Bush Campaign Email: So Much To Discover (about Kerry)
Here's the lastest from the CREEP folks, via direct fundraising email. Interesting insight into what to expect, as well as an illuminating in that they seem to have accepted John Kerry as their November foe:


You don't have to look far to discover how John Kerry's policies would hurt Ohio workers and put the brakes on our economic recovery.

Did you know Sen. Kerry's bill to increase CAFE standards to 36 mpg by 2015 would kill 100,000 jobs in the automotive industry, according to a study by Penn State University? And did you know that Kerry has called for reductions in 18 weapons systems, the same systems that are winning the War on Terror today, including the M1 Abrams Tank, maintained in Lima, OH?

Look beyond the rhetoric to discover the truth about John Kerry. His record of cutting defense spending, his calls to raise taxes, and his plans for increased regulations would cost Ohio workers jobs and turn America back to the tired, failed policies of the past.

1. Let's get to refuting this point by point and sending it back to them.
Better yet, run a newspaper ad.

2. FEAR FEAR!
Don't give us facts just scare us a lot so we can hide behind plastic flags and constitutional ammendments...

It sounds desperate....Bush isn't going to win new Hearts and Minds sounding so thoroughly defensive from the start.

3. Of course, that "drive train" that he was touting not long ago
would kill off all MPG standards, and, by his own logic, would kill off more jobs than bumping up the MPG a few gallons.

How about the fact that $8 billion (with a B) was spent on a helicopter that has just been shelved, after 20 years? How might that $8 billion have been spent on education?
