Update (8:39): Instapundit links. Let’s get this party started! The comment thread is now open.
Are you lonesome tonight? Bored? Hyper? Anxious? Apathetic? Come one, come all! I want your real-time play-by-play of the final debate. The last time around, we generated 166 comments and trackbacks, but tonight we can do better than that!
Beginning at 8:45 p.m. (debate starts at 9:00), I’ll open up this thread for live commentary on the debate. You’re all invited to watch it at my house (tell your friends, too), so swing on by La Shawn Barber’s Corner to weigh in on facial expressions, body language, inconsistencies and straight out lies (of John Kerry). I’m excited already.
How much cash are you willing to wager that illegal immigration, one of the biggest crises facing America, won’t be mentioned, let alone discussed tonight?
As always, I’ll link to live-bloggers around the web so you can see all the action. If you’ll be live-blogging at your place, trackback to this post so I can link to you. Later… 
On the southern border, see Michelle Malkin.
Newsflash: All you commenters who ragged me for speaking ill of Muslims crossing our southern border, check out the Chechens crossing with the Mexicans! (Washington Times broke the story.) Thanks, Digger.
Live-bloggers: Baldilocks is live-blogging! Also see Right Wing News, Hugh Hewitt, Daniel Drezner, Captain Ed, Politburo Diktat, Llama Butchers, Blogs for Bush Blogs of War’s list of bloggers.
H-Bomb! Dean says he’ll pimp your blog for a trackback. That’s not nice.
TacJammer calls IE “Internet Exploder.” Good one.
Polipundit calls it for Bush already! Kevin sounds jaded.
Check out the poll at Jeff Blanco’s after the debate. More funny stuff from Scrappleface.
Once Again Reports Of Terrorists Crossing Our Southern Border

What is so irrigating about these debates, that even when Bush wins, as he did the 2nd debate, the Democratic propaganda machine (ABC,CBS,CNN,NBC,PBS…etc) declares Bush the loser. They fawn all over Kerry’s superior debating skills (is anybody paying attention to what this idiot is saying?) and proceed to trash GW. I am not sure I can’t stomach their propaganda for a third time.

ENOUGH WITH THE THANKS YOU.
Comment by LA CARLA — 10.13.04 @ 9:04 pm
Bob didn’t take long to ask Kerry a stupid question.
Of course we are going to be safer again, it’s a part of life.
Comment by Jeff Blanco — 10.13.04 @ 9:04 pm
You guys work fast! By the way, I’m not watching. How do they look? Nice suits?
Comment by La Shawn — 10.13.04 @ 9:05 pm
No! Sen Kerry always the politician. We that are in the Lord are always protected. The mistake line is old. No attacks since 9/11. What’s the deal?
Comment by sergeantjones — 10.13.04 @ 9:05 pm
Here Kerry goes, describing a police state
Government can control your life and make you safe, just give government the ultimate power.
And Senator, it’s not about killing people, it’s about justice
Comment by Jeff Blanco — 10.13.04 @ 9:05 pm
Kerry will makes safe from those pesky terrorists.
Comment by Dee — 10.13.04 @ 9:06 pm
Kerry’s answer to the question, “No, we are not safe, we are not safe until government has total control over the peoples lives.”
That’s not verbatim but….

Comment by LA CARLA — 10.13.04 @ 9:08 pm
Funny line by Bush.
Kerry just reminded me of the lady at the bank yesterday asking me if I felt safer knowing Martha is behind bars and Osama is free. I had to tell her… We ought to be looking for Osama in countries like Serbia, Germany, or better yet, we ought to look for him in Antartica
Comment by Jeff Blanco — 10.13.04 @ 9:09 pm
How about Paris!
Comment by sergeantjones — 10.13.04 @ 9:10 pm
“stay deadly focused on the war on terror”? But just a few days ago, Kerry was saying that he wanted to turn terrorism back into a nuisance. Which way is it, Kerry? Do you remember when terrorism was a “nuisance”? How many attacks did we have? Personally, I think it’s time to take it seriously as does Pres. Bush. Go Bushie!

