President George W. Bush Tuesday sought to link his Democratic rival, Senator John Kerry, to the failed campaign of one-time Democratic presidential contender Howard Dean.

In a speech to supporters in Lee's Summit, Missouri, Bush charged that Kerry has shifted his position yet again on Iraq and now embraces the stance Dean, the former governor of Vermont, campaigned on before his candidacy imploded. ..

1. Oh no! Kerry's stance is the same as that guy who was right!

Keep digging, George.

[Khephra]

2. Oh, you fool! You just gave Dean a chance to speak to you directly

BIG MISTAKE!

Kerry can distance himself from Dean's statements. NO BIG DEAL.

But now you've given Dean a chance to ride your stupid ass for the rest of the campaign--and the press will have to cover what Dean says now. The Press loves theatrics, and Dean gave them some of the best political "stage" that they've had for the past 20 years. They're going to love a Bush vs. Dean fight! (especially since Dean can't win now. He's "safe" to showcase now.)

BIG MISTAKE.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!
(Happy Dean Scream!)

:evilgrin:

6. Georgie-boy played right into Dean's hands!

:evilgrin: Can't wait to see this! :)

10. True. Bush must sense some vulnerability here.

He'll have a 2 front battle from here on out on Iraq.

[xxqqqzme]

27. that's what I thought when I saw

the headline. That was a really stupid thing 2 do cuz Howard ain't takin' any shit off a squatter (unless Kerry camp tells him not 2 but I would think Carville would B delighted w/ this squatter f*ck up)

Give 'em hell Howard.

[cthrumatrix]

3. bring out the list of shrub flip/flops....the chimp would shut his piehole

and the facts are "Dean was more right than Bush"!

[Cocoa]

4. incredibly weak

Bush is tired of running against Kerry?

[oasis]

8. "Bush is tired of running against Kerry". Way to go Chimpy, reenergize

the Dean people.

[madrchsod]

5. that makes no sense at all

what does dean have anything to do with kerry?opps...i forgot -it`s bush speaking nonsense again...

[Catfight]

18. I agree, Bush STILL not making sense in any of his attack speeches.

When the hell is he going to talk about his own record?

[wryter2000]

7. Not the dreaded Dean connection!

We're doomed, I tell you. Doomed. :evilgrin:

[Kinkistyle]

9. What about the Clark?

The General had the same stance as Dean on the War for Oil. Why not mention him too huh? Or just about anyone who was right about your corrupt war.

[Khephra]

16. Because Dean commented on Iraq yesterday

and attacked Bush. Clark and Dean's stances are similar, but Clark isn't out there attacking Bush right now so he's not a threat or someone that the Right thinks they can use.

BUT BOY, did they pick the wrong man to pick a fight over. Dean won't back down and has nothing to lose. He only gets more popular when he fights back.

Plus he has a new book out. A Bush vs Dean fight won't hurt book sales.

;-)

11. Bush linked Kerry to Dean

because of { Wrong war, at the wrong place, at the wrong time } was a Dean statement.

[Dem2theMax]

28. I read that exact statement too.

* has to tell people that Kerry used a statement DEAN made? lmao.
We are talking desperation time here. :evilgrin:

[kskiska]

12. Pigboy is all over this today.

Really lame stuff.

[AspenRose]

13. Pass the popcorn and parmesan cheese

This is going to be GOOD.

Go get 'em, Howard.}(

[cthrumatrix]

14. Dean has been quiet...maybe it's time he "share" a few pearls

about shrubya.

[Khephra]

20. Not exactly quiet

He's doing a lot of campaigning for both Kerry and the Dean's Dozen. Also he has a new book out and a weekly editorial column. He's just not in the mainstream media.

This will put him right back there. And Dean stands more to gain from this than Bush does.

[RamboLiberal]

15. Get the Popcorn and Beer - this is getting good

Thank you Chimpy! We've got the Dems primed and ready to kick you ass back to Crawford.

[KansDem]

17. Uh-oh...!

A USA Today/CNN/Gallup poll now puts Bush at seven percentage points ahead of Kerry.

That's down 4 points since the Time/Newsweek poll reported Friday that had * leading Kerry 52-41.

I also like this statement:
Bush emerged from the Labor Day weekend with a new sense of momentum in his campaign.

Yeah, right... :eyes:

I smell desperation at the GOP...

[Demobrat]

19. I wish

Kerry would embrace the stance Dean ran on. Maybe then we wouldn't be looking at four more miserable years in Iraq, minimum.

[The_Casual_Observer]

21. chimp has run out material on Kerry and can't talk about the issues

and so on to Dean!

chimp has to keep up a constant misdirection scheme going on or otherwise somebody might just ask him why he has done such a shitty job.

[Justitia]

22. Did Shrub just invite Gov Dean to a DUEL?????

Bush is even stupider than I imagined possible.

Let Howard off the leash to give him a serious ass kicking.

Go get 'em doc!!!

[Rose Siding]

34. Yesterday Dean said Cheney needs a brain transplant and Zell

is early stages of Alzheimer's. There's been no leash involved, but he could use a nat'l mic!

[Cha]

38. Did he really? Whoa! No wonder the

bushtard had to use rail on Dean!

[agingdem]

23. And...

that's a bad thing?

[Lugnut]

24. Hoo boy!

Great move Shrubbery! :evilgrin:

[stickdog]

25. What's the matter, W? Did Kerry's new slogan make you

ANGRY???

[livinginphotographs]

26. Hmm.

And this is bad because....?

What a moron. Dean would've tore King George a new ass in a debate, and all he's doing is inviting Dean to do exactly that.

And I'm get tired of this reference to Dean "imploding." He didn't implode, he just didn't get enough votes.

[sampsonblk]

29. Good!

Gov Dean is one of the best punchers in our party. Better to have Bush arguing with Dean than to have Kery arguing with Cheney.

Plus Dean was right!

[Dr Fate]

30. Bush still shoring up his base? Swing voters barely even know who Dean is.

He might as well bring up Hillary and Barbara Striesand.

[NoBorders]

31. and this is bad because...?

I'm glad he underlined the agreement between Kerry and Dean on the war! Thanks, George!

[pinniped]

32. * thinks it's better to be linked to OBL.

Hey you make money and that's everything to these criminals.

[daleo]

33. He would be doing Kerry a favor, as far as I am concerned

I wish Kerry was against the war as forthrightly as Dean was. What is Bush's plan? Convince people Kerry is for the war, or against it?

36. You're a Republican

and you're not planning to vote for Kerry; so why are you posting on this board? Just curious.

By the way, history lesson; it was NOT DEAN Kerry was quoting from. Give ya a hint; "extending the Korean war".

[Cha]

40. What bush is "saying" are words rove gave him...

bush can't string two sentences together without sounding like a freakin' idiot!

bush's words..
