Should Kerry get more "personal" with Bush?
Edited on Thu Oct-28-04 11:57 PM by Southern Patriot
Bush has been savagely, repeatedly and consistently attacking Kerry's character. ("Senator Kerry will say anything etc. to win.")

Meanwhile Kerry seems to attack Bush's policies or his administration's actions. ("dodging, and weaving to avoid responsibility")

Should Kerry start savaging Bush's character? ("George Bush has proven himself unworthy of the office and the trust of all Americans. He's a serial deceiver and misleader. From things as insignificant as a photo op ranch to his ever-changing pretexts for putting Americans in harms way, George W. Bush is as shifty as a carnival con man."}

1. Kerry should never mention Bush again, IMO
Just go completely positive from here on out. Kerry got in the last shots. Now leave Bush flailing at air.

3. Bush himself is enough proof of lack of character.
Johnny K doesn't need to reiterate.

Anyone who still supports busholini jr is willfully ignorant and incapable of rational thought.

Landslide!!

4. Yep! We don't need to give the media any new excuses
to talk about the fluff. Bush is on the defensive right now and keeping the news focus constantly on Iraq can only help.

5. Kerry needs to attack Bush on failed policies, not personal attacks.
Personal attacks on Bush will not sway undecided voters.
