President Bush "may skip one of the three debates that have been proposed by the Commission on Presidential Debates and accepted by Sen. John F. Kerry (D-MA)," the Washington Post reports.
"The officials said Bush's negotiating team plans to resist the middle debate, which was to be Oct. 8 in a town meeting format in the crucial state of Missouri. [snip]The audience for the second debate, to be at Washington University in St. Louis, was to be picked by the Gallup Organization. The commission said participants should be undecided voters from the St. Louis area.
A presidential adviser said campaign officials were concerned that people could pose as undecided when they actually are partisans.
"It's not a fear of the format," said the adviser, who refused to be identified to avoid annoying Bush."
Big Dog's advice to John Kerry: Call a coward a coward until he's willing to meet you on open ground. Call the Cowards bluff and attack, attack, attack on the issues of courage of leadership and the moral courage to face critics in public! This man has demonstrated his moral cowardice by refusing to own up to the middle 20 years of his life.
John Kerry ought to start using this line of thought:
This elite, pampered prodigy of a man claims to be Texan. He even has a 'swagger'. He fails on a couple tests as one Westerner,myself, knows for sure:
A. No self-respecting Texan would ever be a gawdamn male CHEERLEADER at Yale! Jesus...a Texan, a Westerner, a Cowboy would die on an ant hill first! A gawdamn CHEERLEADER? Not hardly, pilgrim.
B. No self-respecting Texan,Westerner or Cowboy faced with an open challenge that measures your manhood, like a Town Hall debate or questions that aren't programmed and might be embarassing, would ever back down an inch. Not one damn inch. This is the state where 138 brave men died fighting an Santa Ana's Army of 5,500 because it was the right thing to do. How the hell does W think THOSE men feel about him calling himself a Texan when he can't even face a question much less real conflict? They must be spinning in their mass grave! George W. Bush is no Texan!
Embarass him, Senator! Embarass him to the point he reacts and shows that snotty, smirky self that comes through on camera so well. Embarass him to the point that he agrees to the debate! Make his cowardice the news story of the day, of the week...and don't stop until he's squarely in your sights, Senator!
It's one thing to be a championship screwup for a few years. There's more than one man on this earth that has done that then gone on to be a truly productive honest person. But to deny the facts of the matter demostrates personal cowardice and the fact that you learned nothing from the process.
Someone who reads this knows someone, who knows someone, who knows someone who can get this message into the communication professionals at KE04. Please do so! Please!
Skip a townhall debate...give me a break! It's cowardly..and there is no worse thing you can call a Texan, Westerner or Cowboy. I oughta know.
