Its time for Kerry to use the "I" word
No no not impeachment.


I think he needs to call the president Incompetant to lead in tomorrow nights debate... Sire You got nothing right in your original justification...now you are calling me a flipflopper? Sir your foriegn Policy is incoherant, and your presidency is rip with an incpetancy that has cost us over 1,000 lives.

1. Inflexible, insipid, intractible, incoherent, idiotic?

There's so MANY good 'I' words that could get used to describe this bonehead.

2. I agree
I've wanted Kerry to call Bush "incompetent" for a long time. I know they're loathe to rekindle of Dukakis' "it's about competence, not ideology" line, but this time there's a real record of incompetence to point to. And he can tie incompetence together with "fantasy world of spin" to show Americans that this presidency has been a disaster and is only getting more disastrous.

Incompetence would really hit him hard.

I also want him to use the following words: "reckless," "responsibility" (ESPECIALLY This - he needs to say, vote for responsibility, not recklessness), and "true leadership."

4. Incompetant should be part of the opening statement


get Bush of his new "game" right off the bat and make the debate about Dubya.

The you saw the same evidence I did line: Mr.President I saw the evidence you wanted the Senate to see.
I ti is about competance and Kerry should go for the jugular. The timing could not be better

5. I agree Kerry and Edwards should be screaming about the
intelligence. The intelligence they saw was cherry picked, stove piped, and stood on its head. And every day new evidence of this comes out.

3. Edwards already did
On the VP debate, he did it -- using straw man Richard Lugar, the R Senator from Indiana, chair of Foreign Relations, who said war in Iraq was handled incompetently. What could Cheney say? He said nothing at all.

12. You've all missed the most important word..... INTELLIGENCE
More precisely, "Yes I saw the same intelligence as President Bush, but I would have been intelligent enough to form a REAL coalition. I would have been intelligent enough to have a REAL plan. And finally, I would have been intelligent enough to TELL THE TRUTH TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE."

14. He should also bring up Chalabi
Duped by a fraud. Providing spun intelligence to Congress and the UN..., Now WMD, no link to Al Quaeda, big contracts for Cheney's buddies 1,100 dead 38, 00 maimed a country on the verge of civil war and a breeding ground for anti-Americanism, $120 billion in cost and rising....and you keep telling the american people about my judgement.


Mr. President Due Respect.....If this had been a Democrat in the White House you would have impeached him.

Everyone know Sadaam was an evil man.... but what else if anything did you get right?
