I thought it would be interesting to go back in time to 2000 to see what Govenor Bush said during the debates against Al Gore. I didn't watch the debates in 2000, and didn't think I needed to, but if I had I might have been more impressed with Bush on certain issues at the time. Couldn't vote for him or against him anyway. I've taken voting much more seriously this term since I will be voting, and I think it is not only important that we watch presidential debates, but that we take the time to look at the last presidential debates as well.

So here you go:

And a somewhat fair assement of what the candidates stood for last election. Be careful to note on Sept. 30th what was and wasn't accomplished and how many of these issues the president is still running on.
