Bush website is all about Kerry
I hate to encourage anyone to visit this site, but you HAVE to see this:

http://www.georgebush.com/

The "Bush/Cheney '04" website's home page contains nary a picture of George W. Bush. There are, however, 4 images of Kerry, all designed to try to smear him with the wacky, waffler rep.

Meanwhile:

http://www.johnkerry.com/

The "John Kerry - President" website home page has 7 images of Kerry looking presidential, and not a single one of Bush.

8. Lots!
- Vacationed 42% of his pResidency
- Disregarded warnings of 9/11 (but did hit the Tri-fecta)
- Took a $400BB surplus and turned it into a $500BB deficit....in 3 years!
- Mistook Iraq as a haven for the 9/11 bombers, cost $200BB and 800+ American lives.
- Told a big whopper to get the war on (Iraq had WMD)
- Lost 3MM jobs in 3 years, without breaking a sweat.
- 1st President to have a CIA undercover agent outed by an employee of the WH.


I think he's accomplished quite a bit in just over 3 years. Imagine what he could do in another 4.....

3. perfect illustration of the developing zietgeist of this campaign
The Bushites acting like asses, going negative, making outrageous charges...

And Kerry, answering them and then moving on, not getting caught in their webs of distortion.

Beautiful, the Bushies are getting more and more desperate.

9. Don't Forget The Pickles Pic...
She's gonna win it all for him. Bunnypants knowns mama's gonna make it all right. LOL.

We're seeing quite a political lesson here...and a very good one, to boot. $75 plus million of negative ads vs. two weeks of positive Kerry messages and the results are about to kick in.

I was laughing at the Freeper posts about the latest polls and can't wait until the next round comes out. The Kerry positive ads are doing a great number on the non-stop negative Bunnypants ones. The lesson here is timing...Kerry's got it, Bunnypants doesn't.

Right now, the undecided voters are looking around and seeing a regime in disarray with a new scandal a week and stuck in so many lies, it's now shadow-boxing with tar babies. I love it! They have seen a month of "Kerry the waffler" while tihs regime twists all over the place about the Iraq invasion, rising gas prices and other major scandals. The question being asked now is "is Bunnypants worth 4 more years?" that's the only question. He's being judged now, not Kerry.

That's where the Kerry timing is going well. By laying back and letting this regime start twisting on all that rope it's left lying around, Kerry now has more than enough ammo to go through two elections or more. By taking their best shot and not flinching, he's showing he's not gonna take their bait and is rising above the "politics of personal destruction" games of the GOOP. Not only that, the media is now starting to grow a pair and expose how they're being manipulated.

For the undecideds Kerry is now being seen as the alternative to the chaos going on with this regime. No matter what he says, he will not be listened to until the convention (thus the good move to keep the media happy and bypass the 5 weeks of money...he may not need it). The more this regime now attacks Kerry, the greater the curiosity is to find out what's so bad about the guy. We sure could use that! Once moderates see it's safe to come over, then Kerry will be really heard.

I haven't felt this confident about things in a long time, and still maintain a high degree of caution. Things can change quickly and there's still a ton of work that has to be done. We've reached that first plateau...the first base camp...problem is we're not climbing Mt. Everest, we're going up that 100,000 footer on Mars.

Cheers!

11. When I was in college, the Chief Justice of the Oklahoma Supreme Court . .
. . . came and spoke to my class.

He said that when he started doing appellate work, he wrote briefs devoted to refuting and rebutting the arguments of his opponents, and quickly discovered that this tactic didn't work. He advised the future brief writer to concentrate on his own arguments in support of his case; not spend time attacking or trying to tear down the arguments of the other side.

I think there is a lesson here.

The Bush administration is in bad shape and cannot present their own positive arguments in support of their case for re-election. Their only choice is to tear down the other side.

Bush will lose the election.

12. But of course. Bush has no positive plans, just cheap shots for Kerry
but what do expect of a guy who couldn't keep his commitment to his armed service?
