Poll question: Is Kerry playing "Rope-A-Dope" with Bush?

[RRG]

1. I think I know how to get the NRA to back Kerry

20 Kills and a hunter?

As a liberal gun owner and hunter I can easily back Kerry because I don't hunt with an AK47 and I patiently waited 5 days days for a handgun without a problem

5. If he is, it's a strategy we don't really see much these days.

And if it works, Kerry and his team are a bunch of geniuses.

4. If they

try saying anything else Kerry should just break out the "fuck you thanks for guarding bama while I took shrapnel on 3 seperate occasions in the Mekong Delta."

6. I heard Paul Begala say on "Morning Sedition" that Kerry is a fierce

campaigner. He then said this approach may stem from his military experience. Anyway, it is clear that Kerry's camp is playing to WIN, not lose. It's going to be a very clever but take no prisoners campaign. And it is exactly what we need.
:kick:

7. If we win we are pretty much guaranteed 8 years

think about it He can't screw up worse he creates 6-8 million jobs, re-secures foriegn relations, starts us towards energy independence. Unless he catches a BJ we're golden

[MoonRiver]

8. Plus, he can clean up the electoral process, and outlaw BBVs.

11. I voted 'yes', but really, it is only KIND of like the rope-a-dope...

Kerry is just sitting back, not wanting to detract from Clarke, the 911 Commission, Woodward, etc...why take attention away from the pounding Bush is taking from these and other sources?

Rope-a-dope requires you to take bruising punishment from the opponent in order to wear him out. Bush's flipflopper adds and all the other Bullshit they are spewing are'nt hurting Kerry much.

Kerry is just laying back until after the GOP convention, saving and raising money, waiting for Bush to finish the job of making a complete fool of himself.

Kerry is being very cagey...I like that. He is a pro.

[skooooo]

12. I agree...he knows how to come from behind...

...I'm hoping this is part of his grand scheme. This guy has been in a ton of political battles. I'm keepimg my fingers crossed.

13. Yes Crachet2004, You've called this one right!

Kerry is playing this campaign brilliant. With people like Clarke and Woodward out there now, John can concentrate on strategic push for the final four months of the campaign. He's a very smart man, surrounded by smart advisors. There is one goal in mind, and that is to defeat the imposter in the WH.
This was evident all through the dem campaign. There was more support than difference amoung this band of Democratic brothers.

They have continued to do their part for the common good and survival of this Nation.
