Talking points
1. Bush and CHeney are just out of touch with the real world and real-world problems. They have shown extreme lack of judgement in so many aspects of policy and doggedly stuck to ideology despite overwhelming evidence contradicting their positions. ....feeds into the idea that he is slightly off kilter. He's unstable. Coming unglued.

2. Bush is such a stooge and so insecure that he EITHER needs to have lines fed to him and still has his @ss whipped by Kerry in debate and looks the crazed fool....or he is so insecure and afraid of his own shadow that he is wearing body armor and WH just can't admit that. We have a right to know. Is our president healthy? Is he suffering from some malady? Why didn't he have his physical? The bulge isn't the tailoring...so...what is it, Scott McClellan? Keep this one stirred up for its annoyance factor.

3. THE EVIDENCE AND REPORTS THAT ARE OUT! Case closed. End of story. THe proof is there. No WMDs and weren't any after 1991. Isn't that what us antiwar protesters were saying when we begged for more time for the inspectors? Bush's own guys (Kay and Doofffa?) come back saying, "Nope...ain't anything there, boss."

4. The part they are now latching onto....Iraqi corruption in Oil for food...actually implicates Halliburton and CEO.

5.....stay tuned.

1. How to intimindate Bush
What if, just as the debate began, Kerry was able to insert something about how Bush continually resorts to his crutch of using labels such as "LIBERAL"

-- I MEAN --- before Bush even starts to ramble on.

...Then Kerry provides him (briefly) with the definition of LIBERAL.

He then says "let's debate; let's see if you resort to labels all night"

If he could somehow start out setting Bush up like that, the intimdation factor for Bush would be massive.

He wouldn't be able to say "liberal" without feeling like an asshole.

Kerry could set Bush up right away by making it intimidating for Bush to use "Liberal" right off the bat.

2. I LOVE it. you should be a debate strategist
if they could dampen some of the weapons BUsh needs to resort to by having Kerry preemptively strike in his opening statement...brilliant.

Then I want to see him piledrive Bush all night with gentlemanly calm.

4. Kerry can not talk directly to The Idiot Bush. What he can do is talk to
the audience. Say with a wink Let's see if the pResident can get through this debate without resorting to CHILDISH name calling. We know Liberal means concerned for ones fellow citizens and open minded. Let's see how long it takes this pResident to imply something else?

3. Liberal
They just keep saying Bush will be saying "Liberal" all night..

Kerry can easily turn this around and make it INTIMIDATING .. he HAS to beat him to it!

Bush will be tongue-tied if he feels ackward not using his favorite L-word. He'll piss his pants.

HE CAN BE INTIMIDATED !!!
