Things I wish Kerry would have said
Edited on Thu Sep-30-04 10:30 PM by xray s
This isn't meant to be a criticism, but I wanted Kerry to mention;

Allawi's speech to congress was written by the Bush campaign.

The number of trained Iraqi military is 50,000, not 100,000, proving Bush doesn't know whats going on in Iraq.

We didn't have to go to war to disarm Saddam because he didn't have any WMD.

Bush threatened to veto the $87 billion bill to supply our troops the equipment they need because he didn't want to raise taxes on rich people or open the contracts to bids.

Overall I think our guy did a great job and I hope the points I mentioned above come out in the rest of the campaign.

:thumbsup:

Add anything else you think he missed...

1. Roll back the wealthy tax cuts for America
I wanted to hear "You and I will pay to keep America safer". He did mention rolling back the wealthy tax cuts, which would effect himself and Bush, but it would have sounded great when Bush said "How's he going to pay for it" If he'd said "YOU'RE going to pay for America"

he would never, never, NEVER put our troops in harm's way and then taunt the enemy to come and get 'em. :puke:

3. Listen, he doesn't want to shoot his wad on the first debate. He's
building to a crescendo!
