ARLINGTON, VA Today, State Rep. Charlie McDonald (D-LA), Louisiana Democrats for Bush Chairman, issued the following statement on John Edwards' visit to Louisiana:
"John Kerry says Democrats make a 'mistake' in looking to the South for votes, but Southern Democrats aren't going to make the mistake of looking to John Kerry. Kerry doesn't have much credibility in the South after telling rural voters that he represents their 'conservative values' despite being ranked the Senate's most out-of-the-mainstream member, and Kerry isn't taking us seriously considering his decision to stop competing in Louisiana.
"Kerry and his running mate both voted for the Iraq War and they both voted against $87 billion in funding to send equipment like body armor and ammunition to our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Kerry previously said it would be 'irresponsible' not to fund our troops, but now boasts of being 'proud' of his vote and says it was a 'complicated' decision. Louisianans know there is nothing 'complicated' about supporting our troops, and we're not going to trust someone who barely showed up for a crucial part of his job. Kerry was absent for 76 percent of public Senate Intelligence Committee hearings during his time on the panel, and he even proposed $6 billion in intelligence funding cuts in the year after the first World Trade Center attack."
Good find!
Looks like Old MacDonald has a forum.
