nice to point out that charlie made too much money?

Aw, go easy, Baker.

This furious backfilling is kind of fun to watch. And you gotta give blogic high poll ratings for tenacity.

The polls show undecided debate viewers overwhelmingly prefer Kerry.

No. The undecided voters think Kerry won the debate, but the undecided voters do not "prefer" Kerry. Go look at the poll you refering (Gallup). Do you even look at the poll numbers? Gallup has Bush being the "more likable person" and "more trustworthy" person in the two debates? This is not about if I like like Bush or if you like Kerry. This is about what most American think. So stop talking about what you and I like or noticed. They are irrelevent.

If you think most independent voters preferred Kerry, then shouldn't Kerry lead the poll by huge margin by now? There are more registrated Democrat than Republican in this country (by about 8%), so Kerry will win this election even if undecided voters vote 50/50.

If what you said is true, then explain to me why most poll still have Bush ahead of Kerry or the two are even. Do the math, you.

To sum up: Not only did Bush snap at harmless Charlie Gibson, but "his performance in the first debate was -- at best -- erratic and to many appeared angry and unhinged. His eyes rolling, furiously blinking, scowling in the background as Kerry responded to questions" and the Associated Press had this to say about his appearance in the second dabate: "President Bush smirked and winked and chuckled to himself. He jumped from his stool, chopped at the air and interrupted the debate moderator."

Could be. But immediatly after the dabate on "national TV'"I heard it remarked that what Bush did to kerry is like taking someone out behind the wood shed!

"...should go to Gallup Sez Independents Strongly Favor Kerry: Prez Debate 2"

That should read: "If you want more lies and misrepresentations go read Gallup Sez Independents Strongly Favor Kerry: Prez Debate 2".

Blogic has officially lost it. He's resorted to lying and tabloid-style articles.

"(Mr. Gallup himself actually says, and I quote, 'Kerry bitchslapped Bush") "

Mr. Gallup??? COuld you post a link to this statement? The aticle you quote says the debate was a tie. That's not another LIE is it???

Is there even a "Mr. Gallup"? I thought it was obvious that the may-not-even-exist Mr. Gallup wouldnt say anything like that anyway. Agree with me or not, I nearly always cite my sources so you can judge for yourself.

Then why the hell would you say what you did?

NO, blogic, you said "(Mr. Gallup himself actually says, and I quote, 'Kerry bitchslapped Bush") ".

That isn't sarcasm, it is a lie.

• If I take it literally, it is false. To my knowledge there is no "Mr. Gallup" involved in interpreting the poll. If there is, no one used the words "bitch slaped" or even implied a Kerry victory.
• If I take it figuratively, it is just as false. Gallup rated the debate as a tie. It wasn't even a "bitch slap" in terms of independant voters.

This isn't exaggeration, Blogic, because you are responding to people that had already told you the truth, and YOU supplied the link to where the truth could be found. When you know the truth, and you knowingly mislead people to serve your arguement, YOU HAVE LIED. You have no credability at this point. Anything you post will need to have a link, because it's obvious that people can't take you on your word.

And a link to a credible source.
