Kerry: Bush Won't Own Up to Bad Decisions
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=514&e=1&u=/ap/20041026/ap_on_el_pr/campaign_rdp

"Mr. President, what else are you being silent about? What else are you keeping from the American people?" Kerry said in remarks prepared for delivery in Green Bay.

The Republicans, meanwhile, said it was a sign of Kerry dullness that the Democrats are calling on former President Clinton, who rallied voters for Kerry on Monday after being sidelined for weeks by heart surgery.

-snip-

"When the president is faced with the consequences of his own bad decisions, he doesn't confront them, he tries to hide them," Kerry said. "The truth is, President Bush isn't leveling with the American people about why we went to war, how the war is going, or what he is doing to put Iraq on track."

And Kerry broadened the attack to declare, "Just as he has been warned about his mistakes in Iraq, George Bush has been warned time and time again about the vulnerability of our homeland security."

-snip-

Karl Rove, Bush's chief political adviser, spoke dismissively of Clinton's scene-stealing pairing with Kerry. Seven weeks after quadruple bypass heart surgery, Clinton joined Kerry at a Philadelphia rally that packed cheering supporters shoulder-to-shoulder along three city blocks.

"They had to roll Clinton out of the operating room and onto the campaign trail in order to basically help Kerry with the weaknesses he has among core Democratic constituencies," Rove said, taking liberties with his depiction of the former president as a near-invalid.

Karl Rove is such a vile pig!!! :grr: :grr: Glad to see Kerry is keeping up the pressure, GO KERRY GO!!!!

Hey, it beats channeling Ronny Reagan, or that other asshole Hitler.

6. Bushieboy really hates the truth when it is about him.
He really needs to give up his political career and go back to Texas, drink his sponge brain to death and leave the rest of us alone.

10. In some respects….I’m not sure if Bushco has made any mistakes….
For the last four years, everything has been going just as they have planned it….it certainly isn’t their “best case scenario”, but as bad as Iraq is, their propaganda machine has this race closer than it really should be. I don’t think these people really thought it would be a cakewalk to transform America like they’ve set out to do and the fact that this moron has a chance to win says something about the ominous power of the media when controlled by a few……Coupled with the fact that a vast number of Americans have an unhealthy appetite for snake oil in its numerous transformations….

13. The RW will never admit that they are wrong or responsible for anything.
This includes their media pundits caught in immoral and illegal actions, their politicians caught in lies and distortions, and their leaders who make bad decisions and compound them by making additional bad decisions and covering up for their mistakes.
