It's time for Kerry to attack Bush's 280 vacation day's
Kerry needs to bash Bush over all of his vacation time and promise to spend more time working for the people. This is something people will get. These ads about votes Kerry missed is another waist of the Bush's ad money. Most people don't even get what the ad is talking about. But after seeing the latest Zogby numbers Kerry 5-=43) I can understand Bush's sudden desperation.

1. The Dems should compare bush's august vacation days
as president vs as a candidate. He is spending much more time "working" to keep his job in 2004, than he did "working" to keep us safe in 2001. Let the people know.

4. GREAT point!!
Didn't Roberts yesterday on MTP kind of insinuate that the private records would counter Bush's claim?? Edwards I thought has asked for those records to be made public... Think Kerry is just waiting for the debates to debunk all this crap in front of Bush?? Could be fun...

6. well I think he doesn't want them out there
becasue he, himself probably missed just as many...so its really a moot point...but they will distort it...if the records are released..then of course...it woudl backfire...they are really grasping...hoping that something sticks...we just have to let everyone know...

my husband even said "wonder why he doesn't want the records released or won't say one way or another" and he doesn't like either candidate...

7. Ask your Husband why John Edwards is calling for records to be released
Remind your husband that the Bush campaign has a history of telling HALF_Truths about John Kerry. . .They take something insignificant and blow it all out of proportion.

Then Ask Him Why John Edwards is calling for the attendance records of private meetings to be released. Would he be doing so if the records are going to damage Kerry? I don;t think so. . .what is in the records will be good for Kerry and reveal that Bush is lying again.

I have a feeling that the Bush's are telling half-truths again.

9. Oh I KNOW they are telling half truths...
I am not denying that for a minute..he usually is always playing "devils advocate" which ironically is in a literal way...
but he noticed that Sen Roberts was avoiding that question...and he found it odd..which is refreshing to me because he saw him squirming a bit...

2. That's a decent point...
he's seems to think he's getting mileage out of misrepresenting Kerry's abscense from congressional votes. OK, what about the 280 days of vacation time, Shrubby?

3. I'm All For Harping on *'s Vacation Time

5. Oh, You're just mad because you don't get that much vacation.
If you only worked harder then you would really get somewhere and you could take a decent amount of time off. The president spent all his life killing himself to get where he is and he deserves everything that his father gave him.

8. You Should Be Attack Bush in Your Local Newspapers

You need to get Kerry's message to the people by circumventing as much as possible the fascist news organizations.

Use this link, it's great. Be sure to include a tele number. If you click on "Remember Me" your personal info will be saved. You can submit letters about one every minute!

It couldn't be easier.

I suggest you target your local and county newspapers and TV stations. Good Luck.
