Indeed. I hope Bush has the guts to go negative fast. Considering that the Dems have been bashing him relentlessly for last year, I don’t see how anyone could hold it against him. But his first set of ads were positive, and the email I got from the Bush campaign made a point of saying that they were positive. First, I hope this doesn’t mean that Bush is going to run a wimpy campaign and second, even these positive ads were not without controversy. They featured references to 911 and the Dems and some families of 911 victims are already screaming bloody murder over them.
The question is: do you trust Dick Morris?
JS,
Not particularly, but that doesn’t mean that he’s always wrong. And his columns usually make interesting reading.
Addendum for JS:
While, again, I don’t really trust Morris, I think he is right on the money about this. Bush need to start swinging back soon. For one thing, the Dems have been trying to cut him to ribbons for the better part of a year. Bush also simply cannot allow Kerry to define the terms of the Presidential debate and can’t let him successfully pass himself off as a moderate, rather than the extremely Liberal Mass. Senator that he is. If Bush wants to win, he will do everything he can to define Kerry by his record in the Senate rather than let Kerry define himself according to what he thinks the public wants to hear. It is certain that the Dems will drag out everything they think they can use from the Bush record and then some.
Oh, what does it matter who wins the next election anyway? The choice is between a Republican and his neo-conservative pals who wage pre-emptive wars on bad intelligence while refusing to encouraging illegal immigration – in the wake of 9/11! – and a half-dead Democrat who calls our own soldiers “baby-killers” then proceeds to brag about the success of his own war against the unborn! This country is going to Hell- to Hell, I tell you! As for me, I’m boning up on my Italian and getting ready to move.
Oops. That should say “while encouraging illegal immigration” not “while refusing to encouraging…”
Heh. Heh heh.
Marc,
What makes you think that things will be any better in Italy?
