Careful. If they suspect your in any way associated with the Free Republic they'll replace you with a Million Mom Marcher.

First make sure you tell anyone who asks that you are a lifelong DemocRAT but you're not sure how to answer some of the questions you get from your Republican friends. Questions like, "how is that Sen. Spitball....errr, Kerry ...in the first debate can criticize President Bush for spending too much money on Iraq (200 billion dollars so far) and then a few minutes later say he would increase spending on Iraq?" Trying to explain this to your Republican friends makes you feel foolish.

I recommend that you forego FR teeshirts or anything else that would indicate your political leanings in advance, or your views will be discounted, however cleverly you advance them. For that matter, don't wear a tee-shirt of any sort, or you'll look like a lightweight. Dress decently for a television appearance, and choose a color that will contrast with your skin color without drowning it out. They'll put makeup on you but they won't give you a haircut, so take care of that yourself.

Be circumspect, dignified, gently humorous, and unfailingly courteous. The better you keep your temper and the more reasonably you speak, the more you'll make your overemotional opponents look like fools. Remember that the most successful conservative commentators never indulge in vulgarity or become excited: you won't see Charles Krauthammer or Ann Coulter raising their voices.

You have the honor of representing all of us. We're depending on you.

Be sure to get REALLY familiar with the MASSIVE national vote fraud being pushed by the Democrats. There are TONS of documented stories all over the country...

Dems have been engaging in MASSIVE, and WIDESPREAD VOTE FRAUD all across the country. See this article that I wrote with documentation from DOZENS of cases.

They're trying to STEAL the election just like a tin-cup dictatorship...

I like Texas Eagle's approach. If you say that you are a Dem "on the fence," you will get plenty of attention.
The economy debate will stress 2 themes - jobs and tax cuts.
You can say that you are disturbed that the Dems seem to always be on the wrong side of tax cuts - that the argument that the tax cuts are for the wealthy is just a smokescreen to raise taxes.
On jobs - you can say that as a stockholder you noticed that the stock market bubble burst began in March of 2000 during Clinton and that tax cuts have stimulated the economy. The unemployment rate is now very low 5.5% and the economy is gang-busters. Good luck.

What is the "Global Test" Sen Kerry feels must be met before the US can committ US Troops to defend US National Security?

UN Resolutions? We have 14 Iraq that Saddam was in violation.

Clear Danger to US Security? In Dec 1998 Sen Kerry sided with President Clinton when he id'ed Iraq as a National Security threat.

Attack US? Taliban in Afganistan had no clear link to the 9-11 attacks on US. SO Kerry would not of invaded Afganistan.

A broad Coalition? What are the 31 Nations with troops on the Ground.

Basically, stripping away all the DNC's spin machine ofuscation, what Kerry's "Global Test" boils down to is Kerry will only act if permission is give US from the French and German goverments.

Ask why Kerry won't sign Form 180 -- what's he hiding?
