Is There Anything FOX Doesn't Spin?

Apparently not. Check out the responses to the "Question of the Day" today: Debating Debates: How Important Are They?
First answer:
"My mind is already made up and the debates don't matter to me. I think I'd rather go to the endodontist for a root canal than have to listen to Kerry drone on and on and on try to impress us with his nuances."
Out of eight letters printed, six are pro-Bush or anti-Kerry. One is neither, saying "Bush is a Sissy and Kerry is a traitor."
The pro-Kerry letter is much less emphatic than any of the pro-Bush letters:
"It is my opinion that the debates will be good for Kerry. It seems to me that the president had one big goal in Iraq and that was to get even with Hussein for his dad. Because after Hussein was caught everything else just seemed to stop except for our boys getting killed and decapitated every day. Bush is doing practically nothing to end this war. We need a multination force to surround and clean out the area and get it done. I also believe Syria is aiding and abetting the enemy and probably has Hussein's weapons. We need to cut off the borders on all sides of Iraq."
Here are some more of the memorable ones, all pro-Bush, anti-Kerry:
"The debates are not important to me because I know who I am going to vote for. It will, however, be good for undecided voters to view the candidates at the same time. They will see the deep contrast between an arrogant opportunist who will say anything and a wonderful president who is very relaxed and confident."
"The consensus that the debates will determine the next president is pure hogwash. President Bush can stumble on the stage, fall flat on his face in front of the podium, insult the audience and the Pope and break wind in front of the microphone and it still wouldn't matter. Most of us have decided who we want to be President and it sure as heck isn't Kerry."
Many thanks to the commentor who pointed this web page out to us. I'll keep an eye on it in the future!
