Biggest missed opportunity for Kerry:
Edited on Thu Oct-14-04 04:04 AM by fishface
Schieffer asked Kerry:

You know, many experts say that a president really doesn't have much control over jobs. For example, if someone invents a machine that does the work of five people, that's progress. That's not the president's fault.
So I ask you, is it fair to blame the administration entirely for this loss of jobs?

Kerry answered then smirk started talking about the tax cuts his gave.(see below)


All Kerry had to do was say

"Mister President, a tax cut doesn't help any American that has lost his job".


---------------------
Smirks answer:
You know, he talks to the workers. Let me talk to the workers.

You've got more money in your pocket as a result of the tax relief we passed and he opposed.

If you have a child, you got a $1,000 child credit. That's money in your pocket.

If you're married, we reduced the marriage penalty. The code ought to encourage marriage, not discourage marriage.

We created a 10 percent bracket to help lower-income Americans. A family of four making $40,000 received about $1,700 in tax relief.

It's your money. The way my opponent talks, he said, We're going to spend the government's money. No, we're spending your money. And when you have more money in your pocket, you're able to better afford things you want.

I believe the role of government is to stand side by side with our citizens to help them realize their dreams, not tell citizens how to live their lives.

My opponent talks about fiscal sanity. His record in the United States Senate does not match his rhetoric.

He voted to increase taxes 98 times and to bust the budget 277 times.

2. I don't know how Kerry is able to
keep track of all of *'s failure, his mind must be working on overload. He is debating the worst president in modern history, I'm amazed he has been able to keep up with the daily lies and destruction of this administration.

3. One thing you'll never hear from the Kerry camp
is that he knows so much it made him stupid like Dick Morris claimed after the first debate to explain smirks dismal performance. :evilgrin:
