President Bush, speaking from the White House, as president, using goverment money, today took a swipe at John Kerry's position on national defense.

The guy who got us into a war by mistake attacks the guy who actually went out and fought one, and what's more, the guy who got us into a war by mistake uses his government position as a pulpit.

Gotta love it, absolutely NOTHING is sacred here, from using government coercion to hold protesters against their will and illegally interfere with their political speech, to using the morning White House briefing for a dodger to slam a war hero.

What's amazing to me is that people aren't calling him on this. It shows just how well the big lie tactics of the Republicans work.

After all, it's the little guy whose job they outsourced, whose dinner they lost, and whose rented house they made more expensive by denying the small-time landlord a tax break while giving the big-time stock speculator a huge one, who is voting for them.

You have to give the present Republiguns credit for being good liars, at least.
 
And the repubes have always been good at managing their voter base. They lure poorer people
who don't get the tax breaks with social issues (gays trying to destroy our America)
and then give the tax breaks to others. Keep em scared of boogymen to keep them from noticing the economic policies are doing them no good.

Actually it probably has to do with the fact that most of those people don’t look to the government to solve their problems, if they did, they would be voting "democrat".

Is Kerry still a Senator? Getting paid for it, is he? Thought so.

I don't see him standing at the podium on the Senate floor, speaking to his campaign.

Surely you must see the difference?

How about jetting around the country on our tax dollars to speaking engagements that, time after time, just "happened" to coincide with the Democratic primaries?

They have no shame at all.

Who's paying for it? You mean the Shrub or Kerry? Hard to know quite where you're headed there.

If it's the Shrub, that had better count under his campaign limits.

Oh, sorry. The Shrub.

Oh, no, it won't. He claims that it's just coincidence. I wonder if he'll apply for the JREF prize.

He belongs on the Senate floor!

No, I do not see a difference. He is being paid to be in the Senate and casting votes. Instead, he is campaigning, slamming Bush, while getting paid for not doing his job.

No difference.
 
Hey, here's Kerry using his official government web site to slam Bush!

Kerry Calls on Bush Administration to Plan for Returning Troops and Protect Veterans’ Health Care


“It is my hope Secretary Rumsfeld will immediately address the back-log in our Army medical system” says Kerry

Friday, January 23, 2004

Washington D.C – Senator John F. Kerry today called on the Bush Administration to explain how they plan to provide quality health care to the thousands of troops returning from overseas duty without further stressing an overburdened Veterans health care system.

“I am outraged by the fact that soldiers are being forced to wait in substandard housing to receive medical care,” Senator Kerry said. “We must provide adequate medical care for those who put their life on the line for America. I am disappointed that the administration has not acted sooner in alleviating the health care crisis facing our veterans and better planned for our returning troops. It is my hope that this administration will immediately address the back-log and keep faith with those who keep our country safe.”

"No difference"?

So, the president can campaign, but Kerry can't?

Or nobody can campaign?

Quite aside from that, what's the point about any democrat being in the Senate to vote? The coerced party-line voting implimented by the repubiguns makes them all irrelevant anyhow. The willingness of the shrub to bypass the judicial appointments process (yes, it is (*&(*ed up indeed) to put friendly judges in places where there can be election disputes is ok by you?

So, a veteran pointing out that veterans get the short end from the VA and a dodger is somehow wrong?

I used to live near a residence VA hospital. The staff cared, really, but the place was appalling, the buildings appalling, and people who qualified to use the hospital were scared s**tless of it.

But it's wrong to point that out? After the way that the VA treated 'nam vets? Come on, Luke!
Really?

The name of this topic is "Bush Campaign Launched - Bush uses Government Position to slam Kerry." Now that I have not only established that Kerry does the same thing, but started doing it first, you have retreated to just another rabid rant.

So what's new here?
 
How many weeks are left until this election?

You have established nothing, and your opinion is thereby shown to be not only biased, but biased and based on false logic.

Kerry didn't show up for his vote. It doesn't matter and we both know it.

Bush used his governing powers to run his campaign.

Kerry used his own web site.

Bush used AF 1 to campaign.

Kerry paid for his own.

Do you REALLY see no difference between sapping everything one can from their office and not doing so?

Do you REALLY think the "free speech zones" are anything but a deliberate use of government weapons and agents to create a false impression AS PART OF A CAMPAIGN?

Bush has used AF1, the Secret Service, his office, his press officers, and you compare that to Kerry not showing up for a vote where he know's he's outvoted, and Kerry using his web site to point out the abuse of Veterans via the VA.

Do you really think they are the same? Really? If you do, my opinion of you just went right in the toidy.
