I do not think your opinion will pass the global test.
Modern Debates are framed by individual moments.
Reagan's 'there you go again', Bush smiling at Gore as he came into his space' etc.
This debate will be remembered simply as 'the global test'-that sums up the difference between the two men, which one is going to stand for our security.
Amercians do not believe in letting the world have a veto over our security.
exactly
kerry proved himself to be
the "GLOBAL TEST" candidate.
permission from france is required with kerry.
THAT is the message kerry got out.
Bush got out his message.
"what the hell your talkin bout boy? international court, france, germany? WE can't wait for them to let us defend ourselves you nut!"
The fact that he LOOKS and sounds "rough, repetitive and redundant" in his "freedom is hard work" statements... goes to make the point. W is STILL a plainspoken texan, not a DC minded politician. Simple. Direct. Repetitive.
America needs reasurance that things are stable.
And mr "nuanced-to-the-point-of-abject-confusion" kerry, just doesn't do that. I couldn't figure out still, whether he completely supported the war effort or completely opposed the collosal failure?
still don't.
but elections will be held in Iraq. Why? Bush said so. It'l be so. That's what I got.
AMERICANS know that Iraq will have them, without france's permission and despite the 'collosal failure' in judgement that kerry swears is the state of things, or was, or would not have been... Still who knows what the hell does he think?
bet you can't figure the forty two sided pile of 'nuance' either. American's see snobby slick and think, who needs a fancy talker to talk stuff to death? Give us a simple straight person of few words, that mean something specific we can understand... and ACTION that is consistent with what has been said.
and that is what our allies want too.
