Debate strategy

DEBATE STRATERGY
Can Kerry Push Bush Over the Edge in the Next Debate?

Suggest that Bush has transferred his compulsion for drink to a compulsion for war.
(Comment: Many psychologists believe that Bush exhibits the character defects of an alcoholic who stopped drinking but never got treatment.)


Call him a mama's boy.
(Comment: Bush always sought primary approval from Barbara.)


Say that no matter what he does, that Jeb will always be his daddy's favorite.
(Comment: Daddy and mommy Bush never really expected George Jr. to amount to much.)


Tell him that even if he wins this election, that he still won't be able to kill his father and marry his mother.
(Comment: Psychologists have suggested that Bush exhibits a classic Oedipal complex)


Tell him that he will never be the man that his father was.
(Comment: At least George Sr. knew how to lie his way into building a coalition.)

1. Makes for pleasant daydreaming...
...but I trust we all know that if he actually says any of them they'll kill him in the post debate spin for being too negative and combative.

2. Here's the disclaimer from the website:
Disclaimer:
Dear Stupid Right Wing Journalists and Bush Campaign Managers:
These suggestions are made by citizens concerned with the mental health of our national leaders. This is not officially a part of the Kerry campaign. So don't be even more stupid than you already are, by saying that it is.

3. Bush is as disengaged on the economy
as much (if not more) than his father was. His policies are hostile to the middle class. My humble suggestion would be to call this out as much as possible while continuing to highlight alternative plans and a fresh start. Many people are not better off than they were four years ago.
