Third debate Kerry is free to throw the RULES to the wind.

[spanone]

After the obnoxious twerp some call the president lurched at Charlie Gibson and the American people, Kerry is free to throw out the rules. He should do whatever he wants or whatever he needs to do in this next debate. If he needs to bitch-slap the smirky one then I say 'go for it'.

1. Except

Playing by the rules has been to Kerry's advantage. It makes him appear reasonable, controlled -- presidential. It also helps draw a contrast between him and the petulant little shrub. Kerry should continue to abide by the rules, it's working for him.

3. when kerry gets smeared about his antiwar activities following Viet Nam

he needs to ask the feckers if they support the 54,000 deaths over there and the bleeding war.

8. Kerry's testimony also saved lives by ending war sooner.

I have heard this argument a few times, but not nearly often enough! Many many people either are not old enough, or have forgotten how many people had turned against this war back then, and even if they weren't part of the protests, they were very happy when SOMEONE spoke out for them!

How many lives were saved because of Kerry helping to force a faster pullout? There's no way to know, but based upon the #'s that were dying or being severly injured every day, it would have been substantial.

4. actually Baker must be squirming now...

if Bush looses on Nov 2, then Baker will loose all his clients on Nov 2.

2. He needs to aim the Kerry/Edwards Boat straight for

* and let him have it! What's he going to do? Walk out?

5. We are going to see a lot of rules, and laws, broken

over the next few weeks. We learned from four years ago that presidential candidates to not get disqualified for cheating. I am not advocating that the Kerry organization breaks the rules, they just need to be prepared for some heavy sleaze.

7. all he needs to do is do what he has been doing

which has been working. He is concise, intelligent, and presidential. The perfect alternative to the chimp.