Why does Kerry participate in a health care plan. He’s a stinking millionaire! He shouldn’t be making us pay fo rhis healthcare!

1.6 Million Jobs Lost - it’s called 9-11 Kerry, do you want me to forgot about that!?
Comment by K. Ham — 10.13.04 @ 9:14 pm
Okay, I’m late to the party, but did that moron have the audacity to compare himself to FDR and Reagan?
Also, my hubby just asked (when I loudly called MORON) if Kerry is a *mo* ron or a *less* ron - I said it depends on how *ron* is quantified.

Comment by Andy — 10.13.04 @ 9:18 pm
Since when is it the job of the president not to ship jobs overseas. There is something called personal responsibility. Why when JFK said ask not… he was hearalded. If Bush said it, they’d all scream, “rich man!”

That was a stupid line, Tony Soprano Law and Order?

Softballs for Kerry, Hardballs for Bush…
Comment by Jeff Blanco — 10.13.04 @ 9:21 pm
Kerry looks very scary, when you look away and look back at him. He really doesn’t answer the question. Good question Bob, it’s not Bush’s fault if many Americans don’t want to work or find a job.
Comment by sergeantjones — 10.13.04 @ 9:21 pm
Exactly Evon! Outsource only if it will get you confused and get me votes!
Comment by cooper — 10.13.04 @ 9:22 pm
Kerry sounds like he wants what Daniel Ortega wanted for Nicaragua.
Comment by Jeff Blanco — 10.13.04 @ 9:22 pm
Liar, Liar, Pants on fire! He does to totally blame Bush for the loss of jobs in this country, and since when does he acknowledge that outsourcing of jobs is going to happen? Flip-flop.

Tony Soprano? Priceless!

Good job, hit the tax cuts, explain it to the people that “Taxcut Kerry” opposed Taxcuts.
Comment by Jeff Blanco — 10.13.04 @ 9:24 pm
I have a plan again? WHAT is it? Cutting taxes and giving our money back is NOT a COST Senator Kerry!
WHAT about the outsourcing by HEINZ?
Bill McBride lost to Jeb Bush in Florida because he could not explain how to pay for his programs and PLANS without raising taxes.
WHERE IS THE MATH SENATOR KERRY?

Whew! GW is from Texas, y’all know that most Texans are not that long winded, but we understand, Kerry is a career politician and said nothing, his record does not match his rhetoric.
Comment by sergeantjones — 10.13.04 @ 9:24 pm
The role of government is to stand side by side with Americans, not over them! Great line!

WHAT? Voted for tax cuts over 600 TIMES? IS Kerry HIGH?
Comment by Raymond C. Coleman — 10.13.04 @ 9:25 pm
That’s it, Mr. President. List all those ways we are better off b/c of your policies — more Pell Grants, more money in your own pocket, more independence. Keep hittin’ on those votes for tax increases. Now Kerry’s trying to claim he the REAL tax cut man. That won’t make it with anyone.
Comment by Deborah Toms — 10.13.04 @ 9:25 pm
Actually, on Pell grants, money gets sent back to the government every year.

HEHEHE
He’s getting back on his feet now.

Schieffer KNOWS that Kerry is lying. His questions are one sided and LOADED like a .45 against Bush. Bob KNOWS that Kerry supports pervert marriage.

Good one on the $86 billion for our troops
Comment by Renee — 10.13.04 @ 9:27 pm

Comment by Allan — 10.13.04 @ 9:27 pm
What!?!?!?!?!?!? Does he believe being gay is a choice????
What is the point of that question?
Many Yeah, Bob Schiefer liberal pundit does it again.
Comment by cooper — 10.13.04 @ 9:27 pm
Ray,
I averaged out those 600 tax cuts, and that would average 30 votes a year for the past 20 years Kerry’s been in Congress. Yep! He’s on something alright. That would pretty much be impossible.
Comment by Kiki B. — 10.13.04 @ 9:27 pm

Are you one of the crippled that Kerry is going too heal?
Well, glad you could join us and see what it’s like to be around people who don’t need government to support us. Maybe someday you could join us.

