Kerry has a conundrum. The main thing the undecideds don't like

[Southsideirish]

about Bush is his war in Iraq (they love the "War on Terror", though.)
As Kerry voted for it and has not renounced his vote, he can't attack Bush on the ONE subject where he is truly vulnerable.

1. Kerry should have listened to Byrd (and me)

Democrats should have voted against the war resolution on Constitutional grounds: it's the job of Congress to declare war, not the president. That way they're appealing to traditional conservatives and had their asses covered regardless of what was found over there. That's what Byrd did and what I was saying, people should have listed to him and me.

2. He can get by w/voting for it, under the prior circumstances. But

he screwed up when he said recently that he'd vote for it again, EVEN CONSIDERING what we know now. That was a mistake. He should've just said he won't speculate about different information he may or may not know. He cast his vote at the time, based on the information he had at the time, and that's that. And just refused to speculate on his vote NOW.

3. That's right. He'd be far, far, better off to renounce the vote.

He could say he was mistaken, misled, whatever, but this tacit support of the invasion and subjugation of Iraq only makes him look weak. Not an entirely unfounded view. If he wants to win this thing he'd better quit trying to appease the mythical middle and start standing for something other than John Kerry's ambitions to be presdident.

4. No one voted for the war

and Kerry DID attack him on it. Did you hear his speech today?

7. Kerry's strategy of playing to Bush's Right

is not only ill-advised when the country questions the wisdom of invading Iraq, but it is DANGEROUS. Bush and his thugs should be called out for their criminal neocon enterprises, not challenged by posturing as even more hardline on a disasterous course.

How damn stupid can the Democrats be? Instead of attacking Bush where he should be nailed to the wall - where he is wide open, the Dems instead attempt to join him.

5. hahhaha, Bush is vulnerable in many areas

[wurzel]

6. That is what the media is telling everyone. Why do you believe it?

Bush is "vulnerable" on a ton of subjects. The war. His military "career". The economy. The corruption of his administration. Valerie Blame. etc. etc. etc.

8. yes he can and he did today

not one thing i would do different, but about everything i would do different with iraq. and then he layed them out clearly. and true and easy to follow

he not only can, must but did attack bush on the one of many subjects bush is truly vulnerable in

you dont think public schools are important to the undecided?
