I was talkin with my roommate after the debates and he brought up somethin that may be far-fetched but interestin to consider anyway. he said Bush's speaking reminds him of what hitler did to gain support. you appeal to people at an emotional/personal level rather than trying to use intelligence and logic. Bush's didnt use many facts in his debate, it was mostly empty rhetoric, and thats what the majority of Americans like to hear believe it or not. I'm not talkin about the people on this message board, I'm talkin about the bible-thumpers in the south and midwest where bush gets his supprot from. when Bush says shit like "god bless America" he really believes that god is blessing america, and the people who listen to him believe that too. plus, he speaks the common jargon so people think he's this everyday guy they can relate too, which is just a front, an act. Kerry is a fuckin smart guy, but Bush is totally shameless. the VERY FIRST thing he said in the debate was "well, september 11th changed America" I find it completely disgraceful that the leader of our country is so willing to exploit this tragedy to gain political support. fuckin disgusting.
