Reply #20: Credibility--Luntz is right about this

[mistertrickster]

"So how does a President with a national job approval rating hovering at 50%, an economy that lost more than a million jobs over his four years in office, a war that has cost more than a thousand American lives and counting, $50 a barrel for oil, and a national mood that is downright sour still secure more than enough votes to win re-election? And what does it portend for the Republican Party in 2006?

"The answer? Credibility. George W. Bush had it. John Kerry did not."

*****
And WHY does Bush have credibility? Because the Democrats do not scream, whine, moan, cajole, and bitch about Bush's constant lying.

Every time a Democrat gets air-time, that person should be listing Bush's egregious and blatant lies. But no . . .

The man is the biggest liar we've ever had in office and Kerry's people were telling him not to be "too negative."

George Lakoff was telling them to hammer away at Bush's credibility, but Kerry and his people took the high road.

The result was another loss for the good guys.
