Bush should set all the ground rules for the debate. He should know all the questions in advance.
Kerry should be forced to wear a big diaper and show all the wounds he received from Viet Nam that got him three purple hearts.
Debate time makes me a bit nervouse. First, though I believe, (PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG), both debaters are giving the Agenda (what issues will be debated), BUT are the ACTUAL QUESTIONS THAT WILL BE POSED GIVEN IN ADVANCE TO EACH candidate?
CAN SOMEONE HELP ME ON THIS ONE?
Ok, one person made a quote to the effect ....Bush cleaned up on Gore in their debate. Yea, and look what happened.
It was one of the closest ties in recent memory. Right?
Kerry will be couched to make comments and interject very clever half truths and or lies designed to cloud those voters not solidly grounded on issues and on the character of each canditate. Usual stuff right?
Our Dear president is no angel and the Rep. Party is not perfect, far from it, hey they (Republican Party) let Big John Kerry get away with treason for many years without calling him on it and making it a national debate.
Surely most of us readers can envision how he can use certain phrases and key words, that can sway the feeble minded and those that simply do not follow politics and do not have the capability to carefully discern issues on Iraq and the general war on terrorism etc..
Do understand, that BJkerry can make some carefully crafted statement that sticks in the voters minds, and GW can talk if they let him for two hours on each point and defend most quite likely his position on the issue, and still lose the debate because of what gets planted in the voters' minds by snake man.
We must understand for all practicle purposes, Big John Kerry has survived all these years on his special quality carefully perfected to lie and get away with it most of the time.
So in closing.............I for one would not get to cocky folks. This is not going to be the cake walk you hope for.
Not finding masses of WMD's, the Iraq war in general, etc., can easily cloud the debate. It is not like we are at peace and either candidate can hoodwink the voters on a set of domestic issues.
May the good Lord bless George W. Bush and give him both
wisdom and strength to carefully choose what his advisors suggest he say and what not to say and how to re-buff Kerry
on important issues during those up coming debates.
