I can't see Kerry owning one talking point throughout. GW will have a good
come back for anything that Kerry throws out. What could Kerry possibly bring to the debate that will not be shot down by GW? GM |
|
Well, I don't want to sound overly optimistic, but if W was able to hand Gore his ass, he should be able to destroy Kerry.
The problem is that Gore was SO condescending and STUPID that he basically handed W the gun and said "SHOOT ME!" I don't know if Kerry will be that stupid. OTOH, Bush has one hell of a record in the area of security, and the SBVFT are destroying whatever imagined advantage Kerry had, so...... |
|
Bush does VERY well unscripted.
He will dominate because he is smart enough to speak a complicated message in simple terms. 45 states....and maybe California. Sgtar15 |

OK, I get owned but what is PWND [P3WND]? |

That he(kerry) is an Idiot |
|
|
OK, but now what is 1337 sp34k? |

Kerry will underestimate Bush. He is an elitest and doesn't understand the common man.
|

Man! I'm so ashamed of myself! I completely forgot about the debates! I've been sitting here thinking about how I'm goin to go vote early on Nov. 2, come home and nap all day and stay up all night watching the results come in while I post on AR15.com!!!!
The debates completely slipped my mind! How could I possibly forget about such good comedy! |
|
Everyone thought Gore was going to rip W a new one. Gore lost every debate and made himself look like a complete punk doing it (the exasperated condescending sighs, the way he aggressively approached W in a crude attempt to intimidate him).
Kerry's psychology will be weaker because he's behind. It'll be good. |
|
I laughed my ass off when Gore came up to GWs' podium like he was going to start shit. George Bushed looked at Gore like "What the hell do you want punk?" GM |

When the topic of Vietnam comes up (and it certainly will) Kerry can take a long pause in the debates, look down, blink a way a tear and then express a choked-up, misty-eyed apology to all his Vietnam veteran brothers-in-arms whom he "unintentionally" caused so much pain and then begin to lead a national "closure" of the wounds of Vietnam and in doing so (and most importantly), virtually lock up a unanimous Oprahfied soccermom vote. |
|
Kerry doesnt have a position on ANYTHING! How could he not lose?
|
|
You have to know he WILL NOT apologize--ever. He defines smug arrogance--he would never lower himself--not even to become POTUS. |
|
|
He's scum but he will never do that. |
|
|
He can't do that... I'll say it again: John Kerry is in a major pickle, and the entire Left with him, because if he apologizes, or if the truth against Kerry really takes hold, not only will it confirm that he is a liar, it will confirm that the entire anti-war movement of the 1960's was a fraud. EVERYTHING they have believed in since then has been based upon that fraud. If he apologizes, or if the truth sticks, it will be like pulling the string out of a knit sweater: the whole thing will unravel. The left can't afford that, and Kerry will not risk alienating his base that way. Besides, it will be blatantly phoney. Kerry is no Clinton. He's even worse than Gore! |

I think think GW is going to make carry blow his stack. Kerry just strikes me as that type of person to loose his cool.
|

|
I have to agree with this, I get the impression that if Kerry is provoked in the least, he will totaly show his true colors and be shown for who he really is. GM |
|
|
Kerry will come off as smug, arrogant, insincere, and condescending. He can’t help it… it’s in his nature.
Bush will come across like he always does... sincere, humble & affable, with just enough of his trademark human frailty thrown in to make him appealing to everyone except the hard core Bush hatters. He can’t help it… it’s in his nature. Bush will seal the deal in the debates & win re-election handily come November. Oh... and he will have coattails! |
|
Yeah, but no one believed her, did they? Also, there is a vast difference between selling tapes and running for President. It won't fly.
True! |

Nope. He always said: 45 states and MAYBE california. |
||
|
he'll do enough to not hurt his chances. that's all i can realistically expect.
|
|
I think he will do much better than that GM |
|
|
A loost cool is a terrible thing! The looss of cool will certainly hurt him. |

+1 Kerry has the background of the typical rich NE liberal, isolated in a cocoon of synchophants, unable to concieve of the world outside of his bubble. When you combine that with the Bush-Hatred that these people have been stewing themselves in the past 4 years, he's going to be teetering on the edge of a fury that his life-script is being thrown into the scrapheap by his inferiors. Look at how he reacted to the questions about his Vietnam service. He spends 4 months in country, relentlessly self-promotes himself while there (I read that he didn't have any socks or underware in his seabag because he had to make room for a typewriter and 8mm camera). He comes back and testifies that there were no heroes in Vietnam, only war criminals. Then 30 years later, it turns out that there was one hero in Vietnam, guess who? And he considers it a smear when someone calls him on it. One other possibility is that he's going to have some sort of bizzare expression frozen on his face by a last minute Botox treatment. I can't wait! |

I just wish the Republicans and Democrats had the balls to debate the Libertarian candidate, that would be interesting......
|
|
Both will try to out-liberal the other. For example, Bush will brag about his kindness to illegal mexicans and his support for porous borders. I'm sure he'll go on about the biggest government in American history. Kerry will brag about faggotism and abortion and the united nations. It's all about getting support from the sheeple.
|
|
{pat-pat-pat} Libertarians are so cute when they try to act all grown-up. |
|
|
Unless Kerry has had SERIOUS grooming, W will own him.
As for Spedwards, I think Cheney will have a difficult time with him... Only because Spedwards has a silver tongue. That one's going to be 50-50 IMHO. |
|
All GW has to ask is What have you done in the Senate for 20 YEARS?????? uh
L O N G P A U S E Nothing should be his answer but ............................................. End of debate |
|
Wait, I'm confused. On NPR yesterday, they were talking about the debates, and they said that Kerry was a masterful debater, and he was on his high school debate team, and he's been debating on the floor of the Senate for 20 years, and Bush better watch out and all.
I know it's true because, hey, it's NPR. (Seriously, has anybody here ever seen Kerry debate anything? I didn't watch the 9-dwarfs shootouts during the Primaries. He does have the Senate experience, after all, but that doesn't necessarily mean he was good at it.) Oh, yeah, my favorite part of the Bush/Gore debates was that informal debate with no podiums where Gore got so mad at Bush he marched right up to him like he was going to slug him, and Bush just smiled and nodded at him, like, "Um, hi there." and went on with what he was saying. |
|
I think the actual quote was "not even competent to be a masturbator." |
|
|
GWB will have lots of Kerry's voting record to use against him. He will be able to nail Kerry on flipflop after flipflop after lie.
|
|
George W. Bush will absolutely molest John Kerry in the debates.
I predict the largest landslide victory in Presidential election history in the USA. Bush 60% Kerry 35% others 5% I'm speaking of the popular vote now, the percentage of Electoral votes Bush gets will be far greater than 60%. You heard it here on ARFCOM first. |
|
Didn't Kerry just recently concede that Bush has won every debate he has engaged in.
I think the Lurch campaign is starting to see the writing on the wall. |
