Kerry can debate, but Bush is the one to
lead

Last Thursday, Sen. John Kerry proved to be the superior
debater, but President Bush did not set the bar very high. More
importantly, both have long histories of voting and leadership that
should be considered.

If you look at Kerry’s political record, he proves to be a
poor military leader. He has historically voted against major
weapons systems and protested the war in Vietnam.

Bush is notorious for his poor communication skills, but has
done well in international policy. He has a coalition of over 30
countries in Iraq, and his leadership has a better chance of
getting our troops home safely while accomplishing what they set
out to do than does Kerry’s.

What do we want more, a president that can lead or look good
failing?
