Bush trying to make Kerry cry, "Uncle" with Swift Boat ads.
The Bush campaign has been upset from the beginning of this campaign that their war chest was being matched by 527s who lean Democratic. From the beginning they have called on Kerry to renounce these 527s and their ads. They did not like having to play on a level playing field. As Kerry did not disavow the 527s overall, but has denounced specific ads he felt were unfair towards Bush, or others, the Bush administration seems to have decided to put together the most outlandish, most hurtful ads against John Kerry by creating their own 527 - the Swift Boat Veterans. Everytime John Kerry has asked Bush to denounce the lies put forth by this group in their ads, Bush says Kerry should denounce ALL 527s. Effectively, 527s can not put forth an opinion in Kerry's favor. If they do, right wing 527s will lie on Kerry and there is nothing he can do about it.

Bush is simply saying, "Cry 'Uncle,' Kerry. I don't want you to have supporters with money."

1. Yes. Bush is a bully. Kerry, however, eats bullies.
And his wife serves them with ketchup.
