Ok, by now we all know that Bush just will not admit that he made a miskate in several area. Whether Kerry did said he made a miskate when he voted on a bill in the Senate. We all know politicans won't admit they made a miskate (or rarely do) because well, they don't want to lose vote. So, given that Bush thinks hes the next Messiah and Kerry actually admit to making miskate. Does Kerry seem more favorable in your eyes since he has the guts to admit to making miskates?

It makes him more credible.

It's hard to claim you didn't make a mistake when it is plainly evident that you did (e.g. lied). <cheap shot> I don't know how leading Republicans do it so often.</cheap shot>
I wouldn't say that Kerry admitting his mistake makes him more attractive, but Bush and his administration systematically lying about their mistakes makes them seem even more evil.

I think Kerry saying he made a mistake was very honorable. Bush saying he didn't is just arrogant.

In tonights debates, the question "Name three instances where you made a mistake, and what you did to correct them."

Bush admitted to nothing.

He still spews the same rhetoric.."I made the right decision in Iraq, and would do it again."

Funny, since Donald Rumsfeld says there werent any weapons of mass destruction, and havent been since 98.

Bush goes on and on about Saddam being a threat to america, becuase he might have given wmd's to terrorists.
Even though Iraq had NOTHING to give them.

America deserves better.

funny you would say it like that, they are 'evil' and yet claim the 'moral highground' and the more religious of the two 'leaders'

Bush simply amazes me. It seems the more I see him and watch him talk, the more I am continually impressed how utterly sheltered and stupid he really is.

I chose "evil" as a nice short word, rather than typing out "deceitful, wrongheaded, hypocritical, odious, etc." I did not mean for "evil" to be tied to religion, but I think every prominent religion frowns at deceiving people you are supposed to be helping in order to retain your power over them. They can claim the moral highground as much as they want - they don't have it.

Bush admitted to nothing."I made some mistakes in appointing people, but I'm not going to name them. I don't want to hurt their feelings on national TV." - Source (http://www.debates.org/pages/trans2004c.html)
It's not saying he should've left Iraq alone, but it is something.

Yeah, I caught that. I wonder who he was referring to.

My guess is people that quit from his administration and spoke out against him. If it is, then thats hardly admitting you made a miskate.
