Kerry Vs Bush

I am against politics in general. I think its just a bunch of bull puckey. Tonight, Phil insisted on watching the debate. Reluctantly, I will admit that I am glad he did.
I listened from the other room because I get too nervous watching grown men argue like teenagers over their favorite band. I was pleasantly surprised at how there weren't a lot of zingers thrown about and how they almost acted like real men.

I did see a new side of Kerry, who was exact and to the point, poised and confident. Good to FINALLY see. He seemed to know exactly what he wanted to say and didn't waiver on his positions.

Bush, I saw a new side of him too. Poor man. Its so obvious that he really thinks the Iraq war was a good idea. I can tell that he is passionate in his conviction that the world is better off. I would say that I partially agree, Saddam was a bad man in power and we are better off without him running a country with wealth and the powers of destruction. I could see that Bush is so confused about how any of us can't see how its better, I can very much feel his frustration. All I could equate it with is when people who are Christian ask me about god. I don't believe. How can I not? Um, because I don't. I ask them the same "How can you believe in a story?". Because they just do. This is the same with Bush and Iraq....How does he know that Saddam was a true threat? He just does.

I started to feel sorry for GW after a while. I can tell that he is simply mad at people who don't "get" it. Kerry proved something to me tonight. I am almost excited to see what comes out of it.

Then I can be sick for the next one in a week.