Oh yeah…
I’m more “compassionate” toward homosexuals….
Kerry’s slipping now…
Comment by Adam Wood — 10.13.04 @ 9:28 pm
Not Ted, Bob’s trying to change the subject. Homosexuality is a choice, GW missed it, homosexuality is a perverse act. But satan is behind this culture, Rom 1 but again GW did’nt hurt himself. Hold the judges to account. Look at Kerry who is trying to be political. All things are a choice. It’s called FREE WILL. You will have to choose!
Comment by sergeantjones — 10.13.04 @ 9:28 pm
Way to be condescending Kerry!
Comment by cooper — 10.13.04 @ 9:28 pm
Cheney’s daughter? Why does Kerry keep invoking Republicans?
I guess that means that Kerry is being the slandering, lying liberal he was born to be.
Comment by Allan — 10.13.04 @ 9:29 pm
I wish he would leave the VP’s daughter out of this. If the daughter herself wants to speak up, fine. This way it seems to me as though she’s being used.

Here we go! Kerry respects, but does not follow Catholic precepts. There goes the Catholic vote.

GW did’nt follow-up, because Kerry sunk himself. What is Kerry saying……

wow…Kerry was an alterboy, I guest that means I should vote him…..
Comment by K. Ham — 10.13.04 @ 9:31 pm
Kerry is going after the Catholic vote….
How many times will Kerry say he is Catholic tonight?
Comment by Jeff Blanco — 10.13.04 @ 9:31 pm
I AM SHOCKED! I would never have believed Schieffer capable of a hard ball to Kerry, but the question about Catholic bishops sanctioning him was just that. Kerry was an altar boy — is that supposed to give him a pass on following the dictates of his religion?
Comment by Deborah Toms — 10.13.04 @ 9:31 pm
Kerry’s nuances are giving me a headache.
Comment by Dee — 10.13.04 @ 9:31 pm
“We are ALL God’s children!” Only John Kerry would turn a Church sermon into a political rally last Sunday, and then, turn a political debate into a church sermon.

Kerry is stumbling on gay marriage.
Goodness, we just learned he was an altar boy and he’s quoting the Bible.
He’s going to paint himself as a saint next.

I’m not running as a Catholic President, I’m running for the presidency who just happens to be Catholic.
I know you are but what am I???
What a childish stupid thing to say.
You need to stand up, stand tall and not back down on your convictions. What a weasel. Who could vote for him?
Comment by cooper — 10.13.04 @ 9:32 pm
How long did Kerry not tell us what his religion is, now suddenly it’s the centerpiece of his beliefs?

When ever Kerry talks about “God” and his faith I can’t help but laugh.
He is such a “false prophet”
Comment by Renee — 10.13.04 @ 9:33 pm

Health Care cost are on the rise because of the excesive regulations.

Yeah, Bush irritates me when he doesn’t stick with his gut and say…No … I am against abortion… period, not open to discussion:)

My sister’s here for a visit and she won’t let me watch the debate. It doesn’t sound like I’m missing anything really earth shattering. Just politics as usual.

True Coop… a Pharisee… false prophet give hims more power…
Comment by Renee — 10.13.04 @ 9:35 pm
Kerry just does not have a record that says he will do ANYTHING excpet raise taxes and expand an already dysfunctional government.
Bush is giving details on how he will empower the PEOPLE and has the record to support his details. Kerry is being vague and evasive and reiterating how he wants to and WILL TRY to radically expand government.
Comment by Raymond C. Coleman — 10.13.04 @ 9:35 pm
“When I was in Vietnam, I was a Catholic who believed strongly in a woman’s right to use. And Health care reform.
Shhhh… I really mean nationalizing it….don’t tell anyone…
Comment by Adam Wood — 10.13.04 @ 9:35 pm
How about people themselves being responsible? The cost has risen because of 1) new technology (this ain’t your country doctor making housecalls) 2) Kerry’s running mate causing malpractice insurance premiums to go up by powers of ten and 3) illegal aliens going to trauma centers for a cold or a headache.
Neither candidate will mention any of these.
Comment by Allan — 10.13.04 @ 9:35 pm
Kerry looks as drab as Bush did in the first debate.

