Except for the very original advise he received from Clinton: assail Bush on domestic issues! Now why would Clinton set Kerry up to walk straight into this minefield? After all, when Clinton was running for reelection in 1996:
The unemployment rate was 6.2 percent. Today, under Bush, it’s 5.4 percent – with 1.7 million new jobs created and a record of steady job growth for the last 12 months!
The inflation rate was 2.6 percent. Today, under Bush, it’s 1.9 percent! ·The mortgage rate was 7.81 percent. Today, under Bush, it’s 5.86 percent – at a 20-year low!
And let’s not forget that when Kerry’s hero, President Carter, took office in 1977, the inflation rate was 6.62 percent, then it jumped to 7.59 percent, then it soared to 11.28 percent, and then in 1980 it hit a high of 13.48 percent! And let’s not forget Carter’s unemployment rate of 10 percent. And this is the man who Kerry listens to! More at:http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2004/9/10/111039.shtml
Even more than slick Willie... Carter HAS to go down in history as the US's worst president ever. Totally uneffective and clueless.
Truth is to Democrats what kryptonite is to Superman. They can't exist in the same room.
