Should Kerry IGNORE BUSH And Start Attacking CHENEY????

[Beetwasher]

In the next debate, should he pull this move? Make the Chimp defend Cheney? I noticed he left it up to Edwards to respond to Chimpy's Mulligan. Would this be a KILLER move or what?

1. No.....

That's Edwards' job. Kerry mustn't look like he's going after someone with less stature than bush*. He must look presidential, and he's doing just fine with it. Kerry must look powerful, not petty.

3. It Would Drive Bush Nuts

It would totally throw him off his game and after the VP debate, it's clear who's in charge to most people now.

Yeah, he probably WON'T do this, but I thought it might be ironic considering it was Cheney's strategy to go after Kerry...

[charlyvi]

5. The gut instinct is to go after Cheney....

but after thinking about it, Kerry must be above this type of thing. If he put the smackdown on Cheney, BC would kill him with it. No class, not presidential material, etc. You know the drill.

12. No, he is good as gone anyway. I agree.

Giggle.

7. I've always thought this. Everyone's afraid of this guy Cheney.

I'd try it for a week and see what the focus groups say. It could be a better way is to turn the swiftboat into shore and take the real enemy head on. Cheney is the real head of the serpent.

6. YES

He should start debating the 'real' (p)resident of the past four years AND should offer a three pack of Fruit of the Loom underwear to Bush if he'll "Pick nose. Pick Butt. Pick Kerry!"

8. definitely not

The repugs have spent 3 and a half years pumping up Bush's gravitas and command and involvement. They made their bed, make them lie (pun intended) in it. They want to claim that Bush is a decisive leader. But clearly he is by far the weakest of the four men that have debated so far. Don't let up now. Drive him into the ground and hopefully he will show what a coward he is by canceling the third debate. Remember in 1988, when it became obvious that Dan Quayle was an absolute idiot and Dukakis referred to that? Bush pere made hay with that fact, saying that this was the first time that a candidate for president ran against the other party's vice president.

9. I think the extreme contrast of intelligence and vision between Kerry

and Bush is a great thing. I think Kerry should continue to expose Mr Bush for the untruthful, dictator wannabe that he is. :hi:

[dogtag]

10. Kerry could offer to amend the rules and let Cheney

stand next to shrub at the podium. He can debate them both. With one hand tied behind his back.

I guess it won't happen, but talk about the ultimate putdown. "Bring Dick along, loser."

[MoonRiver]

11. Nope. Go after the weakest link, which would be the missing link, *.

14. Wouldn't THAT just be the shit?

Tee hee. "Hey I think I'll go after the little man behind the curtain and leave this one to suck his thumb."
