The second presidential debate features sharp exchanges on Iraq taxes and the economy. Bush accuses Kerry of plans raising taxes on the wealthy and targets small businesses while Kerry labels Bush a deceiver over weapons and job losses.
Debate covered Iraq weapons claims and CIA findings, U.N. sanctions, cost of war, manpower and homeland security spending. Kerry and Bush sparred over deficits, jobs, health care, environment, taxes, and Shinseki retirement. Public security and fiscal paths shaped the exchange.
About 115 people gathered at the Dole Institute at KU to watch the second head to head debate between major party contenders. Lawrence residents watched from KU and St Louis while Veterans for Kerry members followed the results, with observers noting Kerry looked more presidential and opponents criticizing Bush for reciting policy. Debate Watch, a KU program, encouraged discussion and post debate questionnaires to help voters learn and decide.
Local voices in Lawrence express mixed reactions to the debate. Randy Asberry backs Bush, Dana Rubin and Nick Willis back Kerry or oppose Bush, while Daniel Benson praises Kerry and Seth Swartzendrer cites faith over politics. Laura Albert notes Kerry sounded more intellectual and Gary Swartzendrer leans Kerry. Salina observer praises Bush as a smart salesman.
