Dole said Kerry responded, "I haven't spent one dime attacking President Bush.

Delusional?

Well, it is literally the campaign's money, or the donor's money, etc.

The family's money?

Besides, I'd imagine in Kerry's mind, the only attack that would fall under that category is an advertisement.

So, if interviewed, and an attack should slip out, and be re-run by the news media, why, not one dime was spent...

So, if speaking at a fundraiser, or a campaign stop, and an attack should spring forth, why, here again, not one dime was spent...

Typical lawyer speak. Not, "I haven't attacked the Pres.," nor, "I've only responded to attacks," no, instead it's "I've not SPENT ONE DIME."

Statement, I dub thee nuance, and bid thee begone!

IMHO, of course...

It was the "family's" money. In other words, it belonged to his Stepmoney, TerAYsa.
