I'm all for it. I think the audience should be filled with vets also and they should be able to ask a few of the questions.

Yes!
A huge BUT.....
You know Kerry will try to turn it into a "service" debate instead of veterans issues. Since most moderators are members of the media, they'll let him.
Hide and watch.

Jeez! Do you think a way could be figured out to have Brit Hume moderate?

Would Kerry's Cowards let anyone from FOX moderate?
Has Kerry ever even been interviewed by anyone from FOX?

The American people have very little confidence with members of the media.
How about two moderators, one from the Veterans for Kerry, vs whoever we come up with. I thought John O'Neil handled himself pretty well in the 71" Cavett debate. Perhaps we could have a 2004 re match of that debate.
Just thinking out load with you guys.

I'd go for that - Brit Hume runs the best news hour on television, though John Gibson is pretty damn good, too.
Brit Hume is quick on his feet and doesn't brook any BS... no Dan Blather softball crap with him. Both of "The Johns" would have a terrible time with him.

Two Moderators - One chosen from the veterans for Bush team. And the other from the Veterans for Kerry team.
What do you think?

The only problem with vets from both teams is that W would have sooooo many to choose from and John "F" would have so little...LOL  |

Absolutely yes! I think the more air time this issue receives, the more people become informed, the better chance we won't have a slimeball as CIC.
This isn't one he can hide from if it can be shown in the light of day. Also, I would request that if anybody has any real good email to forward me to pass on to my daughter who is currently serving in USMC, please do. She has a large list of active duty Marines and they particularly like the one's that are motivating.
I've never been politically active in my life, but this John has the hairs on the back of my neck up. This can't really happen here can it? (Kerry as Prez?) |
