Why Can't Kerry Attack "Iraq" from Another Angle???
I know the debate keeps flaring here about whether Kerry should now go at Bush's face about Iraq or remain relatively quiet as he is now doing (that should be an indication to you that the average, basically non-political Democrat is not content in his mind either). Why does this have to be all of one and nothing of the other?? In other words, where are these political advisors and why are they not coming up with a third alternative----there has to be many??

For example, why doesn't Kerry (the vet) align himself with the on the ground soldiers, their kin, and the reserve or active military who are awaiting orders to Nam--excuse me..Iraq?? Why not start pounding the podium and saying that these men and women in Iraq, these families, these reservists, these of active duty elsewhere deserve to know what they are facing. This ain't WWII so we must wait to see what the entire Nazi forces will do in order to respond. This is totally the USA's call. Demand that they play it straight with these folks right now. Hey, Americans in general are getting fed up and with just the right push M/M GI Joe and their family would fall all over someone voicing their concerns and fears. Let Bush slam Kerry for it---the usual base will rally to Bush BUT the military and their families might just very well swarm all over Kerry. Now that's just my suggestion for a third approach---tell me what you might invision where Kerry can "go at Bush" but not do a full frontal assault that Bush is ready for. Damn Kerry really needs to play the chess pieces right now.

5. Bush's demise is overrated
He will return. If our campaign is only "Bush will kill himself" then Kerry must begin work on his next Senate campaign. It ain't gonna happen. This is a stupid approach. If we can't sell them on Kerry, Bush will win by default. You gotta get up off your lazy ass and stand for something .... at least Bush does even if it's the New Nazi Empire. This lay luck a dead duck and hope the bombs go over my head strategy is a loser.

6. Kerry should make Veterans Issue Number 1 Priority
First thing he should do is bring all American troops home. Second, give all active duty personnel a raise, and increase Veteran's benefits.

7. first you gotta ask yourself
to whose tune is Kerry dancing....If you want to see legitimate and impressive antiwar essays go here:

votenader.org

Despite all the neocon rhetoric to the contrary Ralph Nader sounds like an old fashioned democrat to me.

9. some space?
The space that Kerry will wind up giving to Bush is most likely the oval office...is that enough space for him?

The Democratic Party as a whole and John Kerry as a candidate must separate himself from Bush, call him on his lies and empty promises, speak loudly about his cronyism and the looting of the american treasury for the benefit of Halliburton and others and offer the american people a legitimate alternate.