Yes Kerry, EVERYTHING’S is Bush’s fault…deep sigh
Comment by K. Ham — 10.13.04 @ 9:36 pm
Canada cannot even get drugs efficiently to its measly 65 million people. How are they going to manufacture enough for them and US?
Comment by Raymond C. Coleman — 10.13.04 @ 9:37 pm
Is this circular or what? We make drugs and sK wants to reimport out of Canada — price controls by proxy. How about helping make it cheaper within the US from the get go
Comment by Andy — 10.13.04 @ 9:37 pm
Medicare is not healthcare, Dipwit! Also, Canadian drugs?? What’s in them? Are they safe? Probably not, just like Mexico’s aren’t.
Comment by Kiki B. — 10.13.04 @ 9:37 pm
Allen, That is a great point, especially the illegal aliens (since I have to deal with that at my own medical facility).
Comment by Renee — 10.13.04 @ 9:37 pm
Is’nt healthcare for all Americans expensive?
Comment by sergeantjones — 10.13.04 @ 9:37 pm
He’s going to give us healthcare provided to the congress. Great now through taxes we’ll fund congressional healthcare and our own! It’s Hillaryycare at its best.
Comment by cooper — 10.13.04 @ 9:37 pm
You know, I think Kerry is trying to tell us that he was abused as a child. Maybe that’s why we are suddenly finding out about his “faith”
Comment by Jeff Blanco — 10.13.04 @ 9:37 pm
W gives good juxtaposition between his 3.5 years vs sK’s 20 years of generating results

My Mom is going nuts with Kerry…
She is a nurse and she is just going on and on about most people don’t take care of themselves (even when they do have insurance)…
and don’t go to the doctor when they should and can…
and then cry when it’s to late…
just like Kerry

I have the perfect healthcare plan, one I think we all should adapt. I get it for free, the rest of you pay… that’s the Democrat way!
Vote Democrat, it’s easier than getting a job!
Comment by Jeff Blanco — 10.13.04 @ 9:39 pm
Hey LaShawn! How ya doin! Thanks for having me.
Hi everyone! Glad to be here!
I dunno, I think Bush is a tad off his game tonight. The simple wealth of knowledge Kerry is pulling off — the specificity of it — is hurting Bush. He was better last week.
Simply saying “He has no record” over and over again isn’t enough.
Bush is the incumbent; it’s about his record, such as it is.
Comment by James Lamb, Jr. — 10.13.04 @ 9:39 pm

You’re right Renee. Mu husband’s a clinical social worker. People refuse healthcare they have all the time.
Comment by cooper — 10.13.04 @ 9:40 pm
Kerry’s healthcare plan is simple: bankrupt the country so we all have equal access to a third rate healthcare system.
Comment by Doug — 10.13.04 @ 9:40 pm
Yea, I thought GW 3.5 vs 20 years is a good point. What has Kerry done the last 20 years. Say it loud, No Record! should be the Headline in the morning papers.

OOOOH, nice little jab about credible news orgs
I heard the audience snickering
Comment by Andy — 10.13.04 @ 9:41 pm
He has a plan again? He STILL has not said how he can pay for it?
Democrats held power in Congress and Senate for over 45 years and they did NOTHING for healthcare and prescription drugs.
OUCH!!!! GREAT SHOT AT THE NEWSPAPERS AND CBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Comment by Raymond C. Coleman — 10.13.04 @ 9:41 pm
Finish the remark on quoting news orgs, darn it! Why won’t he stick the knife in? And then he quotes an original report. Good job, but stick the knife in…and twist.

Comment by Kiki B. — 10.13.04 @ 9:42 pm
Did Kerry just say we could “avoid surgery and dialysis” to lower health care costs? His spiel on health care was a mumbo-jumbo mish-mash.

