Bush Camp Trying to Portray Kerry as Liberal
The Bush campaign, in a new television ad, accused Kerry of wanting to treat terrorism as a law enforcement problem like gambling and prostitution, seizing on a comment Kerry made to The New York Times Magazine.
"How can Kerry protect us when he doesn't understand the threat?" the ad script asked.
Kerry had told the magazine: "We have to get back to the place where we were, where terrorists are not the focus of our lives, but they're a nuisance. As a former law-enforcement person, I know we're never going to end prostitution. We're never going to end illegal gambling. But we're going to reduce it, organized crime, to a level where it isn't on the rise."
