How Bush can destroy Kerry fast

The Hill ^ | 3-3-04 | Dick Morris

Have Fox call me - I'll vouch for you as someone that has a thinking head as well as a talking one.

Thanks! When they call I'll holler.

I also think that it really showed up how non-thinking the Dems are. They really are like sheep.

[hosepipe]

[ In opting for Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts and turning down Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina, Democrats have broken from the pragmatism and moderation that dominated their party’s profile under Bill Clinton and Al Gore in the 1990s. ]

MODERATION!...
Dickie lose the hashish!...
Its makein you sound STUPID'er...

[mombonn]

I have absolute confidence in the Bush team to run the right campaign - strategery isn't about to fail them now.

Right, Ma Richards?

Memo to the toe sucker: Rove has forgotten more than you'll ever know.

[John Lenin]

The best thing to do right now is keep hammering on Kerrys flip flops and make him take hard stands on things. Once he does that he loses one of the sides he was playing too and it makes him look even more of a hypocrit.

[Dog Gone]

Pundits say that Kerry’s admirable war record makes national security irrelevant as a campaign issue.

Has anybody actually seen Kerry's war record, or do we just have some medals he pretended to throw over the White House fence and some supposed Republican he supposedly rescued supporting him?

[auzerais]

All the GOP needs to do is to keep repeating:

If Kerry is elected in 2004 then the terrorists will have won.

This is my take on this Bush vs. Kerry presidential race. First, Kerry is fond of saying "Bring it On!" and the press just squeals in delight although I'm having a hard time exactly understanding who or what Kerry's telling to bring it on!". Second, President Bush, used that same term earlier and got ramroded by the indignant tones coming from the democrat leaders and of course their good pals, the press. I at least knew to whom the President was referring to and it was not the American people.

And finally, in response to Kerry's bring it on", that the President has already "Brought it On!".

The world's dictators just dropped by 3 and that's in less than 4 years. And, a whole lot of people have been liberated from tyranny. Gosh, doesn't Kerry ever hear the Bells of Freedom Ring?

BTW, Mr. Kerry, where is the exit plan for Bosnia and Kosovo?

[CGVet58]

well, he lost me when he suggested our troops pull back into safe bases - as if being a blatant and passive target is supposed to enhance our warriors' domination when these same are on the hunt for the enemy.

This is a war. In war, you do not get snug and wait for the enemy to shoot at you - that surrenders the initiative to your enemy. In war, you destroy the enemy; you win the war... and you can best do that by getting after him.

Aside from that, I say let the shias who were brutalized by the sunnis have full run of the so-called sunni triangle; right down to razing every building and salting the earth, just as Rome did to Carthage - we'll then see how much longer all this bullshit would last.

[randog]

Bad advice. Some tell me how such a clymer get so prominent?

I got half way through this article before I decided that this guy was giving some bad advice. For starters, Morris wants Bush to throw away the whole Vietnam issue, an issue that's not going away because Kerry refuses to let it go, and it's an issue that Bush could capitalize on in so many ways. At the bottom of the article Morris talks about Bush beating the war drum, but who fights our wars? Men and women that end up becoming vets. And who isn't supporting Kerry because of his deplorable treatment of them? Vets! The two issues are tied together. Morris completely missed the target on this one.

Bush should run a positive campaign about his record and smile a lot (Kerry looks constipated most of the time)

all attacks on Kerry should be generic without Bush actually saying the words. The last month Bush needs to hammer the coming tax increases under Kerry and ask every middle-class family how much they want to spend out of their own pockets to elect Kerry. (At about $2,000 per household only the real nut-jobs would vote for Kerry)

[Jeff Chandler]

First, his paid media must attack Kerry’s voting record to define him as an ultraliberal... if Bush uses the next eight months to educate voters on Kerry’s opposition to the death penalty, his vote against the 1991 Iraq war, his poor attendance record in the past year and his opposition to the Defense of Marriage Act, he could put this election away by defining Kerry right now.

Absolutely correct.

Finally, Bush must begin to pull American troops out of Iraq after the handover in June. He should leave a sufficient number there, in safe, secluded bases, to intervene if the bad guys try to come back in power. But the daily drip of casualties must end.

Absolutely incorrect. President Bush must decide on troop placement and/or withdrawal based upon sound military strategy. He must NEVER allow politics to dictate policy.

[BigBlockk]

When did Johnson lose by keeping troops in Vietnam? He beat Goldwater in '64 and refused to run in '68. His VP, Hubert Humphrey, lost to Nixon in '68.

At least that is the way it looked to a 10 year old.

Bush should run his ads only in important states and let the media run them around for free, like Morris did for Clinton.

ROFLOL!!!

[NotchJohnson]

He is very smart, and right. He told Clinton what to do. I can't imagine the betrayel the left feels towards him.

[NotchJohnson]

Dick Morris is ALWAYS wrong

He kept Clinton in office, even after Monica, I disagree.
