Why release that tape, who cares.
Why is it ok for Dickhead Cheney to make foul remarks But when we say we cant stand Bush, it is wrong?

Perhaps it would help Kerry to release the tape.

When people see Chevy Chase's segment, it should open a few eyes.
"It's good for politicians to have a hobby. Bill Clinton plays the sax, John Kerry plays guitar, and President Bush is a liar."

9. Is this really an issue? |
|
Is cable news talking about this and treating it as a major call-in-the-talking-heads kind of controversy, or are they treating it as an odd sidebar to the big election story?

18. Is that because it's a slow newsday |

13. Letter to bushes campaign manger on this subject from Mary Beth Cahill |
|
Edited on Wed Jul-14-04 01:54 PM by bowens43
Yesterday, I received a letter from Bush Cheney f04 Campaign Manager Ken Mehlman asking our campaign for a tape of a recent fund-raising event. Today, I sent the following reply:
July 13, 2004
Ken Mehlman Campaign Manager BUSH-CHENEY '04, Inc. P.O. BOX 10648 Arlington, VA 22210
Dear Ken:
Over the past several months, allies of the President have questioned John Kerrys patriotism while your staff has criticized his service in Vietnam. Republicans and their allies have gone so far as to launch attacks against his wife and your campaign has run $80 million in negative ads that have been called baseless, misleading and unfair by several independent observers.
Considering that the President has failed to even come close to keeping his promise to change the tone in Washington, we find your outrage over and paparazzi-like obsession with a fund-raising event to be misplaced. The fact is that the nation has a greater interest in seeing several documents made public relating to the Presidentfs performance in office and personal veracity that the White House has steadfastly refused to release. As such, we will not consider your request until the Bush campaign and White House make public the documents/materials listed below:
Military records: Any copies of the Presidentfs military records that would actually prove he fulfilled the terms of his military service. For that matter, it would be comforting to the American people if the campaign or the White House could produce more than just a single person to verify that the President was in Alabama when said he was there. Many Americans find it odd that only one person out of an entire squadron can recall seeing Mr. Bush.
Halliburton: All correspondence between the Defense Department and the White House regarding the no-bid contracts that have gone to the Vice-Presidentfs former company. Some material has already been made public. Why not take a campaign issue off the table by making all of these materials public so the voters can see how Halliburton has benefited from Mr. Cheney serving as Vice-President?
The Cheney Energy Task Force: For an Administration that claims to hate lawsuits, itfs ironic that the Bush White House is taking up the Courtsf time to keep the fact that Ken Lay and Enron wrote its energy policy in secret behind closed doors. Please release the documents so that the country can learn what lobbyists and special interests wrote the White House energy policy.
Medicare Bill: Please release all White House correspondence between the pharmaceutical industry and the Administration regarding the Medicare Bill, which gave billions to some of the Presidentfs biggest donors. In addition, please provide all written materials that directed the Medicare actuary to withhold information from Congress about the actual cost of the bill.
Prison Abuse Documents: A few weeks ago, the White House released a selected number of documents regarding the White Housefs involvement in laying the legal foundation for the interrogation methods that were used in Iraq. Please release the remaining documents.
We also wanted to wish you a happy anniversary. As we are sure you and the attorneys representing the President, Vice-President and other White House officials are aware, today marks one year since Administration sources leaked the identity of a covert CIA agent to Bob Novak in an effort to retaliate against a critic of the Administration.
In light of the fact that the Administration began gutting the laws protecting the nationfs forests yesterday, we hope you will accept the paper on which this letter is written as an anniversary gift. (The one year anniversary is known as the paper anniversary.)
Sincerely,
Mary Beth Cahill
Campaign Manager
This from www.johnkerry.com
Hope it was ok to post the letter in it's entirety.

15. I answered and then sent them this: |
|
PLEASE HAVE ANOTHER POLL THAT ADDRESSES THIS (from your "related" story link): In response, Cahill fired off her own letter to Mehlman, saying the Kerry campaign would not release the footage unless the Bush campaign released a raft of documents "relating to Bush's performance in office."
The documents include Bush's military records from his service in the Texas Air National Guard; correspondence between the Defense Department and Halliburton about no-bid contracts for Iraqi reconstruction; records of Vice President Dick Cheney's energy task force; correspondence between the Bush administration and the pharmaceutical industry about the Medicare drug bill, and documents about prison abuse in Iraq.
"Considering that the president has failed to even come close to keeping his promise to change the tone in Washington, we find your outrage over, and paparazzi-like obsession with, a fund-raising event to be misplaced," she wrote.
I want to see these two polls (the one you had) and one including Ms. Cahill's letter. I WANT TO SEE BUSH's secret government papers. IT IS OUR COUNTRY, not Bush's country.

It's a free country. We're free to speak our mind. They're trying to depict this as a "hatefest". I think they'd be on the losing end if the tape does come out because there'd be a lot of people saying, "Amen".

20. No, Kerry shouldn't release the tape. |
|
CNN should do some work for once and find their own copy of the tape. Then they should air it in primetime every night from now till Nov. 2.
