Possible ad to fight back on Bush's claims about Kerry's defense cuts
Edited on Tue Mar-09-04 01:03 AM by zulchzulu
An ad to fight back at the Chimpsters could be this copy or possibly the actual speech that Papa Bush made:



"After completing 20 planes for which we have begun procurement, we will shut down further production of the B-2 bomber.

We will cancel the small ICBM program. We will cease production of new warheads for our sea-based ballistic missiles.

We will stop all new production of the Peacekeeper missile. And we will not purchase any more advanced cruise missiles. …

The reductions I have approved will save us an additional $50 billion over the next five years. By 1997 we will have cut defense by 30 percent since I took office."

-President George H.W. Bush
State of the Union address, Jan. 28, 1992

1. And there you have one of the reasons why Bush 41 lost in '92.
Hardcore conservatives hate to cut defense budgets.
