Why not to vote for Bush - VII
As a final reason: remember that he is very good at twisting (or outright changing) the meaning of his opponent’s, or everyone else’s, words:
“Every performer tonight in their own way, either verbally or through their music, through their lyrics, have conveyed to you the heart and soul of our country.” — Kerry, July 8
“The other day, my opponent said he thought you could find the heart and soul of America in Hollywood.” — Bush, Aug. 18
“Yes, I would have voted for the authority [to use force in Iraq]. I believe it is the right authority for a president to have. But I would have used that authority, as I have said throughout this campaign, effectively. I would have done this very differently from the way President Bush has. My question to President Bush is: Why did he rush to war without a plan to win the peace? Why did he rush to war on faulty intelligence and not do the hard work necessary to give America the truth?” — Kerry, Aug. 9
“He now agrees it was the right decision to go into Iraq. After months of questioning my motives, and even my credibility, the Massachusetts senator now agrees with me that even though we have not found the stockpiles of weapons we all believed were there, knowing everything we know today, he would have voted to go into Iraq and remove Saddam Hussein from power.” — Bush, Aug. 18
