Kerry's BIGGEST Mistakes in the Debate

"it's the 72 hours after the debate that matter when it comes to driving things out of the park."

Agree. So I hope the Pres and VP and their surrogates grab and run with Kerry's "Must be our fault" think, and his long term opposition to our programs. The real contrast here is Kerry thinks nuclear proliferation is the biggest problem, whether in terrorists' hands or ours!. W sees proliferation in terrorist' hands as #1, but refinement and development of our own arsenal as contributing to our safety and security. This is a major and glaring contrast working to our benefit, and should be highlighted and trumpeted loudly.

Whoever is assigned by the White House to rummaging through these threads: please nail this....

Excellent contrast. You're right on the money.

Kerry put nuclear proliferation at the number one issue, but he doesn't mean "in the hands of terrorists."

His negative example was his OWN COUNTRY.

Good memory....I'd overlooked that.

We need to find the old articles where Clinton helped the NK's with "nuke fuel."

Then show Kerry saying "Give the Ayatollah some nuke fuel."

It is the most deadly suggestion that came out last night.

Need someone with Lexus/Nexus access. Most of the archives are hidden behind subscription walls these days.

Yes that is very true.

And another thing god damn thing. Skerry says we have no allies over there. But is there not over one-hundred thousand Iraqis now fighting side by side with your American troops.

In other words there are now just as many Iraqis done the hard god damn work as the American and other allies in Iraq.

Its nice to see he seems to leave that "little" tid bit out of the equation - not!

4. Kerry denies a multi-lateral approach to N. Korea. He has previously said that Pres. Bush FAILED by not pursing a multi-lateral approach in Iraq. In Iraq, Pres. Bush has most of our major allies supporting us and providing soldiers. In N. Korea he has brought the China, Russia, Japan, and S. Korea into partnership to pressure N. Korea and Kerry sasy NO MULTI-LATERAL. This flip-flop is right on national TV and it goes unnoticed.

I thought this was absolutely outrageous. I was shouting at the TV for the president to call him on it, say "Wait a minute, we're supposed to get multi-national support for Iraq but not for North Korea?"

Seemed like there were several missed opportunities of this kind last night.

[agrace]

That's another flip-flop that is infuriating to me and goes largely unnoticed. Kerry criticizes Bush for using Afghans when we went into Tora Bora, claiming that's why Osama got away. Then he criticizes Bush for dismantling the entire Iraqi Army as soon as we go into Iraq, saying that it caused the security of Iraq to fall apart. (Meanwhile, half the Iraqi security forces were Saddam loyalists.)

So which is it, Kerry - are we supposed to use local security or not?

In other words there are now just as many Iraqis done the hard god damn work as the American and other allies in Iraq.

And unless I'm tuning in the Bizarro News Network, it seems like everyday now that the Iraqi police and their new army are taking the brunt of the punishment.

[plain talk]

You are harping on minutae. We have a felon here and you're focusing on jaywalking. The whole country understood what he meant except for you. Bigger issues and items to attack Kerry on than this.

I hope you don't mind if I post your list of Kerry gaffes on another forum. I haven't seen such a comprehensive list as yours and the libs are in desperate need of a reality check right about now. Thanks.

[xzins]

I have no problem.

It does give them time to create some sping, but who cares.

SPIN!
