Anytime Bush screws up, he can just cover his ass by portraying Kerry as weak on defence. At least Kerry has a plan to with domestic issues that are important like: jobs, healthcare, the enviroment, etc Gee and I thought that too many people are getting sucked into Kerry's fear mongering and smear tactict. Everytime a weakness of Kerry's is pointed out, Democrats just revert to their usual fear and smear tacticts. I don't think most Americans are going to be guilable enough for Kerry's so called plan and see it for what it is, an attemp to buy the election with a lot of pork-barrel promises.

Funny thing is that I could say the exact samething for Bush and the Republicans. At least Kerry is taking about issues such as: getting rid of deficit, creating more jobs, and the enviroment.

Getting rid of the deficit by adding another 2 trillion plus in spending?
Creating more jobs by raising taxes?
Haven't heard much about his so-called enviroment plan.

Did you know that the Republicans spend 75% of their advertisments on vicious attack adds (far more than the Democrats).

Don't know where you got that figure from but from what I have seen and heard Kerry is just as negative in his attacks if not more so. Pretty much every time I see an ad for Kerry it is not focusing on his strong points but instead it takes cheap shots at Bush. The same goes for all the news clips; instead of making a case for why he should be president he takes petty jabs at Bush.

Kerry was not made the Democratic nominee because of anything he stood for, he was made the nominee because Democrats thought he had a good chance of beating president Bush. Even before the Democrats started their process to nominate a candidate, very negative and petty ads were being produced and distributed by Democratic supporters.

You might see the Republican messages as negative but don't pretend the Democratic message is anything better.

I don't think most Americans will guilable enough to get Bush relected just because of his attempts to make Kerry look weak on defense , when Bush was no economic plan or getting troops out of Iraq.

Kerry's voting record on military issues make him look weak on defence.

To say Bush has no economic plan is inaccurate. You may or may not agree with his plan but it is there.

With reguard to Iraq, once again you may not like his plan for Iraq but to dismiss his reasoning altogether is incorrect.
