Nice post. You should fit in very well here.
How did you find Free Republic, if I might ask?
Not only wrong, but marvelously wrong. Next time keep the vanity post to yourself.
Desperate to score points, Kerry will inevitably question the President's service record.
That is the point when he walks right into a left hook by Dubya.
Who wants to miss Kerry's mental breakdown on live TV??
I agree, there should be at least 2 debates.
They would be good for Bush because the left actually buys into it's own propaganda - that Bush is a moron.
Remember what happened to Al Gore? Gore thought he was gonna wipe the floor with Bush. And by the last debate he had hired feminist Naomi Wolf to teach him how to act like an 'Alpha Male'.
Bush has gotten good advice from others who have debated Kerry in the past, like William Weld. Kerry's single most effective debate tactic is........to change the subject.
That's it. He does it over and over and over and over.
So all Rove and Bush's advisors have to do is counsel him to keep going back to the main subject being debated and don't let Kerry change it.
Bush can be an exceptional speaker. The left may not believe it and may have spent the last 4 years brainwashing themselves that he's not, but I saw the speeches he made while Gov. of Texas, and the ones he made after 9-11.
Bush knows how to connect with people because he can speak from his heart from conviction.
Kerry can't do that. Kerry will hem and haw and digress and nuance and try to feel out the answer that is desired.
Bush is a good debater. Just ask Al Gore. I don't think Kerry has bothered to ask Al, though.

Not sure. I think I clicked a link from an article
from Washington Post perhaps dealing with Blather's
recent forgeries issue, were mentioned was made of
various bloger sites. I usually only go to the WP via.
hyperlinks from other articles.
For a long time I spent most time at conservative
sites such as The Weekly Standard, or lets say Bennador
Associates, a DC based think tank who often have very
informative articles on US/world events etc..
Only recently have I started to seek sites as this one,
where I can get a snap shot into what others may have to
say. Interesting. Again, this seems like a stable site
to obtain a wide variety of info not found at any MSM.
Two much for my pee brain to keep focused on.
Well that's my profile snapshot. Probably more then Big
John Kerry has offered the American public for the last
20 years! Darn, I dislike that man.
Agree. He's never "governed" anything. (Probably not even in his home. After seeing and hearing THK, I think she does the governing.)
I'm not aware of any such demand, either historically or legally. I can think of a few off-hand examples in 20th Century contests where no debates were held.
Also, President Bush has no need to worry about the debate or in wasting his time there. Most of us have a higher regard for his abilities, apparently.
Agreed. Bush destroyed Gore, in my estimation, and he will cream Kerry. That wasn't my point...which was that Bush's declining to participate in any debates would not damage him, so why bother?
