2. The "war" president
doesn't listen to his top terrorism expert nor does he read memos he doesn't like. * is obviously an ass clown.

3. Love the analogy
While I am not Kerry's biggest fan I am impressed with the way he vacations while the Mayberry Macheivelli's hang themselves with the rope they are given. Its a long way to the finish people and there is nothing to panic about at all. Bush will lose in a landslide.

4. Kerry needs to go to Bush's right on terrorism.
Kerry needs to keep beating the drum that we are less safe under Bush and that Bush has been asleep at the switch when it comes to national security. National security has always been seen as Bush's strong suite, Kerry needs to beat him up with it. The media will try to push him off this issue but he needs to stay on it like a dog with a good bone!

Also, watch the 9/11 families. If I had lost a loved one on 9/11, I would be in a rage today after Clarke's interview on 60 Minutes. My bet is that one or more of these families is going to file a law suit against Bush and his thugs.

6. Yup
He needs to attack relentlessly on security issues...We are less safe because of the Chimps policies. It's the damn truth and everyone needs to know it.

8. Kerry - The Prosecutor
Laying out the case with witnesses. I would bet he will stay out of the 9/11 debate for a while, let the commission do its work and all. In other words, let all the witnesses testify and make the case themselves. Much more effective than turning it into a political pissing match.

Then, when the time is exactly right, and that could be September for all I know, we will see Kerry - The Warrior. And THAT will be the big payoff we've been waiting for!!!

9. You are right Kerry is a man who knows how to plan ahead.
He isn't going to run a firebrand campaign because it would burn itself out too soon. Kerry knows that the most important thing to do is get voters into the booth, and he is going to pace his campaign (just like he did in the primaries) strike just when he is supposed to, and not a moment sooner to insure the win.

10. the majority of the public doesn't give a damn about the truth.....
...or anything else in regard to politics...the ones who are interested are already so entrenched in their own view of things that they refuse to see or believe what they see because of their own self-righteous indignation....besides the way the media spins the truth...no matter how hard hitting it is...it favors the current administration...as with the Clarke interview last night...they mentioned Bill Clinton in the opening statements....so I seriously doubt in the peoples minds who support this pResident...they concluded anything damning against him...but instead only really half listened and continued to blame Bill Clinton for everything....there's just no way I can believe we're not in for another 4 years of pain and suffering with *....the computer voting machines are their new and improved fraud tactic....and there's been continued fraud with the resistrar's offices in every election held since 2000 also....my accurate observation and subsequent cynisim will never allow me to get my hopes up for change...it shows me things will only continue to get worse.

:hi:

11. Unfortunately, your account is the most accurate...
Edited on Mon Mar-22-04 03:28 PM by nomaco-10
of anything I've read here today. The polls during the primaries were quite telling when Iraq ranked 3rd or 4th on the minds of the sheeple. The economy, McJobs and health care always polled above the bloodletting for oil.
The only thing on the minds of the American people are being able to have enough cash to trade their SUV in for the latest model then fill it with gas so they can get to Walmart to buy Chinese trinkets to fill up their 5000 square foot ranch house.
