According to Rasmussen Reports:

"September 27, 2004--Most Americans (54%) favor leaving U.S. soldiers in Iraq until that country's political situation is stabilized. A Rasmussen Reports survey of 1,000 Likely Voters found that 31% are opposed to that policy.

The survey also found that most American voters believe it will take a lengthy period of time for Iraq to reach political stability. In fact, 60% of voters say it will take at least three years (including 27% who say that goal will take more than five years to accomplish)."

(end quote from Rasmussen)

This poll seems to show that an ad about Kerry's recommendations before the Senate (in 1971) for early withdrawal from Vietnam, followed the disastrous consequences, followed by Kerry's 2004 call for withdrawing the troops within 6 months, could be EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE.

If Kerry is in favor of something opposed by 54% of the voters, (and only favored by 31%), AND his previous track record in that domain is shown to be disastrous, he loses the election, pure and simple. Give Bush 54% and split the undecided, and Bush wins a landslide.

SBVT must show the electorate that Kerry is the "cut and run" candidate.

IMHO, THIS is the issue that could sink Kerry for good!!! A 23% difference on this issue is way outside the margin of error for any "scientific" poll. Could an ad like this be run shortly after the first debate, just in case Kerry scores any points during the first "foreign policy" debate?

People seeing this ad will make the connection and understand the danger in Kerry is that history would repeat itself.

It is my view that the SBV4T have successfully portrayed Kerry's military service and his anti-war activities to the point that anyone wishing to know about Kerry's history - knows it.

So additional commercials covering that period are probably a waste of resources. BUT, to my knowledge - no one has successfully brought Kerry's how current BS impacts on our brave service personnel.

Therefore, I feel it is time for the SBV4T to develop a commercial (with their excellent "been there" perspective) using troops currently 'in country" - or those that have recently returned. If guard and reservist can be used it is doublely effect - since Kerry considers them as "not serving".

He not only provided aid and comfort to our enemies to in the 70's - thereby damaging our morale - but he is doing the same to our sons and daughters TODAY.

This is GREAT DATA ..

folks, we need to distribute this info to like minded groups. I forwarded it to the Club for Growth (www.clubforgrowth.org) and Progress for America. The former org created the "Wetahervain" ad point Kerry as open to any suggestion from "wherever the wind blows"

this data might SINK KERRY finally. The record of Sen. Kerry as on "uniltateral withdrawal" is disastrous. More than 3m people of South Vietname suffered paid with their lives becuase of policis advocated by him and the loonie left. Now he wants to repeat his adolescent performance but this time on Iraq..

Today, France and Germany confirmed they are not even willing to send troops to Iraq if Mr. Kerry gets elected.. It's time to tell it as it is : Mr. Kerry's record on "TROOP WITHDRAWAL" is a catastrophy. It must not be repeated !!

keep the faith

LInking Kerry's 70's anti-war activities with his positions today on Iraq is a valid and telling message...

Mr. Maxx:

Your comment, "Now he wants to repeat his adolescent performance but this time on Iraq.. " is right on.

We didn't lose the major battles in Vietnam and haven't in Iraq. People have to start realizing what it is we're dealing with, and let the adults stay in charge. What we are facing today is too important for "politics" to attempt to take charge. It's too important ...

Another Rasmussen poll about voters' choices between "Finishing Iraq Mission" and "Bringing Home Troops ASAP", which sampled not only what voters want, but what voters believe the candidates would do.

What Voters Want:

Finish Iraq Mission 52%
Bring Troops Home ASAP 42%

What Voters think Bush would do:

Finish Iraq Mission 66%
Bring Troops Home ASAP 17%

What Voters think Kerry would do:

Finish Iraq Mission 18%
Bring Troops Home ASAP 64%

Although Kerry might change his position in tomorrow's debate (he's done THAT before!!!), right now voters overwhelmingly believe that Kerry would "cut and run" while Bush would finish the mission, and what voters WANT is to finish the mission by a 10-point margin.

If there's enough money left, another SBVT ad that replays Kerry's 1971 recommendation of withdrawing the troops from Vietnam, the disastrous consequences (those shelves full of skulls would be devastating), followed by Kerry's 2004 declaration that he would withdraw from Iraq within 6 months could sink Kerry for good.

Voters ALREADY believe Kerry would cut and run--by showing the results of his previous "cut and run" tactics, that 10-point margin on the first question could increase, and Kerry would have a tough time winning on other issues.
