Kerry's "Positive" Campaign
This quote is from John Edwards' speech last night:
1. If your party's campaign is so positive, why can't you denounce your surrogates and supporters who like to compare a sitting US President to Hitler?
2. Could you explain how these comments by Democratic leaders are positive?
4. How do you explain Kerry's wife Teresa implying that Republicans are un-American, then telling a reporter to "shove it". Is that part of your positive campaign?
5. Boston hasn't experienced many problems with protests during your convention. Will your campaign denounce demonstrators trying to disrupt the Republican Convention in NYC? Will you denounce demonstrators (probably supporters of your campaign) who carry signs like this?
These are just some questions you may want to think about the next time you accuse the Bush campaign of being negative.
P.S. If anyone from the Bush campaign sees this, I think you should turn it into a campaign commercial.
Update: Poliblogger adds another question.
“You the American people — you can reject the tired, old hateful, negative politics of the past.” Republican leaders, said Edwards, are “doing all they can to take this campaign for the highest office in the land down the lowest possible road.”These guys must have some large cajones if they think they can get away with this. I just have a few questions for Mr. Edwards.
1. If your party's campaign is so positive, why can't you denounce your surrogates and supporters who like to compare a sitting US President to Hitler?

3. How come your positive campaign said performers like Whoopi Goldberg represent "the heart and soul of our country" right after she completed a rant of vulgar Bush-bashing?
- Howard Dean suggested the president knew 9/11 was going to occur but did nothing to stop it: "The most interesting theory that I have heard so far, is that [Mr. Bush] was warned ahead of time by the Saudis."
- Dick Gephardt called the president a "Miserable Failure"
- Ted Kennedy said the Iraq invasion "was made up in Texas, announced in January to the Republican leadership that war was going to take place and was going to be good politically. This whole thing was a fraud,"
- Terry McAuliffe accused Bush of being AWOL from the Texas Air National Guard and said "George Bush never served in our military"
- John Kerry said "The Bush administration has pursued the most arrogant, inept, reckless, and ideological foreign policy in modern history."
- John Kerry said this about the Bush campaign: "These guys are the most crooked, you know, lying group I've ever seen."
