Rove: Kerry Has Taste of Bush Campaign
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Filed at 7:21 p.m. ET

WASHINGTON (AP) -- White House political chief Karl Rove said Wednesday that President Bush had just begun to demonstrate the kind of targeted, multi-front campaign he plans against Democratic rival John Kerry.

Addressing a small group of conservative activists, Rove assured them that Bush planned a nimble campaign able to counterpunch even before Kerry opens his mouth. The White House adviser pointed with pride to the Bush camp's response Tuesday, when it got word that Kerry planned a national security speech to veterans in West Virginia.

Less than 24 hours after learning of the speech, the Bush campaign produced an ad criticizing Kerry for his Senate votes on military spending. It also dispatched volunteers to hand out pro-Bush material to West Virginians, and started radio ads in the state.

22. Sounds like Poppy is pressuring Rove...to "Do Something"
To counter the attacks on "my" boy!

Rove is clearly OUT of his element. Stealth, Cunning and subversive activities are the forte of the Republican Klan.

Like roaches exposed to the daylight, Rove is forced into scurrying across the floor in search of a new breeding ground. Unfortunately, the US is burning, our house is on-fire, there isn't any place left for Karl Roach to hide for breeding new hate and lies. People are more aware than ever that their country is behaving more unAmerican than ever in it's history. Federalist philosophy is unacceptable and is NOT what America is about.

Enter the exterminator, John Kerry, fumigating whats left of The People's White House, rebuilding our Democracy, rolling back The Patriot's Act and ending the incestuousness between government and business over the will and best interests of the People.

All Kerry has to do is keep the heat on this lying turd.

5. it's easy to compare the records
George W. Bush and John Kerry both spent their mid twenties in uniform. The similarities end there.

6. He's whistling past the graveyard
Edited on Wed Mar-17-04 08:11 PM by rocknation
He knows how much trouble he's in. Why else would Rove deliberately make HIMSELF to be the subject of a story? Stay the course and keep bringin it on, Kerry--you've got 'em on the run!

14. My thoughts exactly...
Rove is either VERY confused (he thought Kerry was Dukakis, I guess), or up to somthing that I have not figured out yet!!!

What he means is lies, lies, and more lies. I can't understand why people take this fool as a genius provocateur. His only claim to fame is being the king of sleaze. My what a brain! :eyes:

11. Kerry should point this out- by calling for more debates...
...and continuing to call for debates:

"The people are tired of negative ads- they deserve to hear our ideas straight from the source- they need to see the candidates thinking on their feet. Negative Ads dont show this..."

Rove is a bloated cow that cares about nothing but his selfish agenda.

Democrats should hang his carcass in the spotlight and reveal what the GOP is really all about.

20. agreed but
perhaps raising money for kerry, voting and lobbying for criminal charges, while less viscerally satisfying, would be more effective than hanging his bloated carcass.

13. Maybe I'm being too optimistic...
but I wonder if the Rove attacks will be believed by anyone who isn't already a
mindless Bushite. Bush has told so many lies. Many
people find his credibility highly questionable. So perhaps attacking Kerry
may backfire, and accomplish no more that preaching to the choir and
convincing those of us who want him out that he is the creep we believe
him to be.

He might be smarter to come up with some high-falutin' crap about what his
plans for the future are, and try to use that to draw voters back in to the fold.
Of course the problem with that is his Administration is so bankrupt when
it comes to inovative ideas about anything.

16. But the good news, is Kerry is going on a fund raising drive
and Turd is dropping $$$$$ per stop with all his ads and things.

21. Kerry needs to keep pushing hard on the issues
Edited on Wed Mar-17-04 09:48 PM by freeforall
...as he's been doing. I think that most people (with any intelligence) want to hear his stance on economy, foreign policy, medicare, education, etc. and not mud-slinging. So far he's doing great.

Just keep it up!

24. Why don't we get the NYT's to run a story on how Rove Planted
A bug in his own office to deceive the media in to calling his opponents as the culprits. It's all in the book "Bush's Brain." Since Chimp ain't got one, Rove is it. If I ever meet Rove, I'll shake his hand, then pull in and spit in his face. He is the purist form of vermin.
