GARLIC ASKS ABOUT THE FIRST KERRY-BUSH DEBATE
Locked in a tight race, the debate between John Kerry and George W. Bush on foreign policy might very well have determined who will be our next president. What do you think?
"A free and open debate such as we have witnessed is absolutely vital if we are to maintain the illusion of American participatory democracy."
James Jackson, Accountant
"We needed that debate so the candidates could get to the heart of their carefully rehearsed opinions on a list of pre-selected topics."
Darleen Edwards, Pianist
"The high point of the evening for me was when Moderator Jim Lehrer told both candidates, 'The new debate rule this year is no talking unless you raise your hand.'"Ted Daniels, History Teacher
"Sorry, didn't get to it. I was watching "The World's Most Dangerous Scooter Accidents in Bikinis, Part Eight."
Clark Bender, House Painter
"The debate was an invaluable way to see just how similar these candidates are. For example, on the issue of the terrorism, Bush said it was important to remove Saddam from power in Iraq, and Kerry agreed, although he said Bush should have captured him months earlier when he was in the Afghan caves around Tora Bora.
Terry Jenner, Taxidermist
"I think Mr. Bush was most eloquent when he said, 'Let me be perfectly clairvoyant on my farm polity plan. We'll pile the garage higher.'"
Robert Duncan, City Planner
