Saddam was a murderer. My opponent thinks it would have been better to have him remain in power.
A: "Only in your world of spin, George. The world is obviously better off without Saddam, but in the mean time you've lost focus on our most eminent enemy, Osama Bin Laden. Your not even sure whether Osama is a priority or not."
You cannot negotiate with terrorists as my opponent apparently would.
A: "Apparently, George Bush thinks using diplomacy with our allies is the same as negotiating with terrorists. The spin is so thick here, this mis-administratiom can't tell the difference between our newest enemies and our oldest allies."
Saddam was a threat to the world. He gassed his own people and had the means to develop WMD.
A: "Saddam was a controlled threat, Osama Bin Laden is a hostile, rogue element. Faced with the choice of pursuing a controlled Saddam, or the evil man behind 9/11, George Bush believed in and bought his own spin, and made the wrong choice."
If its a question of letting a dictator stay in power and remain a threat to the world, or protecting our nation, I will choose to protect our nation every time.
A: "This administration pretends that pursuing Osama Bin Laden, the man behind the worst attack against America civilians in the history of the country, would somehow put America at greater risk. That's a complete fantasy. I don't buy it, and I don't believe America buys it either."
Our economy was recovering from the recession which began under my predecessor, but 9/11 changed everything and set it back. Our tax cuts have been working to get this economy moving upward again.
A: "All of the noise from the Republican Party's fantasy spin machine won't change the fact that under George Bush, America is shipping good paying jobs overseas, and created low paying jobs that lack essential health care benefits. If George Bush thinks that the average American was helped by his tax cuts for the wealthy, he's even more out of touch than anyone suspected."
My opponent voted for the war before he voted against it.
A: "There you spin again, George. The truth is that I voted to trust you with America's future, and you broke that trust. Worse yet, you blame me for having trusted you in the first place! It's time this administration stopped buying into its own fantasies and began accepted responsibility for their failures in Afghanistan and Iraq."
We must eliminate the soft bigotry of low expectations.
A: "I don't know if you want to do that George, it's been the spinning of those low expectations that have defined your so called succes as a president."
Since 9/11, there have been no attacks on the homeland.
A: "The worst attack on the homeland since 9/11 is the Justice Department's attack on the US Constitution through the Patriot Act. The Conventional Spin from this administration says that the only danger to our freedoms comes from overseas terrorism, but the truth is that under this administration, the tree of freedom has to first be protected right here at home."
I would rather fight the terrorists in Iraq than on Wall Street.
A: "The problem is that until the war, Iraq wasn't a terrorist stronghold, but now it is. This administration's rush to war--without a plan to win that war--created that problem, and no amount of spin can change that truth."
Iraqis and Afghans are learning to appreciate Gods gift of freedom to mankind. They don't want to go back to the past.
A: "No one wants to go back to the past, except maybe conservative Republicans...and its obvious that the Iraqi people will be better off with democracy--but that's a distraction. No one is arguing that. The real discussion, the discussion that this administration doesn't want to have, is whether or not America is safer, whether Americans are better off than they were in the past. Even through the spin, American's can see that the answer is no."
The terrorists hate us for our freedoms.
A: "Even if this were true, what does it mean? Should we give up our freedoms so that the terrorists hate us less? Is that the future that George Bush wants for America? I say we can do better."
My opponent served his country honorably in Viet Nam. He means well.
A: "More than that George, I know better because my service in Viet Nam taught me better. I know better than to rush the United States into a war without a plan to win, I know better than to create a fantasy world of spin and lies to justify that rush to war, and I know better than to lose focus on who are your true friends and enemies. My opponent also served his country honorably. Why doesn't he know better?
