Here's my offer ...

Watch the debates. For every time Kerry says, "I'm not Bush" or for every time he says that he is more qualified to be President because of his Vietnam service, I will personally send you $100.00.

Since that seems to be all you think Kerry has to say, then you should be comfortable accepting the challenge.

Now ... what if he doesn't say anything of the sort in the debates? Easy: You must vote a straight Democratic ticket on November 2nd. That means you check the box at the top of the ballot that says your vote goes to every candidate - Federal, State, and Local - that has run under the Democratic banner.

The rules:

1] You must be of legal voting age.
2] You must be a citizen of the United States.
3] You must be registered to vote.

What I'll need as proof: Your voter registration number and state of registration. Using this, I can look up your public domain voting records and see that you are, in fact, of legal age and registered. I cannot see how you vote, but I will know that you can.

So ... anyone wanna take me up on it? Just how confident are you that "I'm not Bush" and "I won three Purple Hearts" are Kerry's only platform?

Put your vote where your mouth is.

This offer becomes null and void the minute the debates begin, 8:00 pm CST, Thursday September 30th.

dude, i will totally take that bet. of course, i'm planning to vote for Kerry anyway, so i wouldn't really be risking anything...if he happens to use one of those lines then i get $100.00, and if not i have to vote for the people i would have voted for anyway. you might want to add a rule to exclude opportunistic bastards like myself :P.

The challenge is to the anti-Kerry squad (most notably the pro-Bush squad), which does not apply to you.

the anti-Kerry squad is more of a "more talk, less do" type of belief, I think. I doubt that you will get many responses from them, because they realize that he doesn't say that.
Although "I'm not Bush" seems like it would be a good platform...

The "You must vote a straight Democratic ticket on November 2nd." is my only problem here. I honestly think straight ticket voting is for people who are too ignorant or too lazy to actually learn about the canidates. I consider myself a Moderate Republican and think it would be the height of stupidity to vote straight ticket Republican, or any party for that matter.

Well that's the point, isn't it? Plenty of people here are ignorantly screaming about how Kerry's whole platform is "I'm not Bush" and "I won three Purple Hearts", so I think it's a fair trade. I shell out $100 a pop or the ignorant Republicon is forced to benefit our side with an equally ignorant vote.

Frankly I'm surprised nobody has made any serious moves to take me up on this.

It's money, folks. I'm no kid, ya know. No teenager living off mommy and daddy's money. I have my own money and enough to go around.

Maybe the problem is that all these screaming neocons know they're wrong.

Hrmmm ... oh well ... ya have until 8 o'clock tomorrow.

Unfortunately the rules of your contest to not allpy the democratic voter registration drive.,

They are somewhat famous for regestering

Sorry. Just couldn't resist.

Hey, I'd take you up on it if I were a year older, as I'm currently 17 and uneligable to vote. But I live in Indiana, a state conservative enough that I honestly don't think that one more liberal vote will make a difference. Of course, in most respects I agree with Kerry, but I dislike liberals more than conservatives (I'm tired of hearing that Bush stole the election, there is something called an electoral college that is a little bit important), so even if that vote did make a difference, It wouldn't affect me that much.
