John Kerry's Fatal Mistake: Pew Poll (Bush 48%-Kerry 40%)

[randog]

True, at his core Kerry is a traitorous, self-serving sob.

[Clump]

Yes, this reflects my gut reaction when I saw Kerry go down that road. Desperation can make a person do crazy things. That plus being impulsive is not a good combo for a Presidential candidate.

[conservativepoet]

Yes indeed!

Craville, Begala, Lockart....Sometimes you SHOULD look a gifthorse in the mouth.

The bunny suit was such a good idea either.

You bet....and I agree...they'll self destruct him lots faster than anyone else...they've been hoping for this opportunity...now they've got it...should have taken Gore's advise...stay clear of the clintoon clan....to bad he didn't. ;o)

Desperation has just made his true colors come out. He is just reverting to the tactics that he started using in 1971 - he is finally starting to say what he really thinks. You are seeing the true Kerry. The anti-American, anti-military, backstabbing traitor!

For Americans with a brain...Kerry's fatal "mistake" is when he sided with the Communists during the war in Vietnam..

He then continued to side with the communists in EVERY confrontation, and voted at every opportunity to diminsh or weaken America's military...

The bastard is CLEARLY a lying traitor and should have been shot for that crime, long ago...

It is unbelievable that he ever survived, and was STILL elected to public office in Massatwoshits.

Semper Fi

But didn't Biden say that Kerry didn't attack Allawi? (end/sarcasm)

Sorry Joe, the country heard it and it was an attack.

Yesterday on Hannity and Colmes, Dick Morris (Yeah... I know...) said some things about the Kerry campaign that really made sense. He said that going after Bush on Iraq at all was the fatal mistake.

They were looking at the internals of the latest polls. Bush was creaming Kerry on foreign policy, but still trailing on a lot of domestic issues. (Though Bush is improving in these areas.) Rather than emphasizing his own strengths in the domestic area, Kerry has charged headlong into the one area where Bush is at his strongest: Foreign policy.

On some of the internals Kerry still had an edge on domestic issues. Colmes kept pointing to those internals and general dissatisfaction with the progress of the war as evidence of Kerry's strength as a candidate. Morris began to look quite exasperated as he tried over and over to point out that Kerry may have an advantage on domestic issues "...but that's not what he's talking about." Day after day, Kerry goes back to Iraq and hands the discussion back to Bush.

The mistake is further compounded by his acceptance of the segmented debate formula. The first night is supposed to be nothing but foreign policy. If the debate were on any and all subjects, he could get away from pesky foreign policy questions by drifting off into education or health care. Instead, the format forces him to stay on topic or look ridiculous. Making things worse, Morris points out that he can't take any firm position on Iraq without alienating at least a third of his base. He's painted himself into a corner on Iraq.

Can you imagine if heaven forbid the ORANGEMAN gets elected and ends up having to meet with Allawi in Iraq. Allawi might have him dismembered! No way the ORANGEMAN has the guts to show his face to Allawi. How can he possibly be President?