Comment by Renee — 10.13.04 @ 9:46 pm
Good job….cite “Monyhan (sp?), a Democrat.”
It doesn’t quite satisfy me quite as much as if he’d said:
“The fact is that that this is a crazy Ponzi scheme, and one generation is just going to have to buy everyone else out. Let’s start now.”
Comment by Adam Wood — 10.13.04 @ 9:46 pm
An invitation to disaster says Kerry. Because I’m rich and I don;t want you to be either. You’re too stupid to make your own retirement choices. Let us just keep handling it for you.
Comment by cooper — 10.13.04 @ 9:46 pm
Can’t allow people to invest their own money…no, no. Let me and other nutjobs like me have it and we’ll parcel it back to you at a starvation rate. What a maroon!

There goes Kerry on why we’re not smart enough to handle our retirement funds. Government Knows Best!
Comment by Kevin — 10.13.04 @ 9:46 pm
AAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHH!!!!!!!!! I can’t stand Kerry’s condescension! Why shouldn’t I be able to put MY OWN MONEY into MY OWN SOCIAL SECURITY ACCOUNT?? Why do I have to keep paying into a plan that I probably will not ever be able to use.
Comment by Kiki B. — 10.13.04 @ 9:47 pm
Exactly Kerry’s position on EVERYTHING, trusting the people to do the right thing is a distaster.
Kerry will not trust the American public with their own safety, with their own healthcare, with their own taxes and not even with their own retirement investments.
Anybody agree, he’s an ULTRA LIBERAL?

Kerry is such a stupid idiot. If an illegal immigrant comes here and gives birth in the US, their child is an American citizen, therefore, none of them can be deported. Why do you think so many of them come here to give birth? Many of them don’t even disguise the fact that they aren’t from America.

If we would raise the minimum wage we’d soon find a cure for AIDS.

Puhleeze - my family of four on one income is definitely lower middle class income-wise, but we live pretty darned well - and have more than we need. We make some sacrifices, but we also have made choices that lead to those sacrifices - and we did it willingly. We have no jealosy or animosity to those who’re getting richer due to their own hard work or choices in life!

Bush is stealing the Education issue from the Democrats, and he’s doing it right in front of Kerry… PRICELESS.

Now Dee, you know its the Republicans, who are causing voter fraud (ssshhh! please) Why do Dems always bring this stuff up, when I go vote I check in, fill out my ballot and I leave. Dems fuss at the checkin even before they fill out the ballot. Voter fraud is a distraction. Dems get 90 percent of the black vote…why is there voter fraud in these communities. The same people are still winning in the Dem party.

LOL
Raising the min wage sounds like the cure for everything
Comment by Renee — 10.13.04 @ 9:59 pm
sK has a plan for AA in minimum wages for women. I guess that means women will not find jobs as men get preference — more bang for the buck in the minds of those who rather pay women 76cents on the dollar.

Wealth redistribution by raising the minimum wage will cost jobs and raise prices of EVERYTHING. It will raise costs in healthcare and even make employers cutbenefits.
Comment by Raymond C. Coleman — 10.13.04 @ 9:59 pm
1% of Americans got $89 billion in tax cuts. Then on to American values, raising the minimum wage. WHAT DID THE OTHER 99% OF US GET IN TAX CUTS?? I know my hubby and I got tax cuts. We like it!! Kerry certainly wouldn’t let us keep more of our money, and we aren’t in the top 1% of the country in income. Not even close! Furthermore, I highly doubt that people making $200,000/yr. are in the top 1%, either.

Bush seems sure of himself…
Kerry doesn’t
Comment by Jeff Blanco — 10.13.04 @ 10:00 pm
take the education and change your position, and mininum wage want be an issue.
Comment by sergeantjones — 10.13.04 @ 10:01 pm
WHAT? You have voted numerous times to weaken the 2nd Amendment. Kerry is a liar!!!

sorry sK, just because SCOTUS says it is, doesn’t make a constitutional right. More so with Roe v Wade
Comment by Andy — 10.13.04 @ 10:02 pm
Yes Kerry, It’s Bush’s fault that Black Males are unemployed in NY…what a load of sh**!
Comment by K. Ham — 10.13.04 @ 10:02 pm
I love when Dubya calls Kerry liberal…HE HATES THAT!!!
Comment by Renee — 10.13.04 @ 10:02 pm
John Kerry, some our young black americans want to be hip hop stars, can we truly say they are looking for a job.

