Great Day in the Mornin'...Edwards lays the STOMP.
Edwards Statement on Bush Administration's Political Activity

Muscatine, Iowa - Today, Senator John Edwards issued the following statement about
all of the Bush Administration's political activity this campaign season:

"There's a problem when our troops are in harm's way, fighting for a secure Iraq and
our national security adviser is out on the stump campaigning instead of working.

"There's a problem when the Vice President is warning of a nuclear attack and the
Homeland Security Secretary who has declared that he is separate from politics
spends the bulk of his time traveling battleground states.

"There's a problem when there is a flu shot shortage and the Secretary of Health and
Human Services is too busy advocating for George Bush instead of those who most need
these shots.

"There's a problem when the economy has lost 800,000 jobs and the Treasury Secretary
is out on the stump calling these losses a myth instead of focusing on bringing them
back.

"There's a problem when the Chinese are playing fast and loose with our trade
agreements and the Commerce Secretary is acting like it's having no impact on our
manufacturing companies here at home.

"But I know how to fix this problem - it's called Election Day. On November 2,
we're going to cast the votes to put John Kerry into the White House and we're going
to nip this problem in the bud."

10. That would make a VERY effective ad!
Show each office empty as they state each problem. Good call!

Thanks for posting Will.

6. Straightforward and simple - all murricans can understand these shots.
Sounds like Kerry/Edwards are finally learning about sound bite politics.

16. BaddaBing! There's a problem when we don't have credible elections
in the united state under the Bush regime and we want to push democracy down other countries throats.

There's a problem when Bush wants the Bible to replace the Bill of Rights!

17. They are setting up the Iowa city rally right outside my window
If you haven't seen Edwards in action you have to. This is the mode he has been in for the last 2 months, attack! He is a straight talker no BS. 8 years for Kerry! 8 years for Edwards! 8 years for Obama! and we might get this country turned around.
