For those of us who get tongue-tied while trying to explain the issues to potential Kerry voters, the indispensable
Liberal Oasis provides us with this handy document,
"Suggested Answers For Tough Questions About John Kerry".
As he points out,
The purpose of this unofficial document is to help independent grassroots volunteers, who are engaging undecided voters, disseminate info that can counter the lies and distortions.
Kerry and his top surrogates don't have the luxury to knock down every lie and distortion point-by-point.
They need to push back of course, but getting too much into the details takes the focus off Bush and puts Kerry on the defensive.
In turn, the lies linger.
But counterspinning on the ground is a great way to complement Kerry's aggresive campaign in the air.
Furthermore, if you're out engaging voters, and you're not prepared for the tough questions, you're not going to be as helpful as you can be.
This is an excellent piece of work, and something I know I will be able to make good use of. Now, get out there and
talk!
