Bush Mocks Kerry During King Of Prussia Appearance President In Dead Heat In Keystone State
POSTED: 3:31 pm EDT September 22, 2004
KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. -- President Bush on Wednesday accused Sen. John Kerry of sending "mixed signals" on the Iraq war during a campaign appearance in King of Prussia, Pa.
"You cannot lead the war against terror if you wilt or waver when times get tough," Bush said at the re-election rally, which officially had an education there.
"My opponent is sending mixed signals," Bush said. "You cannot expect the Iraqi people to stand up and do the hard work of democracy if you're pessimistic about their ability to govern themselves. You cannot expect our troops to continue to do the hard work if they hear mixed messages from Washington, D.C."
Mocking what he called Kerry's "many different positions on Iraq," Bush said: "I'll continue to speak clearly. I'll continue to lead, and I'm confident we will achieve our objectives."
Kerry campaign spokesman Phil Singer responded, "It's unfortunate that the president is content to launch misleading and false attacks instead of explaining what he's doing to stabilize the situation on the ground and bring stability to Iraq."
The trip Wednesday was Bush's 37th visit to the state he lost in 2000 and where four polls show the race a statistical tie. He also surveyed flood damage in Allegheny County, where the remnants of Hurricane Ivan left heavy flooding.
"Our government is ready to help," Bush said. The administration has declared 26 counties in Pennsylvania disaster areas.
The appearance in King of Prussia also featured a panel of teachers talking about "No Child Left Behind" act.
During the discussion, Bush proposed $750 million for teachers who are successful in raising student-test scores.
Yes, you've heard it before. I HATE the MSM. They are such creeps. Do they listen to SKerry? Obviously not or they'd be crawling on their bellies begging people to vote for Bush.
No. The MSM's word of choice when Kerry criticizes Bush is "slams". "Kerry slams Bush over...".
Do a google search on "Kerry slams Bush" (use the quotes). It's pretty funny to see all the various headlines from various sources. Google shows 11,400 hits!
