Vice Presidential Debate - Talking Points

RNC ^ | October 5, 2004 | Ken Mehlman

[granite]

 

 

The debate tonight presents a tremendous opportunity for the campaign to attract undecided voters, but people's perceptions are shaped as much by their conversations around the water cooler as by the debates themselves.

The Vice President's goal is to do what he's been doing throughout this election: explain to the American people why the President's policies are right for America and the world we live in today - in fighting the war on terror, in keeping our economy growing and in responding to the new challenges of the 21st century. 

After last week's debate, the Kerry campaign spin machine managed to mask their candidate's flip-flops on the war in Iraq, imposition of a "global test" for protecting America, and repeated denigration of our troops and allies.

If we plan to win the election, we must fight back against their spin and make sure our friends and neighbors get the truth.

We need your help tonight!

• Visit www.GeorgeWBush.com/DebateFacts tonight during the debate so you will have the facts.  Print and share them with your friends.
• Immediately after the debate, visit online polls, chat rooms, and discussion boards and make your voice heard.  The major news networks will all have internet polls after the debate.  Make sure you vote in polls on:
  • MSNBC.com
  • FoxNews.com
  • ABCNews.com
  • CNN.com
  • and even CBS.
• Make sure swing state voters know why you support the President by sharing your thoughts on message boards in target states.
• Call Talk Radio shows in your area.
• Write letters to the editors of your local papers.

Beyond tonight, you should return to these forums in the coming days and make your voice heard and your support for the President known.

If someone asks you a question about the President, direct them to the campaign's website, www.GeorgeWBush.com.  It has lots of information on the President's Agenda for America (www.GeorgeWBush.com/Agenda) and the President's record of accomplishment (www.GeorgeWBush.com/Record).

We have said before, there is no better messenger for this campaign than you.  There is also no more powerful medium for political discussion.  As one of our online activists, you realize that. 

Make your voice heard by completing the actions above.

Sincerely,
 
Ken Mehlman

Let's hope Cheney brings up the "global test" concerning the "Food For Oil Program". We all know what a great UN and global success that was. The UN is a complete farce.

I read that the DNC had a software that will bypass all cookies and will lock in their votes. This explains what the votes were so much in their favor.

Cheney is going to make toast out of Edwards tonight.

I hope that software does not work at the Registrar of Voters Computer System. "Vote now, vote often."

It is slow, but if you want to vote multiple times you can try finding the cookie and deleting it, then voting again. I did that at CNN a few times, but then I decided I had more important things to do than freep some stupid, rigged CNN poll.

Let the have their polls. Let them think whatever. Let them go naked.

This country has better things to do than screw around with the ever-diminishing stacked deck of chads.

NUMBER ONE talking point after tonight's debate:

We live in an era when the president is a larger target for assassination by international terrorists than ever in our lifetimes. There is a very real possibility that John Edwards could ascend to the presidency. The left concedes that VP Cheney is quite capable of the handling the job (even if they disagree with his positions) because some already believe that he is really the one running things. Is John Edwards a man that we can trust a heartbeat away from the presidency?

This man ran away from Congress and hid at home on the morning of 9/11/2001. The capital building posed too great of a target for Edwards to stay there. District police came to his home to bring him into protected custody. Read about this admission on my profile page (I have a link to the full Larry King Live transcript).
