"In Texas at his ranch, Bush said, "I don't think we ought to have 527s," a reference to the outside groups that have poured millions of dollars over the past year into attack ads. Bush himself has been a main target of ads costing some $60 million."

Wow, poor defenseless DNC.

But it's still not good enough...

The democrats want CENSORSHIP!!!

Kerry's vice presidential running mate, Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina, said Bush's comments on Monday fell short of what was needed.
 
"The moment of truth came and went, and the president still couldn't bring himself to do the right thing," Edwards said. "Instead of hiding behind a front group, George Bush needs to take responsibility and demand that the ad come off the air."


Which amendment covers Freedom of Speech?

Guess they never taught that in Edwards' Law School.

"We have never, and will never question John Kerry's service to our country"

-Bush's campaign spokesmen reguarding the swift boat ads


Sounds like a denouncement to me.

Bush should go on the air and DEMAND that Kerry lift up his skirt and check for a pair of balls with all the whining he's done lately.

ALSO:

Quote
"That ad and every other ad" run by such groups have no place in the campaign, Bush said when asked about the commercial sponsored by Swift Boat Veterans For Truth that has roiled the race for the White House. The group said it would not stop its new anti-Kerry ad, which will start running in three states this week


sounds like a denouncment to me.

Edwards went to Law School?? I thought he was a former televangelist, the way he rants. I'm not impressed with his command of the law or with constitutional matters.

I thought it was great. Edwards came out playing hardball and Bush handed it right back to him.

Now Edwards is stuck saying "but... but..."

I'm not a fan of Bush, but I thought that was well played.

Bush has come out and said that 527's need to be shut down.

Kerry has refused to say anything bad about 527's, unless it happens to be the Swift Boat Veterans. He has no problem at all with Soros saying he'll pay any price it takes to beat Bush, and say anything that has to be said as well. Moveon.org seems to cause Kerry/Edwards no consternation. Liberal "actors" can spend all the money they want and use their celebrity for what their money can't buy. Same with liberal "artists/musicians".

Oh, and that pompous bellybutton McCain has not said a thing about his stupid legislation being as impotent and useless as he is. He doesn't seem to mind Moveon.org and their ilk at all, but he sure will squawl about the Swift Boat Veterans. He doesn't care that his joint venture with that moron Feingold attempts to silence public funded organizations like the NRA, while allowing BOTH sides' 527's to fire at will.


None of this surprises me in the least.

My prediction is that Bush will take the high road on all of this, like his father, and Kerry/Edwards/DNC/Moveon.org/Soros will kick him in the nards with their continued hate campaign. Bush will pay the price for it, like his father, and maybe the nation will as well.

I personally hope the Swift Boat Veterans keep on just like Soros and Moveon.org. And if Kerry/Edwards/DNC can't take it, they either need to shut up or get out.

Bush did the right thing. The whole idea of attacking war veterans performance for politcal purposes is disgusting. If the Democrats want to try to milk it further, I think it will cause a backlash. It was a stupid attack, and Bush said that.

It would have been a lot more impressive if it had been done two weeks ago, or if he had cut them off before the fact.

Now, Bush can "do the right thing" and be sure just about anybody with a TV or radio or who has read a newspaper has encountered abundant coverage of the claims. Yeah, he should get a pat on the back.

The head of the swift boats vets said that if Bush had personally asked them to stop the ad, they wouldn't have.

Bush has no more power cut them off than you or I.  (freedom of speech, press)

lol... why would Bush do that when the entire thing is a product of his machine?

That'd be like Henry Ford takin' a sledgehammer to his car or something.

I'm curious Nash, do you think moveon.org is a part of Kerry's machine?
