From Bush, Unprecedented Negativity

[Smash255]

Kerry is trying to introduce himself in his ads while Bush is trying to define Kerry early.  That is why Kerry's ads are mostly upbeat and Bush's are mostly negative.

What is unprecedent is that the opposition party sees the party in power as more of a threat than those who attacked us on 9/11.  

Umm it was Bush that took the war AWAY from those that attacked us to those that DID NOT.  It was Bush who befriends a terrorist nation like Saudi Arabia who according to the Hoint Intelligence Committee's report had highly involved indviduals in the Saudi Givt & Royal Family (information which Bush forced black outs on before it went public)

Come on.  You trying to say we any cozier with the Saudis than we were under Clinton.  I don't remember the Clinton administration doing a damned thing to get Saudi Arabia to do anything about their support for terrorists.  If they did, please refresh my memory.

Unlike Bush Clinton did not have a business relationship with the Saudi's in the 80's.  Unlike Bush, Clinton did not supress information about the Saudi's involvment in terrorist attacks on our own soil.

No, Clinton just did nothing for 8 years while terrorists declared war on America, bombed the WTC, blew up two U S embassies, ran thousands thru terrorist training camps unhindered, bombed the USS Cole - all with no significant response from his administration.

You really don't want to go there.

The same people that complain about Clinton doing nothing are the same people that complain about the bombings during Clinton's tenure as "Wag the Dog" to get away from the Lewinsky scandal??  So umm what is it???

Also Bush is keeping SECRET the information about thiose who attacked us, allying ourselves with that nation, while attacking a nation that had nothing to do with the attacks.  And wait its gets better lets nor forget how Saddam and Bin Laden as well as the Talliban bothcame to power and increased their power, and which influential American politican was involved in that (AHEM REAGAN)

Guess that depends on what part of the country you are from.  I have no doubt that is the prevailing view in Seattle.  Probably San Francisco, Boston and a lot of other liberal bastions.  Out here in "flyover country" it doesn't wash.

We will have to agree to disagree.

Wrong move?  Maybe.  I know Saddom and his two twisted sons would agree with you 110%

Yeaah & those actually involved in the 9/11 attacks such as those in the Saudi govt & Royal family are probably the happiest about it
