Bush campaign criticizes Kerry for using "headlines" against Bush

Those crazy headlines

The news out of Iraq today is frightening, and the blame lies squarely with the Bush administration. Allowing 380 tons of explosives to be stolen is hard for a campaign to spin, even with Bush's rose-colored glasses on. So how do the pros at the Bush campaign spin the unspinnable? They attack John Kerry for — and this is no joke — using the headlines to make his case.

Steve Schmidt of the Bush campaign led the way, saying that Kerry "is basing his attacks on the headlines he wakes up to each day."

Um, yeah, Steve. He is.

I can't really blame them though. It's perfectly understandable that the Bush campaign just can't figure out why John Kerry keeps talking about those pesky things like "the news" or "headlines" or "facts" or "reality." After all, if you ignore everything happening in Iraq — and right here in America — things are going pretty darn well!

1. Imagine the nerve of that upstart Kerry - trying to defeat Bush!

Who does he think he is, anyway - a legitimate candidate in an actual election?

[pmbryant]

2. It's because the Bushies aren't part of the 'reality-based community'

And apparently few of their supporters are either.

[joefree1]

3. How dare Kerry campaign on the truth

Where are the Kerry commercials with snarling wolves, waving flags, and 9/11 daughters hugging the Prez?

6. In order to see what the neo-cons are seeing,

you'll only need to acquire a divers helmet, and put it on backward.

"No fair! You're using information!"

7. How dare you use the results of my governance to impugn my governance!

What fucking fools.

[Beetwasher]

10. Bush: We Should IGNORE CURRENT EVENTS!! And Concentrate ON VIETNAM!

and not only that, but ONLY on what KERRY DID in Vietnam! And not only that, but what MY SUPPORTERS SAY Kerry did in Vietnam!!! Everything else is irrelevant!

[jezebel]

11. Since Bush doesn't read the newspapers, no one should. NT

12. Thank goodness someone else finds this GOP tactic ridiculous too!

I couldn't believe it when I heard it.

America is going to hell, and John Kerry is using that against the president taking it to hell! Do GOP-ers really REALLY not see that?

Are they really criticizing a candidate for using, gulp, _facts_ and current events to show how their boy is doing an awful job?

Absurd, really. Seems a trifle desperate:

Who you gonna believe: us, or your lyin' eyes?

Don't watch the news, don't read the papers, ignore the man behind the curtain. Orwell mixed with L. Frank Baum. Heh.

14. yeah,too bad their guy is too stupid and misinformed to use current events

in his speeches--just fear

[jimshoes]

15. Aren't these the guys that create their own realities...

while we're not looking. Then when we begin to look at that reality, they create another reality because that's the way things are nowadays, being an empire and all. Now we are seeing the real reality overtaking the phony reality creations of the bush machine and they can't create their bullshit realities fast enough.

16. BUSH can run but he can't hide

[gratuitous]

20. Bush can try to hide from his record

But he can't run on it!

[CrispyQ]

17. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen . . .

We've got a candidate who will be happy to do the hard work!

I can't wait till the little sissy goes running back to Crawford. What a frickin' loser!

[Sara Beverley]

18. We should say Bush campaign criticizes Kerry for using "truth" against

Bush.

Kerry couldn't use the headlines if they weren't there.

[Cocoa]

19. Nicolle Devenish doing it now on CNN

says Kerry is playing the "politics of pessimism," and is "hitting below the belt."

[mcg]

21. Kerry's spanking George for being a very bad boy.

And rightly so.

[joanne]

22. But Dumbya says he is proud of his record

And since he never reads the paper he has no idea what the headlines are.

I wonder what Pickles reads to him each night before bedtime? :puke:
