Rhetoric vs. Truth: Kerry’s Latest Ad Doesn’t Add Up

By Matt Margolis | February 25, 2004

John Kerry’s latest ad, which began airing in Georgia today, features one of Kerry’s favorite political props, Max Cleland. It’s a really shallow ad with no substance.

It begins with Cleland speaking about Kerry:

John Kerry is the guy that can change this country. John is a fighter. He’s experienced, he has character, he has courage.

He’s a fighter?

If he’s so much of a fighter, why did he whine about his Senate record being scrutinized? I haven’t heard any convincing defense of his past votes – all I (and all of us) have heard is Kerry whimper about his “patriotism” being attacked. Is that the actions of a “fighter?” I don’t think so.

He’s experienced?

Some experience. He’s voted against our defense and intelligence throughout his Senate career and his overall voting record makes Ted Kennedy look like the conservative Senator from Massachusetts. Is that “experience” anyone would want to run on?

He has character?

Well, at least someone can see Kerry’s “character” because I can’t.

He has courage?

Courage? Is courage whining about his record being criticized adnd accusing Bush of attacking his patriotism courage? John Kerry doesn’t want his record to be criticized because he is a coward.

He stands head and shoulders above anybody else running for President. He understands that we need a strong economy, we need America at work.

I think Cleland needs to open his eyes. Has he seen what has happened since Bush’s tax cuts went through? Unemployment went down. Jobs starting being created again, and we got out of the Clintonian recession. Bush has a far superior understanding of the need for a strong economy and the need for Americans to be working than John Kerry has.

John Kerry’s the one man that I would put my trust in to make this country safer.

Why? Because in the Senate he’s voted against the military, against our intelligence, against our defense… How does his record translate into trust for making this country safer?

He’s been tested on the battlefield, he’s been tested in the United States Senate, and now he’s ready to be President of the United States.

Tested on the battlefield and in the United States Senate? Has Cleland looked at Kerry’s record? Kerry’s record in the Senate shows complete lack of support for those who go into the battlefield!

A real lousy ad Kerry. The rhetoric doesn’t have any truth to support it.

    Man that was primitive:
    “Well, at least someone can see Kerry’s character because I can’t.”
    There is no explication why he has no character. Nothing makes sense in this post! I know you will delete my comment (it’t bad for the propaghanda) but i really must say: if you say something you have to give a proof for that - otherwise its just… nothing!
