Why won't Kerry say it? Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld are WAR PROFITEERS!
Edited on Tue Oct-19-04 01:26 PM by ElementaryPenguin
Plain and simple! This damning fact is fact is as easy to prove as it is to explain! The Kerry camp needs to brand Bushler and his shameless gang with this label IMMEDIATELY!! It's also got excellent sound bite potential. War Criminals - large segments of the public may shudder at that accusation - but War Profiteers (though nearly as despicable) - that's not a hard sell.

3. WAR CRIMINALS!
"To initiate a war of aggression...is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of whole."

5. Lose with honor.
Seems to be the new Dem creed. But we CANNOT afford to lose this fight - the stakes couldn't possibly be higher!

8. I think one main reason is many Democrats are involved right up
to their armpits. Remember it wasn't all republicans who voted to give Bush* the authority nor is it only Republicans who are profiting from this misadventure. Democrats are deeply invloved as well. Nader was not completely wrong. He may have been between Bush* and Gore but not about the parties in general. The biggest fish caught in the BCCI scandal was a Democrat.

9. All Bushco has to do is publicize Dems holdings in defense companies
Prominent Dems have holdings in their investment portfolios with defense companies such as Lockhead Martin. Even though these might be blind trusts- inactive holdings that they can't trade until they leave office, it would still be used against them if they take on the Bush bunch too aggressively on this issue.
