"Bush needs to make it crystal clear with a dismissive confidence catchy sound bite that is heard 'round the world."

I agree 100%. After the first debate, I went back tthrought he transcript, and could see where President Bush was refuting points made by Lurch. But what hadn't come through in the debate was any fire or conviction to hammer it home and really let people see the difference between himself and Lurch. He seemed to be trying to put it out there and saying "you know what he said isn't right" without being forceful. Throw that strategy out the window and hammer this down people's throats that Lurch's healthcare and tax plan and defense record are going to be a complete and total disaster for this country!!
It HAS to be told! And told just like that!!

I talked to a nurse the other day and she told me she's voting for President Bush, but being in the trade she's in she knows she should really vote for Lurch. I didnt try to sugarcoat I asked her if she was nuts! I told her to stop and think a minute what healthcare under Lurch would be like. It didnt take her but a few seconds and she asks me "like Canada?" I said probably worse, because the scale is larger. She then went into a blistering tirade of her disdain of the Canadian and UK health care systems.

The point was, that she made her own argument that her original choice of President Bush was indeed the correct one, and she made it with knowledge she already had.

Glad you took the time to review the first debate. I believed all along that Bush won it. If you like a smooth talker you took Kerry. If you went for substance then you liked Bush. I for one want substance over smooth running this country. Kerry made a couple of statements that first debate that were so out of whack that he lost the debate right there. His "global test" comment was the worst but his idea of bi-lateral talks with North Korea was just plain stupid. Anyone with a half an ounce of brains knows the only country that can possibly get North Korea to back down their nuclear weapons program is the Chinese. If you go with a global test before any action we might as well disband our military as an outdated and not going to be used department of the government. When is the last time the UN did anything but bash the US. Look at the response they gave the thug who runs Zimbabwe for his anti-American speel. That should give a person an idea how far a "global test" is going to get us.
