Bush Accuses Kerry of Using Political Poker Chip
REUTERS NEWS SERVICE


LAS VEGAS - President Bush accused Democrat John Kerry yesterday of shifting positions to oppose storing nuclear waste at the Yucca Mountain site in Nevada and using the issue as a "political poker chip" in a gamble to grab a state Bush won in 2000. ..

"My opponent is trying to turn Yucca Mountain into a political poker chip," Bush said. "He says he is strongly against Yucca, here in Nevada, but he voted for it several times, and so did his running mate (John Edwards). My point to you is that, if they're going to change, one day they may change again. I think you need straight talk on this issue."

Kerry has consistently voted against a nuclear repository at Yucca Mountain. The 1987 amendments act was tacked onto budget legislation, for which he voted, but Kerry said on Tuesday, "When it has counted - on real votes to say no to Yucca mountain, I voted no."

2. Bush lied about Yucca Mountain!
He said in 2000 he wouldn't use it (for 'nuklear waste') unless the science showed it was good. It hasn't, and he has.

15. Yeah, but look at what kind of scientists
he has. I would bet damn near all of them worked for or with energy companies.

Gee, in 2000 he said that he wouldn't use Yucca Mountain as a nuclear waste repository. Now he says that he will. Isn't that a *gasp* FLIP-FLOP?

3. I'm amazed he can even say shit
Edited on Thu Aug-12-04 08:12 PM by NC_Nurse
like this without choking on his own words...

EVERYTHING he says is a "political poker chip", he's been taking things out of context and turning his statements around for years!

I'm continually amazed by the blatant hypocrisy and arrogance of this prick!

:wtf:

He is so freakin' pathological in his incessant circle of lies. He thinks people are are "stoopid" as he is and will just swallow his shit if he keeps forcing it down their throats.

4. Bush didn't say this
Cheney and Rove said it. They just used Bushit's mouth as the delivery device.

You know, when I was one time campaigning in Chicago, a reporter said, would you ever have a deficit? And I said, I can't imagine it, but there would be one if we had a war, or a national emergency, or a recession. (Laughter.) Never did I dream we'd get the trifecta. (Laughter.)

10. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh.........so he was kinda speakin' the local language
hoping they'd mistake him for one of them. Gee...I wonder if they fell for it? And he has such a poker face....I'll bet they bought all his previous lies as well. He's a clever one, alright.
