Bush needs to be on offensive against Kerry, and keep it up.

The ad Morris is referring to is this one:

Kerry vs. Kerry

[ex-Texan]

*BUMP*!

BumPing *.*

Hear the Kerry backup singers

If you don't want to watch the 30 rounds of the Kerry vs. Kerry boxing match, GOP summarized it, so you can read it. Each round is an issue. I am glad they did this, this way you can scan the issues and Kerry's flip-flop positions.

Here is that page:

I am reminded of the debate in which old Admiral Stockdale, the VP selectee of Ross Perot, said something like, "I'm all out of ammunition on that one."

The danger in this campaign with the election still 8 months off is to fire all the rounds one has so early that the opposition has countered that weapon and your candidate has run out of "ammunition."

We know in this "spin" world that virtually any argument can be countered with talking points "spinning" a different take on the issue.

President Bush should save SOME of his best rounds for the last month of the campaign when there is little time for Kerry to respond.

Therefore, I disagree with Dick Morris regarding going negative in this respect: early ammunition should be used to harass and interdict. If there are pro-Bush ads creating a patriotic sentiment about the man, then I see nothing wrong with that. Positive ammunition is also useful.

One must be sure that there is PLENTY of money for the last month of the campaign....and EFFECTIVE AMMUNITION to fire!

If the Republicans do too much damage too early on Kerry, the Dems will find a way to withdraw him and replace him with someone else; thus, the Republicans will have wasted alot of time and money.

It is 6 months until the conventions, 8 months until the election. Many, many things can happen to both sides in that amount of time.

8 months of bickering and bashing will turn off many potential voters.

I heard Morris on Hannity this afternoon heavily critiscize the Bush effort so for. Was this new an opinion since 4:00 PM EST???

I have the parody that needs to be done to Kerry. Scene from "Rain Man." Dustin Hoffman (Kerry) is being questioned to determine what he wants to do, or if he is even capable of making a decision:

Reporter: John, I'm going to ask you a question

Kerry: Yeah.

Reporter : John, do you support the war in Iraq.

Kerry: Yeah.

Reporter: You think the war was the right thing to do?

Kerry: Yeah.

Reporter: You support the war?

Kerry: Yeah.

Reporter: John, I'm going to ask you another question, OK?

Kerry: Yeah.

Reporter: John, do you oppose the war in Iraq?

Kerry: Yeah.

Reporter: You oppose the war?

Kerry: Yeah.

Reporter: John, do you know the difference between supporting the war and opposing the war?

Kerry: Yeah.

Reporter: Do you oppose the war?

Kerry: Yeah.

Reporter: Do you support the war?

Kerry: Yeah.

Reporter: John, they're two different things.

Kerry: Want to support the war and oppose the war in Iraq.

Reporter: John, do you know the difference between supporting the war and opposing the war ...?

Kerry Running Mate (breaking in): OK OK, you made your point. You don't have to humiliate him! John, it's over, do you hear me john, it's over. No more questions.

Kerry: No more questions. No more questions.
