"Gould 0738" wrote in message ... I wonder why BushCo is so afraid to debate Kerry? Also: Bad strategic move. The Repubs have spent most of their campaign money and energy smearing Kerry, and with no small amount of success. Most of the people in the country have a badly distorted image of Bush's opponent. A debate would undo a lot of what the right wing has "accomplished" so far. If Kerry loses this deal, it will be because the right wing spent more money and energy telling the American public who John Satan Kerry is than Kerry was able to. Kerry has been defined by the opposition- often a losing position in any game. Bush is not a good speaker, (to put it kindly). He would look like the daily dufous trying to find and correctly pronounce the words he would need to answer questions from a panel. Contrary to low expectations going in, Bush out-debated Ann Richards, and he out-debated Al Gore. He'll beat Kerry because Kerry will come across as a high-brow elitest and alienate the common man swing voter. In today's day and age, you try to appeal to the middle 20%...and that's the group that votes by the seat of their pants...many times voting simply for the candidate that is "more likeable". More people like Bush. Kerry has virtually no appeal to people who don't identify themselves as staunch Democrats. The irony is that the subject matter and each candidates answers probably won't matter. Kerry's better grasp of the English language may actually work against him by alienating the average joe that makes up the middle 20%. |

Republicans appeal to the lowest common denominator. Bush is about as low as you can go, in terms of ability, intellect, and getting along with others. He's a scumball. But America seems to be heading towards the gutter, so perhaps it is fitting, eh? A hundred years from now, or even 50, Arabic will be the native language here, and its rise will be traced to the failures of George W. Bush. -- Not dead, in jail, or a slave? Thank a liberal! And don't forget to pay your taxes so the rich don't have to! |

Republicans appeal to the lowest common denominator. Both sides appeal to the lowest common denominator. We target the religious zealots and bigots...and you guys target the social deviants and immoral hedonists. |

What in the world are you talking about? Are you suggesting that the Muslim world will overthrow our government? Are you suggesting that so many Arabs speaking individuals will move to the US that they will be able to vote for a new official language? Or are you just making a joke? |

He lives in a fantasy world where he owns a 36 ft lobsta boat and his social worker wife is a doctor doctor. |

If being a likable lug is all it takes to be POTUS, this democracy isn't working. Hell, if this Presidential race has turned into a popularity contest, I'm going to vote for Michelle Pfeiffer. At least I'll pay attention during any news conferences. |
