No, because I'm an idiot :(

 

Though my friend watched it, and talked about how Kerry asked Bush at the end of his speech if they could be adults about this, and instead of focusing on the negatives just talk about their positives, and this morning Bush had a live speech condemning John Kerry and his lies.....

 

 

Real grown up of him :lol:

i watched it as much as i could. it was funny i was in NY when Clinton's book came out and i met him and got a signed copy. the only thing i asked him is if he was sure he couldn't run again, lol. thats the only thing i thought about during his speech, what a speaker he is. i also noticed kerry's plea to bush to respect one another. when i saw bush's speech today i couldn't help but remind myself that the only thing he could do is bash Kerry. What else could he do? He has absolutely nothing to be proud of in the last 5 years.

and im sure bush criticizing kerry for missing most of his senate votes is not bashing him at all, and i dont know what ads you have been seeing, but kerry has only been talking about how he got his purple hearts, and had a succesful senate career. the most he's dont in his ads was say that it was unwise to go into war with all of our allies hating us.

I think we need to make the distinction between "bashing" a politician and addressing pointed issues.

 

I equate bashing with ad hominem attack and insult. Attacking the very character of a person or insulting them on a personal level.

 

Attacking an issue that they stand for or have failed at isn't ad hominem.

 

I see no reason why Kerry's position on the No Child Left Behind Act is unfounded. It is under-funded and the very title of the act is a promise to "leave no child behind." And yet, many, many are getting left behind. The act itself needs to be enhanced and funded. That's what John Kerry wants to do.

 

I can cite the source for that if you're interested.

One thing, if you dont call that bashing, then bush didnt bash kerry. but the no child left behind commercial in invalid. the issues it addressed would be strictly on a local level. not national.

I was under the impression that no child left behind WAS a national program. Perhaps I've misinterpreted.

the program was, but the issues mentioned in the commercial were obviously a local issue. I mean, the state descides how many teachers are per classroom, and how large the class sizes are, it doesnt go as high as the president, more likely the governor.
