Slate: If you're against Bush, you're against America.
http://slate.msn.com/id/2097369/

This is a MUST-READ analysis of what the lying crooks are up to in their attacks on Kerry. Here's my favorite part:

---

History repeats itself. Last week, George W. Bush aired a TV ad in which the following charges appeared on the screen for nine seconds: "John Kerry's Plan: Weaken Fight Against Terrorists"; "John Kerry's Plan: Delay Defending America."

What was Bush's evidence for the first charge? His campaign cited four Kerry quotes. In the first, Kerry called for "replacing the Patriot Act with a new law that protects our people and our liberties at the same time." In the second, Kerry called for "provisions to guarantee that there is not this blind spot in the American justice system that there is today under the Patriot Act." In the third, Kerry said, "I voted for the USA Patriot Act in the Senate right after 9/11 to advance our security at home, but I am concerned that Attorney General John Ashcroft's Justice Department is abusing the powers conferred on it by that act." In the fourth, Kerry said, "We are a nation of laws and liberties, not of a knock in the night."

Among those four statements, I count zero in favor of weakening the fight against terrorists and two in favor of protecting American security. But never mind. According to Bush, "Kerry's Plan" is "Weaken Fight Against Terrorists."

2. If you are for bush
You are for Military Desertion, drug abuse, lying, profiting from insider trading, deceiving the american people, having no desire to develop leadership skills, and most importantly to all concerned, if you are for bush, you are against the United States of America. I love it when dumbasses want to talk politics with me. Bring it on, my fellow Americans.
