Responding to an email

I received this email from a friend, and when I thought about it, I thought my response would make a good blog post. So here's the email:

He lost. Our boy needs to do a lot better next time. He needs to smile more remain calm, and not look so ticked off.

When Kerry said he'd get global approval - Bush jumped on it, but if that was his best moment - he didn't hammer that home enough.

Here's my response:

If he won the debate, how come Kerry hasn't picked up any votes?

According to ABC News:

As is customary, the debate did not immediately change many minds. Bush's support was 50 percent among viewers before the debate, and 51 percent after it; Kerry's, 46 percent before, 47 percent after. Ralph Nader had 1 percent before and a tad less than that after.

Also, remember these two words: "global test". Here is Kerry's quote:

No president, through all of American history, has ever ceded, and nor would I, the right to preempt in any way necessary to protect the United States of America.

But if and when you do it, Jim, you have to do it in a way that passes the test, that passes the global test where your countrymen, your people understand fully why you're doing what you're doing and you can prove to the world that you did it for legitimate reasons.

So Kerry is admitting that he would subject US military action to a "global test" on the use of military force. In other words, Kerry during the debate admitted that he would give the French, the Germans and the UN veto power over the use of military force. Exactly how many people in the US would trust any of those three to protect the country? Besides Michael Moore, Howard Dean, and Jimmy Carter?

Secondly, note also that during the debate, Kerry also discussed our developing of bunker-busting nukes is causing nuclear proliferation:

And part of that leadership is sending the right message to places like North Korea.
Right now the president is spending hundreds of millions of dollars to research bunker-busting nuclear weapons. The United States is pursuing a new set of nuclear weapons. It doesn't make sense.

You talk about mixed messages. We're telling other people, "You can't have nuclear weapons," but we're pursuing a new nuclear weapon that we might even contemplate using.

By stating that, Kerry in essence stated that the United states is on the same plane morally as North Korea and Iran. How popular a stance do you think that will be?

Third, during the debate, Kerry stated that he would provide nuclear fuel to Iran:

I think the United States should have offered the opportunity to provide the nuclear fuel, test them, see whether or not they were actually looking for it for peaceful purposes.

Exactly what peaceful purposes would an energy independent nation like Iran need a nuclear reactor for? Kerry stated that providing Iran with more nuclear capability is somehow going to cause them to stop building a nuke. And I only thought Jimmy Carter was that naive.

Don't be worried. Kerry made a nice speech with big words, but Kerry made some major blunders in this debate, and all his high-falutin' words ain't gonna save him from getting beaten like a red-headed stepchild come November 2.
