doesn't have a record to run on
Later, Kerry said in a press conference (if you want to call it that) infront of a bunch of Democrat Senators, "I have no intention whatsoever to apologize for my remarks. I think the Republicans need to start talking about the real issues before the country." Later Kerry said that the Bush-Cheney campaign was going to run ads that had nothing to do with healthcare, jobs, the economy, or making America safer. He said that "They can't talk about those things because George Bush doesn't have a record to run on. They have a record to run from!"
Typical coming from this low-life billionaire who, if elected President, would be the third richest President in our nation's history (according to www.forbes.com). It may be noted that George Bush himself has, as of this writing, never made any insults towards John Kerry, and has congragulated him on winning the primaries.
Quite frankly, George Bush has a record to run on. An excellent record at that. He has taken us from a recession inherited by the former Clinton Administration, and has made the economy the best it has been in 20 years (thanks to the Bush tax-cuts, said Alan Greenspan), this after the worst attack on United States soil in the history of our nation. The same could not be said for John Kerry, who voted for the highest tax increase in American history under former President Bill Clinton, who has voted against a balanced budget amendment at least five times, who voted against President Bush's tax cuts (making it the tenth (at least) key anti-tax relief vote of his senate career), who has a lifetime rating of 26% from Citizens Against Government Waste, AND who voted at least five times to raid the Social Security Trust Fund. Whew, Mr. Kerry, that's quite a record you have there. But that's not all.
George Bush, shortly after September 11th, 2001, sent troops to Afghanistan, removed an evil regime from power that was the provider of the major headquarters for Al-Qaeda (and home of its' leader, Osama bin Laden), a large number of leading Al-Qaeda officials have been captured and are being question, Osama bin Laden himself is on the run, and he has removed from power the biggest threat of the world for more than a decade, a horrible and evil regime, Saddam Hussein. The President's war on terror still continues today. Let's take a look at Kerry's defense record. He voted against the 1991 Persian Gulf War, deciding that keeping Saddam Hussein in Kuwait was a good idea. He voted against stopping missile defense spending cuts, voted to transfer $3.1 billion from defense spending to 'domestic programs' in 1991, voted to cut the funding of the FBI by 60%, voted to cut the funding of the CIA by 80%, and he has voted to cut the funding for the NSA by 80%. In addition to this, he has voted to remove the following: the Bradley Fighting Vehicle, the M-1 Abrams Tank, every aircraft carrier since 1988, the Aegis anti aircraft system, the F-15 strike eagle, the Block 60 F-16, the P-3 Orion upgrade, the B-1, the B-2, the Patriot anti Missile system, the FA-18, and the F117. Kerry has voted at least on seven major reductions in Defense and Military spending, one of them being on September 25, 2001. All of this coming from the man who said he would not attack President Bush during wartime, saying, "It's what you owe the troops... If America is at war, I won't speak a word without measuring how it'll sound to the guys doing the fighting when they're listening to their radios in the desert." Then less than a month later, when U.S. troops were within 25 miles of Baghdad, Kerry said, "What we need now is not just a regime change in Saddam Hussein and Iraq, but we need a regime change in the United States."
Conveniently though, John Kerry has made no remarks concerning his own record. He has flip-flopped on so many issues, it is hard to determine what his 'record' actually is.
It would seem that Mr. Kerry has things confused. It's he who is the one running from his record. It seems poor Mr. Kerry just doesn't understand how George Bush could be such a great President, and how Kerry himself could be so... in Kerry's own words, crooked.
