The Debate: Bush's Closing Statement about Foreign Policy?

October 13, 2004 9:36:18 PM from JoeUser ForumsJoeUser Forums
Hey, is it my imagination, or did Bush focus on foreign policy in his closing statements?

Wasn't this the domestic policy debate?

Yeah, but a few times they talked about Foreign Policy. Don't ask me why.

I'd say that Bush made a good case of linking domestic policy to foreign policy. He wants to say "there is no difference, what's good for america is good for the world" -- Bush did that tonight.

Then the world should be able to vote in the US elections(and GWB would not want that right now.)

I don't care how liberal you are -- I will NEVER agree to that.

It isn't arrogance, it's reality. when the US economy does well, the world does well. If the US economy is in the tank, the rest of the world is hurt.

It is worth noting that even as far back as 1929, when the US wasn't nearly as powerful, its economy tanking largely led to the world wide depression.

Americans, on the whole, do not give a damn about the rest of the world. This election will be won and lost on what Americans believe is best for themselves.

Is it arrogance? Then call me arrogant. I respect Kerry for saying he won't give American security issues a veto in the world. I respect President Bush for not doing the same. Does that make me biased? Guilty as charged.

It is not only arrogant but paternalistic and dangerous. Why do you think America is so on the nose abroad, for exactly this reason. There is a touch of the Louis XVI's in this.

No problem - Kerry went to the Iraq card on the very first question. You're not voting for Bush, anyway, so what's beef?

Cheers,

blogic, yeah the debate was about domestic policy but all the poll numbers show that terrorism is his strongest card to play, so it made sense that he would sneak foreign policy in during his closing remarks. Politically, it was a pretty smart move to say something about it but to refrain from over-doing it.
