Edwards: Bush could stop swift boat ads

[Nambe]

ROANOKE, Virginia (CNN)

Democratic vice presidential nominee John Edwards called on Saturday for President Bush to condemn the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth ad campaign. ..

"To say that John Kerry did not serve courageously is a lie," Edwards said, adding that Kerry's war record is beyond dispute.

Edwards demanded that Bush set the record straight himself and not through his representatives.

"I'm not interested in hearing spokespeople for George Bush, spokespeople for his campaign," Edwards said. "I'm not interested in hearing from front groups for George Bush, financed by his friends. We want to hear from the president of the United States. Not rhetoric." ..

1. Did Edwards really say that * should "Man up?"

Someone posted that yesterday but I haven't seen any video of him saying it.

2. ........

This is the reason John Edwards will make a great VP........Yes Bush should be ashamed.........Bush could make this all go away just by doing as he should have done with MCCain By either accepting blame and apologize or seperate himself publicly by denouncing it........I think GWB has just lost the White House in Aug just as his daddy did in 92.........Pathetic Shrubs true colors are now showing.

3. This just keeps getting better and better!!

Having Edwards take this tack is extremely smart, They need to keep pounding away that Bush needs to step up and shut this whole thing down. At this point it is a no-win situation for him. The poop is already out on these guys, so if he doesn't he looks like a puss, if he does then it just sticks to him all the more.
