Bush Lays Claim to Edwards Country

RALEIGH, N.C. — Claiming the home state of the new Democratic vice presidential candidate as his own turf, President Bush on Wednesday brushed aside the political threat posed by Sen. John Edwards and asserted that he would again sweep the South because he shares the region's values (You know, you're against the tax cut. You voted against the partial birth abortion ban. You voted against parental notification . You're wrong on the flag. You're a liberal, and you're from Massachusetts).

Bush, abandoning the cordial tone he struck when Edwards was named to the Democratic ticket a day earlier, suggested the one-term North Carolina senator could not measure up to the stature of Vice President Dick Cheney.

Asked to compare Edwards with his own No. 2, Bush said: "Dick Cheney can be president." He then called for the next question, indicating that he considered his case closed.

Bush's pointed response highlighted a primary line of attack Republicans intend to use against Edwards: that he is too inexperienced to become commander in chief, if necessary.

But Sen. John F. Kerry had a quick retort for Bush's implicit criticism of Edwards. Referring to Cheney's image as one of the most powerful vice presidents in U.S. history, the Democratic presidential candidate told a rally in Dayton, Ohio, that Bush "was right that Dick Cheney was ready to take over on Day One, and he did, and he has been ever since, and that's what we've got to change."<snip>

2. Yeah

I don't know how much more negative the Bush Campaign can get, but I expect they will show us. I mean they have to, don't they? It's not like they have a lot of accomplishments that they can point to.

3. Edwards is more presidential than the President.

4. The only "value" that matters in winning the South is guns.

Guns, guns, guns, guns, and guns. Abortion and flag issues are almost secondary, of prime importance to a smaller group of voters. Kerry and Edawards can sweep the South if they could just get rid of the "gun-grabber" image.

The two of them need to get some shotguns and go skeet-shooting, preferably in the Florida panhandle, perhaps in North Carolina or West Virginia. Better yet, they need to blow the living shit out of some small, helpless woodland creature and put it on the dinner table, then stuff its head and hang it in the tour bus. The clips would be all over the TV for the rest of the campaign season. Fence-sitting rednecks would flocking to the Kerry/Edwards.

5. I like it !!!!! :-)

Perhaps a creature cook book for folks in the field including how to butcher!

Actually that last one is one that I am looking for as I can't find my old one!
