"REPORTING FOR KERRY SUPERVISION SIR"
Posted on 09/08/2004 10:11:52 AM PDT by TitansAFC
The John F. Kerry for President campaign and Kerry supporters took aim at First Lady Laura Bush today, claiming in a new book by Kitty Kelly that Laura Bush both sold and smoked marijuana during her days at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. This explosive new allegation signals a new strategy by Kerry supporters to target not only President Bush with charges of drug use in his past, but the First Lady as well.
A newly coordinated strategy by the The Kerry camp will begin this week with week-long media appearances by Kitty Kelly (author of "The Family: The Real Story of the Bush Dynasty," which makes these shocking charges) and Kerry Campaign Vice-Chairman and former Democratic Leiutenant Governor of Texas Ben Barnes. Barnes will charge that he used his influence as Speaker of the Texas House to uncharacteristically get known political opponent and long-time Republican George H.W. Bush's son a job with the Texas National Guard in order to avoid serving in Vietnam.
Another phase of the Kerry strategy involves a relatively new pro-Kerry 527 group called "Texans for Truth" which plans to launch an ad this week in which a lieutenant colonel in the Alabama Air National Guard questions Bush's absence from his National Guard service in Montgomery, Ala. The group says it plans to spend about $100,000 to run the ad.
The ad asks "Was George W. Bush AWOL in Alabama?" and implores: "Tell us whom you served with Mr. President."
This new and well-coordinate Democratic effort to resurrect charges made several times in the past four years signals a U-turn in the Kerry campaign, going back to charges made during the Democratic Convention by DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe that President Bush was "AWOL" during his Texas Guard service, an allegedly treasonous act. Criticized by fellow Democrats for not being harsh enough, Kerry supporters have unloaded these allegations this week against First Lady Laura Bush and the President in the hopes of damaging the personal credibility of the First Couple.
Charges of prior drug abuse by Laura and George Bush, as well as allegations of treason against the President, will dominate the Democratic talking-points this week with the intent of showing that the Kerry camp is getting serious about going on the offensive in this campaign.
"And I'm
Santa Clause!"
That's funny. You look more like Lara Croft.
That's impossible!!!!!!!!!!!!!... otherwise he'd be the Democratic nominee for president...
Perhaps it will be like the previous Democrat election law breaking: fines imposed after the election when the damage has been done, allowing the crooks to flaunt the law.
Why would you be disappointed? I was at Michigan State from '66-'70, and I didn't even know what pot WAS.
I had opportunity to smoke it a couple or three years after graduation, and was totally paranoid that the cops were going to break down my door.
Naive is as naive does. Even at the age of 55.
And Kitty Kelly, what does she look like when writing columns like this in a drunken stupor?
And these guys are trying to claim that a straight-laced schoolteacher at a Conservative Methodist college was a dope dealer? Please. In '72 (or '92) I might at least listen, but I checked - Laura Bush graduated in '68. I can't imagine it happening.
OTOH, I graduated in the 90s. I know of three people (including myself) that hadn't tried it. Whatta difference a generation makes.
Yep, stupid DemonRATs. Tick off the 80% of the country that likes and admires Laura Bush. And it will make you look even more stupid because Laura actually defended TeeRAYsah's position as the wife of a candidate.
The Clintoon good squad really really really wants Kerry to lose. LOL
I'm assuming this is a ZOT since the poster joined today. I added some key words for the poster.
"It smells like....VICTORY. Someday this war's going to end, son."
If they all were in the 60s+70s and smoked Pot, then everyone else did, too. Or, it's at least believable that everyone else did. To introduce a new concept is unthinkable.
It's the old NY Times syndrome. Wasn't there a reporter for the Times that couldn't understand how Nixon won in a landslide because no one she knew voted for him......
And the Queen of England, don't forget! Lyndon La Rouche told us so!
Was that the same Sears-Roebucks catalogue where Sandy Berger modeled his socks?
Funny....I thought it was the person who posts under the name sangh0 or sangha over on DU!
The timing of this is questionable...
Lies ascended from Hell.
I knew their character was in question in '98. By 2000 I refered to them as "soulless". I'm not even sure when I began to realize how depraved they were, though I must have because this doesn't shock me, but we are finally seeing the ugliness in their souls revealed.
Character matters. It trumps ideolgy. They are a national party without honor-without character-without a soul.
God help us if they hold greater power in this nation.
Ohhhhhh. That's just sad.
