YORK, Pa. - President Bush (news - web sites) lashed out at Democratic rival John Kerry (news - web sites) on Friday, labeling him an indecisive, far-left liberal and said he was "out of step with the mainstream values that are so important to our country."

Bush leveled his charges on a Pennsylvania bus tour, answering a challenge from Kerry and his Democratic running mate, Sen. John Edwards (news - web sites), about the president's values and honesty concerning Iraq (news - web sites), mushrooming budget deficits and other issues.

A crowd of several thousand loudly booed Kerry's name, and cheered Bush with chants of "four more years." In a state that he lost four years ago but has visited 30 times as president, Bush said, "It's going to be a tough race."

"On issue after issue — from funding our troops who are on the battlefield ... to involving parents in important decisions of their minor daughters ... to supporting faith-based and community organizations that are helping those in need — the senator is out of step with the mainstream values that are so important to our country," Bush said.

1. Shaky ground on the "minor daughters"

His young ladies are barely voting age and they look like they have very different values than the far right lies about possessing.

2. Mainstream values of Bush?

I hope not but November will decide. November will decide if we continue to offer our soldiers as sacrifices to the war god mars. Does the country feel these deaths and the destruction of war is worth it-really worth it in the end? I heard the cheering crowds in PA and thought these people are willing to let their sons and daughters or spouses go off and die in a bogus meaningless war and the man they cheered for let poorer citizrns go in his place of risk and he will never send his precious girls to battle like other parents. November will decide if we live in multicolored alert patterns or whether we have the courage as a nation just to live our lives in freedom from fear like fdr asked us to do.
