I've figured this out. Bush is not
stupid, which a shallow analysis
of his reply might suggest. Bush
keeps referring to KERRY'S record
& service, of which HE should be
proud. All Bush means, clearly, is
what KERRY represents as his own
record. NOT what others are saying
that contradicts Kerry's claims -
Bush isn't commenting on that at
all.

I like it. The Media is frantic
to hurt Bush with this Ad War. He
won't let them.

Pay CLOSE attention...very close.
Bush is trusting US to watch so
carefully, & not knee-jerk, that
he believes his backers will stick
with him.

Thank you Freepers for all of your posts. All of you posted about the same thing which is that Bush is being very clever in his calculated response. I can see that you guys are right.

Sadly, I think a lot of his subtlety is lost on the mushy middle which doesn't pay attention to what W is saying but to what the Media suggests he is saying.

W's move to disassociate himself with all 527's and then let the 527's hammer on Kerry all they want is very nifty.
