Sounds like another desperate strategy for Kerry to distract the media from the SBVTs! lol

Kerry knows the President of the United States has no time to perform a debate a week especially during war time. Thing is Kerry dreads the debates with Bush. As he himself said when asked how he would do against Bush in a debate, Kerry replied "Bush is a good debater and has never lost. He beat both Ann Richards and Al Gore". And I believe he said this to cushion his future loss to Bush in the debates. For Kerrys political strategists to say they will debate once a week till election is nothing more then trying to stop the bleeding of their candidate. Issue a challenge they know their own candidate would fail at but their opponent cannot accept. Quite sophmoric but then again this whole race is coming down to what can Kerry do to gain traction, becuase those Swifties taking all the wind out of his sails.

I read a suggestion on another forum for President Bush to invite him to debate in Iraq in front of our military. Even offer to fly him over.

I'm so happy to know that this forum exists and allows Americans to inform and connect with others who are working for the good of our nation. We all must ask the hard questions and expect the HONEST answers. The quotes speak to the heart of it all.

Kerry wants weekly debates because he is currently having daily debates.
Daily debates about what he said the day before.
He wants some downtime. Very Happy

Kerry needs debates because SBVT are devistating his campaign. He can only try to regain credibility by being on the same stage. Politically speaking its a very early time for desperation, this is a desperate move.

To stay the course, we need somehow to convince Kerry that the germane debate is with the veterans of this country -- NOT BUSH! Besides, we have a few questions for Kerry that remain unanswered. He needs to answer the questions and then we can debate the issues.

I've personally been waiting for the debates for months. Anything could happen, but I believe that Bush will clean kerry's clock for one simple reason. Bush is real, kerry is not. One thing I have heard time and time again about Bush, seen for myself, and been told by people I know who have met him is that he is very real and genuine, and what you see is what you get. He speaks from the heart and doesn't need handlers.

Then there's hanoi john. He has no charisma. No enthusiasm. No likable personality traits. He's arrogant. Obnoxious. And totally disconnected from the real world, and the middle / lower class people that he claims to be wanting to serve. Like a lower income black American I heard on the radio a couple months ago. I'm a democrat, but I'm not voting for kerry What the heck does he know about me? How could he possible help me?" That says it all I think. Bush is real and time after time people have come forward to tell how they met him and he is sincere and real and treated them like he was a regular person talking to them and not the President of the United States. That's something kerry can't do even when he's NOT the President.

I think that will come across in the debates. That Kerry is a fake phony with no real personality or likable traits and can't speak when it's not prompted or planned speach, and that Bush will come across as someone real that speaks what he believes, and doesn't need a script to talk to pepole.

Kerry seems to think that the Presidency is like the Senate, where you can blow off the job (collecting full pay) while campaigning.

I am sure John O'Neill can provide some time for a debate if he is hungry for one!!

As for the real debates: they should have one in Iraq, since Kerry has never been there in his Senate capacity, he could kill two birds at once! I would just be wary of any fire though, both the friendly type and the kind he is most familiar with, the imaginary type.

There is no way Kerry can win that debate becuase of the swiftboat vets. When the moderator asks Kerry a question he will answer with a reference to vietnam and George Bush's military service. When that happens everyone will be laughing at how pathetic Kerry is that he built his whole campaign on a 4 month tour of lies 35 years ago and he didnt even earn his medals.

He will go down and go down ugly.
