Good catch! Thanks!
BUMP
You are so right, all Kerry does is attack, never answers a questions, and bores us with his arrogant, elitist rhetoric.
One thing I find so disturbing is Bush's "new tone" garbage, well new tones and nice guy doesn't smack the ball out of the park right into Kerry's botoxed forehead.
I'm tired of seeing Bush slammed at every question. I'm hate the fact that these debates are being moderated by a bunch of democrat hacks, particularly that set-up last question to Bush in the debate last week about listing his mistakes. Talk about feeding into what the liberal press has wanted for Kerry , Bush to admit mistakes, and Bush's answer was the pits.
My advice for what it is worth, if for the President to be himself, treat Kerry like he is a nuisance and just tell it like it is in his own manner.
And, finally, ask that pompous stiff bones Kerry " Got Wood ?".
I think the President should early and often say "my opponent keeps saying he has a plan, but he never says what it is. I'm telling you what I'll do--everybody knows who I am and what I want to do--but my opponent can only bring himself to say 'the President is wrong, and I have a plan.' It's disrespectful to you in the audience, here and at home, to just say he has a plan. It's disrespectful of the Senator to have these plans written for him but never learn what they are. I'm sure someone has written him a detailed plan, it's too bad he won't tell any of us, here, about it."
"This is supposed to be a debate, but it's hard to do that when one fella tells you what he plans to do and the other one won't say anything but 'I have a plan.'"
Wonderful! I hope 'they' read and listen. When the Swift Boat Vets began their ads you could see Kerry actually disintegrate. He was virtually spinning out of control. I told my husband then that the pressure and criticism should be kept on.....John Kerry has a superego and cannot survive his personna being 'attacked'. He is vulnerable...very vulnerable and if President Bush wants to save this nation he will do what he has to in order to be reelected. This is a war ever bit as vital as the war against terrorism.
Even if he said, "As a former great statesman once said, there you go again".
I'm not a professional debater so I don't know if it's considered appropriate or effective but it sounds good to me.
Bye the bye jm, the as you know the debate's tomorrow so...get it out quick!!!
LOL!
Beyond the gist of your excellent article, that is basically the contradiction inherent in Kerry's whole campaign.
HE can only attack, because his base instincts, and positions are reflexively liberal. Not that there is anything wrong with that...lol. However, The American People, wisely IMHO, reject anything with the Liberal Label On it.
Which is now the attack thrust for the Final March of the BC04 campaign.
Yes..
everytime he lies his forehead wrinkles.
"When Kerry plays defensive, he is ineffective and unlikable."
Very good advice in this post! And good luck getting it published online.
How about, "No nation ever taxed itself into prosperity."
Combined
:)
Bump for an excellent article!
Of course this cannot be mentioned, but what soldier wants a traitor for commander in chief?
I would like Bush to put Kerry down with something like, "Talk is cheap." Also, although Debate #3 is about domestic issues, Bush should look for an opportunity to mention Kerry's vote on the 1991 Gulf War. If Kerry had his way, Saddam would still be in power and in Kuwait. Kerry's failure to authorize military force despite the fact that, (1) Saddam invaded and took over a country vital to the world's economy,(2)the UN authorized force to oust Saddam, and (3)we had a large coalition including many countries in the Middle East is a damning indictment of what Kerry would do in the WOT.
Great advice jmstein7! If you don't mind I will paste this on some emails and send them to a list of people I email almost weekly in the Bush campaign. I don't know that anyone ever reads what I send them but I just feel it's better to do something than nothing. I'm gonna go ahead and spend my morning sending this out to a bunch of Bush people and Peggy Noonan. Actually, you might want to contact her because she does have a direct line with the top people in the Bush campaign. I hope and pray that your editorial gets published in a lot of places today.
"That was the Carter debate, not the Mondale debate"
My first thought too, when I read this. Apparently the hotshot with all his academic 'credentials' and
SAT scores didn't do very well in history.
That would be GREAT! Please send this out to anyone you think can put it to use.
