Bush Calls Kerry a Danger

Quote swiped from yahoo via www.45net.org:

CLIVE, Iowa (Reuters) - President Bush sought on Monday to regain momentum after John Kerry's jump in the polls, calling him a danger to world peace and shifting gears to drop a health policy speech and focus instead on the war on terror in which the president still holds a solid lead.

This is how bad the debate hurt bush. Think about this: the 'coup' bush supposedly got was that the 1st debate was about foreign policy and that would certainly center around iraq and the war on terror. The 1st debate also gets the best ratings. The hope was that bush would be able to hit it out of the park. This is exactly what he's been building up. Bush is strong on protecting the US and Kerry won't protect us. This is a delicate mantra. Bush wants you to be damn scared of the dangers out there and at the same time feel that he's keeping you safe...All at the same time.

The trouble comes when bush has to move out from the world of his commercials and his rallies filled with people forced to sign loyalty oaths. That's what the debate was.

bush thought his TV ads and stump speeches were a good enough for the policy questions coming his way. When laid next to an opponent with real answers he was stumped. He didn't care for how bad it made him look and he often found himself struggling to find something to say for the full 90 seconds. It was pathetic.

Bush now has to pick up the pieces. Normally he'd be building up to the next debate which centers more on domestic issues. As you can see above he had to drop that homeland stuff. Bush's ONE winning issue has been terrorism concerns. The debates kicked those numbers in the teeth and now we're seeing the utter desperation. bush has abandoned the old implied scare tactics of his campaign to actually claim that a Kerry presidency would enganger the world. you now...it doesn't really bother me now because its so obvious...so desperate...so craven....you can just smell it on him. this is the thrashing of a man defeated. dead.

i say give me more articles like this! i'd like to see him flail about on his way to the bottom.