Was Bush slapping TERAYZAAA there? English = not first language?
Comment by Allan — 10.13.04 @ 10:03 pm
“Liberal senator from Mass….”
My wife didn’t speak a word of English when she came here, that was in 2000. She speaks english just fine, and she did it without government spending….
Comment by Jeff Blanco — 10.13.04 @ 10:03 pm
“Funding” programs. Where does this boy Kerry think this money comes from.
TOUCHE’ on the “percentage” increase. Measuring? Democrats are against educational metrics.
After school programs? It is NOT my job to take care of YOUR kids.
Comment by Raymond C. Coleman — 10.13.04 @ 10:03 pm
oh the draft issue this oughta to be good!
Comment by K. Ham — 10.13.04 @ 10:04 pm
BS: Draft, Reserve back door draft, what can u do to help…soft ball
Comment by Howard — 10.13.04 @ 10:04 pm
OOOOOOHHHHHH!! Kerry just told us to “be the judge”. Now isn’t that contrary to the left’s mantra? We aren’t supposed to judge anyone. Oh wait, I mean we aren’t supposed to judge them. Judge away, then.
Comment by Kiki B. — 10.13.04 @ 10:04 pm
Oh my gawd, he’s the “Moderater”?
Kerry just admit it, the draft is being preoposed soley for political purposes. It’s not needed.
Comment by Jeff Blanco — 10.13.04 @ 10:04 pm
All US Senators’ salaries should be given to National Guard members. That’s what we can do for them.
Comment by Kevin — 10.13.04 @ 10:04 pm
CHARLIE RANGEL is the ONLY person who has offered a bill for a draft.
Comment by Raymond C. Coleman — 10.13.04 @ 10:04 pm
as a former Latina child, I owe my education to my parent’s hard work not some Goverment Plan. Screw you senior Kerry.
Comment by Dee — 10.13.04 @ 10:04 pm
How to get out of the Reserves on time?? Maybe Kerry can give some hints on dishonorable discharges.
Comment by Deborah Toms — 10.13.04 @ 10:04 pm
As a military veteran it is a pleasure to serve my country. Who made Kerry top recruiter for our military, when he is anti-war.
Comment by sergeantjones — 10.13.04 @ 10:05 pm
here we go with the backdoor draft
Sorry sK: you don’t raise 2 divisions and double the # of SF overnight. It will take 2 - 3 years just standing that up, that’s just plain reality and saying otherwise won’t make it happen any faster.
Comment by Andy — 10.13.04 @ 10:05 pm
More troops, diluted special forces, deploy nat guard at homeland to relieve pressure…pure crap.
Then, France and Germany will be his backdoor draft
Comment by Howard — 10.13.04 @ 10:05 pm
“I’m not going to appoint a judge to the court who is going to take away constitutional rights”
As my wife just came in and pointed out, if they’ve put that into the constitution, then I’m going down to the free clinic tomorrow and demanding an abortion!!

Kerry: “America is strongest, when it kisses French arse”.
Comment by Dee — 10.13.04 @ 10:06 pm
Here we go again! (sigh) “9/10 troops in Iraq…blah, blah, blah. I’ll expand the military.” I believe it was the Dems. in the ’90’s who decimated our military, and if there is a shortage today, it’s because of them. Oh yeah, and carry will get us allies. Nevermind the 30 countries who are involved with us in Iraq and Afghanistan now.
Comment by Kiki B. — 10.13.04 @ 10:06 pm
Real alliances! you mean with coutries that were brided by Iraq (France, Russia)!
Comment by K. Ham — 10.13.04 @ 10:06 pm
Kerry says we need to work through a “real” alliance. Tony Blair, call your office… you are a fake ally!
