The $87 bil vote "flip-flop" WHY NOT REBUKED??? |
|
I asked you guys to email the campaign about this (with little response). You said Kerry was "saving it for the last debate".
It INFURIATES me that he AGAIN missed a chance to get it out that THERE WERE TWO BILLS. He voted FOR the first one - which BUSH threatened to VETO, and voted AGAINST the second version because it was a deficit bomb.
Why is it up to US to get the truth of this out to family and friends. If he forcefully stated this, the talking head idiots on the news stations would have to address it.
Sometimes I wonder if this guy really wants to win.
:mad:

In both of the debates, he simply said that he had "spoken poorly" but that it wasn't aqs bad as misleading people on a war.
There IS a good explanation, but he has addressed it in a vague and muddled way.
It is the FOUNDATION of the repugs' claim that he is a "flip-flopper".
It's a non-issue only to informed voters, IE the activist left. What about the millions of morons who rely on "Good Morning America" and "Faux and Friends" for their news? Do you think they know about Bush's threatened veto?
I guess now, the only question is - how to get the info out to the uninformed middle, since every chance at every debate was missed.

5. THe $87 bil is just as much a domestic issue... |

...considering his "vote against it" was a protest about fiscal discipline.
