Are you curious about the relative level of truth the ShrubCo's re-election campaign is delivering in their ugly smear campaign against John Kerry? Swing on by FactCheck.org to get the skinny on the pretty bold faced lies they are spreading. By the way, the site exposes the mistruths in Kerry's camp as well as Bush's so don't go thinking its just a Democratic "He Lied!" site. The About Us on the site gives more background on Brooks Jackson, Kathleen Hall Jamieson, PhD and Zaheed Mawani, the three main forces behind the site.
The latest ads (endorsed and approved by Shrub himself) that attack Kerry for voting against supplying our troops with adequate body armor? Um yeah, let's see, George Bush sent them over without that equipment. The attack on Kerry for voting against the Bradley Fighting Vehicle and other weapons needed to effectively wage Bush's oil war in Iraq? Yeah, those weren't individual votes, they were votes for Pentagon money bills. The site further states that Kerry's record over the last 19 years has been in support of "vital" weapons for the military.
And, even further, that Dick Cheney himself, Georgy's puppermaster, "told the House Armed Services Committee on Aug. 13, 1989 (when he was the secretary of defense): Cheney: The Army, as I indicated in my earlier testimony, recommended to me that we keep a robust Apache helicopter program going forward, AH-64; . . . I forced the Army to make choices. I said, "You can't have all three. We don't have the money for all three." So I recommended that we cancel the AH-64 program two years out. That would save $1.6 billion in procurement and $200 million in spares over the next five years."
By their own twisted logic, Dick Cheney is just as "soft" on defense as Kerry even though neither is soft on defense at all. Dick Cheney's soft in many other places, jowls, fat rich white guy gut, between his ears, etc. but he's not soft on defense. By the way, why do they call it defense spending when we're the one's going to war in Iraq. Its hard to say its defensive when we're the one's doing the attacking.
Even John McCain, who's running Shrub's re-election campaign in his Arizona is quoted on the site. "Kerry's voting record on military spending was defended March 18 by Republican Sen. John McCain. He said on CBS's "The Early Show:" McCain: No, I do not believe that he is, quote, weak on defense. He's responsible for his voting record, as we are all responsible for our records, and he'll have to explain it. But, no, I do not believe that he is necessarily weak on defense."
The spewing of lies, the illegal use of government resources, the twisting of truths and I'm sure there are plenty of other shenanigans being done by this current regime that we'll never hear about, they all go to demonstrating the character of George Bush and Dick Cheney. These are evil men who will say and do anything to remain in power so they can bleed more of this great country of ours. They are leeches, they are ticks, they are mosquitos sucking the lifeblood from our country and they need to be sent packing as quickly as possible.
And there dealings need to be examined in great detail because I'm almost positive that they have committed crimes against our nation that they should be held accountable for.
