Anybody who thinks Kerry wasn't clear on his plan for Iraq is
either totally brain-dead or just doesn't want to get it, because I don't think Kerry could have been any clearer. He explained his plan and it was clear. All these excuses of people who said they wanted to hear more on what he would do are really not interested in anything but seeing Bush win.

"My biggest impression is that John Kerry never answered the questions," said Dan Roberts, a 45-year-old Democrat from Vancouver, Wash. "He went off on why Bush was wrong, but he never said what he would do to change things."

For Roberts, Kerry's failure to give more details on Iraq "probably cemented my decision" to vote for Bush.

Craig Morrison, who is in business with his wife Marilyn, said Kerry still has trouble explaining his positions on the issues in everyday terms.

"He's still going to get hammered," said Morrison, a 54-year-old Democrat considering a vote for independent Ralph Nader (news - web sites). "I don't think he explains himself that well. He missed an opportunity to explain his votes for and against the money for Iraq."

1. Those people are a lost cause....
they got their heads up their butts and Mr. butthead sounds more like Zell Miller. We just need to replace Mr. butthead or head-in-the butt, with at least 5 people to vote Kerry. Let Mr. butt eat shit.

2. In two minutes or less
please explain your entire plan for Iraq.

I think he did a great job of giving the few major points, and then reminding people that the details are available on his web site. Jeez, people somehow expect an entire plan to be spoonfed to them, without having it take more than a few seconds!

5. My co-worker said she didn't think either had a cohesive plan
When I pointed out that it was a little difficult to explain such a complex issue in 2 minutes and that all she had to do was go to johnkerry.com and there was his entire plan layed out; she back pedalled and started saying she didn't see how we could get out of Iraq because "those people" have no regard for life; "they" have totally different beliefs; "they" are so different from "us".

Seems because she's (apparently) a bigot and she can't figure out how to solve the problem, that no one else is capable of doing so.

Just my take.

"she's (apparently) a bigot" pretty much says it all! Don't bother 'cause people like this are die-hard Bush supporters and their head explodes when they see their emporer with no clothes.:evilgrin:
