Kerry's Problem in the Debates

Written by Art Green

When you look past the perspiration problem, you should be able to see that Kerry faces an array of problems far more troublesome than how much he sweats.

First off, in the foreign policy debate Senator Kerry cannot hold any credibility with the American people if he talks about strengthing our national defense. If you are frequent reader here, you will probably know what is coming.

Senator Kerry's voting record simply does not vouch for his campaign promises. He has consistently voting against the very weapon systems that we know use in Iraq. (Apache, B-1 Bomber, B-2 Bomber, Trident Submarine, Patriot Missile, MX Missile, the list could go on forever.) He voted to cut intelligence spending by six billion.

Even more damning is the fact that any position on Iraq he takes in the debate is going to be contradicting his previous statements before and during the Presidential campaign. I expect the President to exploit that. I can just see Kerry slamming the President Bush on the decision to go to war, only for the President to pull up some "interesting" quotes.

Secondly, Kerry has two types of supporters. You have the pacifist, "Anyone but Bush", looney-left supporters. Then you have the people that have some fair reservations about Bush. If Kerry puts on the "anti-war" face, the face that he had for a couple of weeks, he alienates the moderates. If he goes moderate, he alienates the loons, sending them to Kerry.

Bush does not have that problem. We are united and we love our President. The President who will lead this country for four more years.
