Maybe not word for word, but that's what I expect. There's more to come, remember. The mood in Iraq is changing. More people will talk. We haven't heard it from the Iraqi scientists yet...it's going to get better and better. Patience, they say, is it's own reward.
Bump.
Frankly, I think the time for patience is over ...
Michael Jordan is bald? Let's discuss!
(Kidding. You're absolutely correct!)
How can Bush can win the election?
Select Rudy Giuliani as his running mate!
That is a slam-dunk victorious ticket (IMO).
Let's say this happened now. It would be news for a day and maybe a week. Then it would be swept under the rug as if it never happened while the media concentrated on more newsworthy events such as who will Lurch select as a running mate.
But let's suppose it worked. The Democrats would simply pull a Torricelli.
Bush has to spar with Lurch only enough to keep the polls close to even. The time for the knockout punch is late September or early October even if the Republicans have to use paid advertising on the alphabet networks to harp on this theme until election day.
Lurch has not pulled ahead in the polls. At best, he is running even. He will probably get a convention bump, but not enough to carry him into September.
Bush needs to respond with sparring jabs until then and save the knockout punch until 4-6 weeks before the election.
It can be done in one bold stroke -- but you have the wrong stroke.
CLOSE THE BORDER! DEPORT ILLEGALS! RESTART AND STEP UP THE SWEEPS! IMPLEMENT A RATIONAL IMMIGRATION PLAN! REMOVE THE AUTOMATIC CITIZENSHIP OF ILLEGALS!
Over 80% of Americans (100% of true Americans) believe in these steps and will support anyone with the stones to put them into place.
"The time for the knockout punch is late September or early October even if the Republicans have to use paid advertising on the alphabet networks to harp on this theme until election day."
Exactly. This is a risky rope-a-dope but will pay off because there is so much ammo and more coming every day. The debates are where the knockout punch will come when W states that Lurch had the same intelligence as he did and as Clinton, Russia, France etc. Then read Kerry's statements about Iraq in 1998 and 2002. It's not a problem of having the ammo but when to shoot it. Closer to the election when people are paying attention is the time-frame.
Sorry, but no way. Giuiani is fine for NY and a pretty good guy. However, his gun rights record is his downfall for national office.
A supporter of partial-birth abortion?
President Bush needs to stick with Chaney. He is a good man and to pick someone else will cause the libs to call him a flip-flopper. The "flip-flop" mantra is one of the strong points the Repubs have against Kerry in this race. Chaney will NOT be replaced by the admin. IMHO.
as John Kerry says, BRING......IT........ON!
The Vice President's name is Cheney.
Actions speak louder than words.
We need to see Osama in chains or dead.
Let's face it. Bush is not and never will be a great communicator.
Personally, I think he's satisfied to have gotten Saddam Hussein and doesn't really care about anything else, not even reelection. People attack me vociferously for saying it, but I think that assessment fits the facts.
i think Bush is getting to be like his father. I believe he doesnt want to win, he is probably sick of being president. I wouldnt blame him.
I think that MAKnight is right. We HAVE been patient and time is growing short...when will the Bush Campaign really get these truths out there?
It should have been done long ago and all along.
