You are not capable of rational thinking if you say a man who has accomplished what President Bush has in his lifetime hasn't the brain power to win a debate. I think he does and did. He spoke straight and confidently and Kerry flubbed and made up statistics.
Please do not tell me you are a Bush/Cheney '04 campaign worker that is charged with stirring up excitement within the base. That would be terrifying.
Well, I am. And actually, I have done a great deal to stir up excitement within the base. Without spinning or faking, there are many very positive things I can and do say about Bush, and his prospects. But that doesn't mean I claim him to have more brainpower than he has.
If the purpose of a forum like Free Republic is to have a candid discussion among conservatives, then I must give my honest assessment of Bush's performance, not a pep talk. I also shared my view of why Bush is not as good a debater as he ought to be.
Honest talk is never "terrifying." What is terrifying is putting our heads in the sand and pretending this election is easier than it is, that our candidate is perfect, and that Kerry is perceived by the general public to be as much of an idiot as the Republicans base perceives him to be.
Also terrifying is the low intellectual level of some of the comments on FReep. Your post is a fine example.
