Bring -- it -- on.

[swarthyguy]

Excellent. Hardball.

[Gordian Blade]

Finally a serious counter-punch to the gut.

[Steely Tom]

Sounds like negative campaigning to me.

Isn't the word "blast" a bit hyperbolic? Again, any criticism or questioning of Kerry or his record is looked at by the media as "lashing out" "attacking" or "bashing"

[ArrogantBustard]

President Bush on Monday accused John Kerry of having proposed "deeply irresponsible" cuts in intelligence spending just two years after the first attack on the World Trade Center, part of a re-election effort to depict his Democratic rival as weak on national security and the war against terrorism.

This is more like it.

News to Kerry: you're Senate voting record is fair game, and Bush just cleaned his rifle.

[CWOJackson]

A lot of folks were complaining about the President sitting back and not responding to accusations being made by all the democrat candidates.

I think it was brilliant. Kerry has a lot of negatives and the President has waiting until it's pretty much too late for the democrats to change their mind before firing away.

I'm always amazed at how many people continue to underestimate the President.

[ZULU]

Will this hit the mainstream press? If it doesn't, its wasted energy.

Let the debate begin. Is about time President give a right one to this flip flopping kangaroo French looking fry. This stupid media liberal polling means nothing. They have so much on him it is like trying to face a fire without water. I say this; Republican party must go on offensive, one note though. If any one of you ever try to run against your opponent and I mean as a sport would you not conserve your energy for last run to by past your opponent. This I think what President is doing. Kerry is going to get his behind kick really good. Hillary baron is already making noises about Kerry trying to replace another bamboo in DNC. Democrats are basing their charts on trying to win without any cost for them. And end is Check mate by President. I am highly optimistic about outcome, why you may ask answer is simple; Kerry knows one thing he can not denied his own record. Media will try their best however end of line does not end in front.

[finnman69]

WOO HOO. Kerry is going to rant with hyperbole while Bush will bitch slap Botox man with his own record repeatedly.

[rintense]

"Once again, Senator Kerry is trying to have it both ways,"

Flip-flopper!

[quantim]

Bush, during a fund-raiser in Dallas, called attention to a 1995 bill that Kerry sponsored to trim intelligence spending

I'm liking this.  Slam your opposition while you're making money!

[bobo1]

LOL!

It didn't surprize me that Kerry was opposed to intelligence.

He is a Rat, isn't he?

Blessings, Bobo

"Waaaa...mommy, the mean old President is attacking me again....waaaaa" - John Kerry on MSNBCNNBCBS tonight.

To fend off such criticism, Kerry has relied in large part on his decorated Navy service in Vietnam.

Just in case anyone didn't know this. Can't have any kind of questioning about Kerry without the obligatory he-served-in-Vietnam-with-distinction mention, now can we.
