Bush Ruthlessly Exploits Kerry's Wife For Political Purpose!
"The last debate, my opponent said his wife was involved with those programs. That's great. I appreciate that very much. All of us ought to be involved with programs that provide a viable alternative to abortion."

This is a gross, blatant and very awful attempt to exploit
Teresa Heinz Kerry to make a politiocal point about abortion.
It is sickening and terrible and all I can say is Bush is a
bad man and I'm sure the media will be all over it soon like black
on rice.

Nowhere, that's where.

3. That's because it's never bad when Republicans do it
Only Democrats.

They don't have to bleed at all, we can't bleed enough.

They don't have to prove their morality or honesty, we can't prove ours enough.

Bah.

5. OK, at the risk of being flamed again, I ask
what is the matter with what Bush said? What am I missing here?

I am pro-choice but I also support providing reasonable, non-coercive options other than abortion. Apparently Mrs. Kerry does too. If I am pro-choice should I oppose adoption because it may, in some cases, be an option a woman would take? Sorry, I don't get this and I would like to be enlightened without being trashed.

6. Hmm, I never thought of it like that before.
But no, on second thought (actually, third thought),
I am going to stick with being outraged, respectfully.

8. There's nothing the matter with it
People on the left just freak over things like "the mary Cheney thing" and the far right knows it. They're using our own sensitivities against us.

I swear, people who can't see that must be blinder than bats.

14. Well, I hope that I would not joke about something like what
the President said about Kerry's wife doing something that the
President bent around into being sort of against abortion
indirectly or for it as different alternatives to it. I could
see how it's getting kind of complicated but I doubt that I would
of for a political purposes.

15. Has Bush or Cheney ever mentioned that Mrs Edwards is obese?
If they have, they are both "bad" men.
