The first debate is over.  The elites are having a field day.  Senator Kerry speaks more eloquently than President Bush.  No kidding!  Too bad for the democrats that speaking ability doesn’t equate with truth, integrity, or resolve.  A current NY Times poll suggests that even Kerry backers continue to see him as pandering. 

Mr. Kerry wants to be President.  He always has.  His entire life has been orchestrated to reach that goal.  That includes marrying very rich women to support his goal.  His entire life has been one of self-promotion.

President Bush lived his life, decided to run for office, and was elected Governor of Texas and then as our President.  Now he wants to continue to defend America against evil.  He is not an eloquent man, but he is real.  He is not a self-promoter.  He showed that in the first debate.  He also showed that he has integrity.

I choose integrity over self-promotion any day.
