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.

If you were Bush, why would you submit to a direct, head to head comparison to
Kerry? Kerry would have nothing to lose, Bush would have nothing to gain.

As long as hate, fear, distrust, and stupidity are more common human currencies
than enlightened discourse and issues oriented discussions, Bush and his ilk
will continue to communicate through propaganda- not a civil debate.

Once again, the socialist liebrals whine about others doing the very thing
they are guilty of.

I have yet to figure out why the American public has given Bush a pass
for the last four years. He has utterly failed as President. In almost
every way that matters, the country is worse off than it was four years
ago. Yet the smirking idiot gets up there in his controlled appearances,
says nothing, mangles the language, and half of America loves him.

Perhaps half the country is as stupid as he is...and therefore they
identify with the simple-minded Bush puppet.

I agree, except the Dem's have spent most of their money smearing Bush. We
still do not have Kerry saying I was a great Senator for 20 years, showing
leadership, etc. We are screwed by the Dem's running idiot, incompetents
also.

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.

It's because your party just doesn't get it. Kerry's campaign has decided
to ignore each candidate's record while in public office, and make this
election about each candidate's life from 30 years ago. Whoever made that
decision is a blooming idiot. But I guess that's what you do when you know
that you can't run on a 20 year voting record in the Senate that establishes
you as the most left-wing elected official in the country. No matter how
bad you paint Bush's 4 years as President, people like the decisions he's
made...and don't like the way Kerry voted in opposition to those decisions.
Kerry doesn't have a prayer in November.

being elected more and more.

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.

Here we go again! What's a socialist? If you're going to use the word
constantly (and, I might add, erroneously), you may as well tell us what you
think it means.

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?

harry is just a simple union hack, with little understanding of the real

social worker wife is a doctor doctor.

Sad, isn't it? 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.

Why can't he be both?

Actually, if you pay a little attention, NOBBY has unmasked himself a
couple of times as a Communist agitator.

Which would make me a socially immoral hedonistic deviant...like many of the
left-wing mutants here on rec.boats.
