Rovian Boomerang Bush Attacks...
Along the same lines of an earlier post about Rove's success at rendering a candidates supposed strengths into weaknesses, the Dems need to start utilizing this tactic more effectively.

Take Bush's perceived strength of taking responsibility. This man takes responsibility for nothing. Not one person has been fired for 9/11 - not one. No one has been fired for the failures in Iraq. There have been people let go for telling the truth about things, but none for incompetence. Bush's tactic is to blame everyone else and then claim responsibility.

Then we have Bush's truthfulness. Too many people believe he is an honest man (where is Lieberman coming out and calling him a liar?). We have video of him lying again and again.

Now we are seeing his hypocrisy - imagine, Bush using the tactic of saying Kerry is using fear to make points with the American people (over the flu vaccine issue). My God, is there not one responsible critic anywhere that cares to point out that Bush has been using fear for over three years?

1. it goes the other way, as well. Rove takes bush's weaknesses and
faults and projects them onto Kerry. Just this morning I heard bush saying Kerry is using fear and scaring voters. Ha! What has bush and his terra alert color code been doing?

Also, on AAR this morning, a guest said each time the color code alert was raised a notch bush's favorability rating went up a couple of percentage points. He (last name was Green?) said to look for this as part of their Oct Surprise package - raising the terra status to inflate his percentiles.

2. * has said that

Kerry is using fear of the draft recently as well.

I am truly amazed by *'s ability to project all his demons onto others. As a counselor, I am just continually baffled by the fact that everyone doesn't see right through his lame assed shit.

3. To me
the one where * says Kerry would wait until terrorists attack before doing anything is the most preposterous - what was * doing before 9-11? And has he really done anything to stop terrorism since that awful day?
