Bush Campaign will attack Kerry hard now ... Get ready Kerry

[eyeswideopened]

The Bush campaign played hardball too hard with Dean and now they have a problem with Kerry getting too much popularity. They are worried about a decorated war hero so they will launch this next attack on a new front.

Get ready Kerry. Good Luck Dean !

1. I've noticed....

saw that bit with Ed Gillespie on CSPAM.

[asjr]

4. Ed makes me think

troll every time I see him. The Creepublicans had better watch their ammunition because I think any Dem can come right back at them. Let them use their "patriotism" and watch Kerry or any other throw it right back.

2. not yet after the loser has

locked it up.

[quaker bill]

3. Of course they will

They simply don't want any clear frontrunner to glide to an easy victory. They want us to battle this out for a while and spend lots of money in the process.

Count on Kerry taking some hits from the repugs.

[right is wrong]

5. Kerry is getting it from everywhere

7. Kerry'll Put It Away Feb.3 and then Beat Bush

[dolstein]

6. Not if they're smart

Sure, Bush would love to run against Dean. But since that isn't going to happen, Bush would clearly prefer to run against Kerry than against Edwards or Clark. If the GOP is smart, they'll hold their fire until after Kerry secures the nomination. Then things are going to get real ugly real fast.

[kentuck]

10. Yeah, they'll soften him up a little bit....

then once he secures the nomination, they'll hit him hard.

8. I'm scared, hold me!

Lock the doors, close the blinds...Bush is coming...

:wtf:

[quinnox]

9. As a Kerry guy my response is

not really.

[woofless]

11. Kerry will tower over W and duke it out.

He is in this to take the fight to Bushco. Pray for a debate or three between shrub and Kerry. All you folks that think JK will play it safe and waffle are just plain wrong. The dude is on fire and ready to roll. If he get's the nomination, (note that I do NOT say when) he will be rasdy and willing to take OUR side in this most important fight.

Woof

[frustrated_lefty]

12. Np they won't.

They're waiting til the nomination is locked. Then they unload. Then Kerry sinks, and several of us are going to be tempted to say "I told you so."

[DFLforever]

13. You got it lefty

[JI7]

15. but what do they have ?

the only thing i can see them doing is trying the massachusettes liberal thing which they are already doing. do you think they have some secrets or something ?

[radfringe]

14. GOP attacks are a sign of desperation

they can't attack him on his military service - not with all the AWOL info out about bush*

so they attack his voting record --- sounds like desperation to me

[dusty64]

16. And their

flying monkeys in the Pravda press will be right there with them. There is no doubt that whomever wins the nomination will face a shitstorm of lies, twisted truths, rumors, and slander unlike anything we've ever seen. They will refuse to question any of the REAL scandals, crimes, and extremism from our regime at the same time. I've been telling everyone I know who remains skeptical at my claims of the media being nothing more than a corporate propaganda machine to watch closely, the bias will be blatant and naked and worse than anything since the fall of the Soviet Union.

[gulliver]

17. Chirp, chirp. I doubt they will say anything frankly.

There probably won't be much of an attack on Kerry at all. Kerry is worse news for the GOP than Dean, but the last thing the GOP wants to do is help Clark.

[Lexingtonian]

18. yep

They'll be coming right after Super Tuesday.

They got so worried about New Hampshire, btw, the day after the primary that they didn't just send in Romney, Giuliani, and Pataki to talk some morale back into NH Republicans. Dubya himself flew in last night for one of their usual inane money-fetishizing get together thingamajigs.

I'd love to see the polling they did that prompted that. My guess: 35% solid Bush, 30% Kerry, 35% either one at this point (usually 2:1 or greater advantage to the challenger).

19. So what, BRING IT ON!!!!!!

Did you see that pathetic speech by the RNC head yesterday?

Quote: "Even though Senator Kerry has an HONORABLE military record, he's a liberal, and the record shows it."

Kerry almost burst out laughing when they asked him to comment on it. He was aggressive in his answer, and said that if caring about healthcare, social security, education, and our nations future made him a liberal then he's glad they're calling him that."

Then he said, BRING IT ON!

20. Bush has his own problems

Today there's a front page story in the Wall Street Journal about how unhappy the fiscal conservatives are in Congress given the real cost of the Medipork drug bill, and that the huge deficits are reducing the likelihood that Bush's tax cuts will be made permanent.

The story notes polls that say that the public no longer believes that the Repubs are the more fiscally responsible party.

21. Bring IT on!!!

:kick: We are ready!!!
