As a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Sen. Kerry shared the assessment of the threat posed by Saddam Hussein, ... He voted for the use of force in Iraq, then later tried to say it was a vote to 'threaten' the use of force, and then ultimately declared himself an 'anti-war' candidate.
This is because they don't want a debate on the issues, and they don't want to run on Sen. Kerry's record. I guess I can't blame them for that. We as a party cannot sink to their level. We must stick to the truth in this race.
Someone said, 'well, did you coach him?' And I just laughed and said, 'that's like asking somebody if you can coach Michael Jordan on his jump shot. You just can't. He's a natural talent.'
This is an election year that's going to be very close and it's going to be fought between the 45-yard lines, and the fundamentals of the race haven't changed. They're right where they've been from the beginning. We're preparing for a close contest in November,
I was in Vermont yesterday, and the Vermonters I talked to said I should not have been surprised that something their former governor said was at odds with the facts,
He didn't roll his eyes and he didn't sigh 17 times in 20 minutes as he did last week, ... But he couldn't change what was happening up there.
He definitely looks and feels and sounds like a presidential aspirant.
He came out trying to change the dynamics, but he couldn't.
We're preparing for a very close contest. We expect something to be more like 2000 than 1984 or 1972, ... This Week.
What I said is demonstrably true. The record and votes that I cited on behalf of Senator Kerry are easy to cite and check. President Bush's record of honorable discharge from the National Guard is also just as easy to check. This kind of political discourse is reprehensible.
Terry McAuliffe is flat wrong and slanderous when he says the president was AWOL,
His long record in the Senate is one of advocating policies that would weaken our national security.
If you look at the party identification and how voters identify themselves, the parties are just about at parity,
This is a classic example of Sen. Kerry trying to escape his 20-year record.
