Atttacking Bush's perceived strenght - he sticks to what he
believes in.

On Friday on "The Majority Report" radio show, Bill Sher of liberaloasis.com said Kerry should release a Bush flip-flop ad each week.

I agree, and came up with these topics:

1) We can win the War on Terror, We can't win the War on Terror
2) Usama bin Laden is "Wanted Dead or Alive," UBL doesn't matter.
3) There are wmd in Iraq, There are no stockpiles of wmd in Iraq.

2. Kerry needs to do something. I agree, he needs to get tough and..
make some headline news. I think the two go hand in hand. Bush is all over the bloody news as the media totes his temporary lead in the polls.

There is an article in the NY Times about Kerry enlisting Clinton's help. Let us hope that Bill will set Kerry straight.

3. Don't attack his weaknesses, attack his strengths (at least to some
people they are considered strengths, maybe not here).

5. kerry/edwards need to do two simple things
get pissed and then talk like they are pissed to the american people.
even repukes KNOW the truth about bush co, they simply don't care -- and more they approve.
the rest of america needs to FEEL the outrage -- before they get it.

6. Duh. You think??? That seems so obvious that I don't understand
why the Kerry campaign hasn't attacked him on that front. You have to access *'s "perceived" strengths and tear them down. The Kerry campaign has not been doing that.

7. Good idea for an ad by Moveon.org....use these flip flops without
using the word flip flop....reminds me of the ad they are running now with the job loss and the record going round in circles.

8. It will have to be 5 or 6 a week, just to keep up!
Bush's entire strategy consists of pretending he's in favor of something with a big smile, and then as soon as the cameras shut off, he sneaks into the chicken coop and starts stealing the eggs!

Nothing he says can be anything BUT a flip flop, because he lies CONSTANTLY!!!

9. He needs to bring a handheld audio device to the debates
"First, I'd like to briefly remind what my opponent's view on this issue was before he decided to abandon what he has told us are principles ... now, my view is this ..."

11. Steadfast??? His own people - I believe it
was Rice (also in Woodward's book) said bush only wants to hear one or two ideas about how to solve a problem - then he picks one and that's it so that is how he can say he is steadfast. He knows nothing more so he can say steadfast. Baloney.
