Kerry Accuses Bush of 'Stubborn,' Not Steady, Leadership

CHICAGO, March 9 — As he scooped up scores more delegates in four Southern primaries on Tuesday on his march to the Democratic presidential nomination, Senator John Kerry turned one of President Bush's campaign slogans against him, saying his rival had provided "stubborn," not steady, leadership.

"He stubbornly insists on tax cuts as he steadily loses jobs in this country," Mr. Kerry, playing off the Bush campaign theme "steady leadership in a time of change," told a small audience at a center for the elderly in suburban Evanston. "He stubbornly refuses to allow the importation of drugs from Canada, while steadily the prices are going up."

"I think his stubborn leadership has led America steadily in the wrong direction," Mr. Kerry, who is from Massachusetts, added, "and that's why we're going to vote for change in November."

1. Bam! Now he needs to tie in Bush's goofy vacillations on Iraq, et al
Or rather Bush's flip flops. His own are not so bad as Bush's.

3. Turn every lie and buzzword around
And let it bit bush in the ass. Like the "Clear Skies Initiative." And "No Child Left Behind." Expose the fraud for what he is. A lying SOB.

5. including Cheney's flip-flop on gay marriage
http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/03/10/wed/index.html
excerpt:

"The fact of the matter is we live in a free society, and freedom means freedom for everybody," said Cheney, whose daughter Mary is openly gay and works on his campaign.

"We don't get to chose, and shouldn't be able to chose, and say you get to live free but you don't. People should be free to enter into any kind of relationship they want to enter into. That matter is regulated by the states."

On screen, key phrases appear. "States can chose for themselves," followed by "Federal law protects them from what other states decide."

More Cheney: "I think different states are likely to come to different conclusions and that's appropriate. I don't think there should necessarily be a federal policy in this area."
