Kerry Hits Back at Bush As Primary Nears


By DAVID ESPO, AP Special Correspondent

Democratic front-runner John Kerry (news - web sites) fired back at President Bush (news - web sites) on Tuesday, depicting him as a "walking contradiction" who has presided over job losses, a deficit increase and frayed international alliances despite promises to the contrary.

One day after Bush criticized Kerry in his most partisan remarks of the campaign, Sen. John Edwards (news - web sites) issued a rebuttal of a different sort.


"Not so fast, George Bush," said Kerry's sole remaining major rival for the Democratic nomination. "You don't get to decide who our nominee is."

1. Kerry can
nuetralize Bush on the "waffle" attack. It is good that he is attacking him on that. Bush was pro NAFTA but created steal tariffs...anti-nation building and invaded two countries and attempted coups and threats in others. Said gay marriage was a state issue now wants an ammendment. Bush said the US wasn't ready to overturn roe v wade he is attacking abortion rights.The list goes on and on and on.

5. Horray!
Every attack on Kerry will be met with a devestating counterattack. This guy is a prosecutor, remember... he's got all his moves mapped out. This is going to be SWEEEEET!

7. and I like that Edwards is not allowing
it to go unchallenged. It is a good step to building unity IMHO.

6. Bush and his puppetmasters have really overreached.
They've incited a rebellion against themselves. They are so incredibly greedy and hyperpredatory, they were not satisfied with anything.

9. yup, like all dictators, they overreach...
...the only questions about their downfall are: how long in coming, and at what cost to everyone else?
