Dems Open Bar-No Repukes welcome

Was with a bit of amusement that I saw the Republicans in here has a thread that we are supposed to stay out of (see Republican Treehouse)....guess they feel a need to have secret meetings, and might even have a secret handshake to get through the door, so thought those of us on the side of reason and intellect should have our own little hide-away as it were. So, kick your shoes off, pour yourself a drink and lets discuss the issues.

I think about hte same thing.. There was this lady on this board Rayleen or something like that who use to say that Kerry is known for turning around the campaign in the last couple of months. She was from Massachusets(spell?)I also feel he may kept some of the plans under cover just to spring them at the last moments. I don't doubt a bit that if he said everything out earlier Bush and the gang will twist and turn each idea out and soak it in slime. I am keeping my fingers crossed hope that debates with lift Kerry up, up and land him in the white house.
Wish I had a specific link to send you to, but do not...good, bad or ugly, I watch far to much News, read far too much news on the Internet, and consume far too much News through the printed media with subscriptions to the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Time, Newsweek and USA Today just to name a few. My wife loves trivia, but I am not fond of the game so never play it, but drive her and her friends crazy because I will be walking by when they are stumped on some obsolete little known question and invaribly will rattle off the answer without a thought...I have way to much stuff inside my head here.
You are right in thinking Kerry's strongest point is also his weakest in this sound byte 30 seconds or less world we live in today. People are not going to take the time to dig for the truth, people are not going to take the time to understand the riddle which puts a man of nuance at a very distinct disadvantage....especially against someone like Bush who though is very low on substance, very adept at the 30 second sound bite canned deliveries that the masses seem to love, followed by that conspiratorial wink as if to suggest only him and the person hearing the message got it when it fact it was ever so transparent.

I have always said about Bush that his greatest strength (as perceived by many) is also his greatest weakness too. That is that he sticks to a stance come hell or high water. Some people call it perserverance or determination. However, it can also be stubborness and inflexibility because he obviously sticks to decisions regardles of whether they are right or wrong.
