Reply #9: I think our response should be... [View All]

When Bush, or whoever, repeats that "Kerry didn't vote for money for the troops", we (and Kerry) should come back with "Bullshit! Of course Kerry voted to fund the troops". Leave it at that, don't explain further (at this point of the exchange), don't split hairs about different versions of the bill. Just cut and dried.

If they want to push the meme make _them_ have to hem and haw and have to explain "Wll, Kerry didn't vote for OUR VERSION of the bill".

If need be, Kerry can shoot back with "I voted for the full amount in our more reponsible version. I didn't vote for their version because..." and then explain further.

We need more memes, we need more soundbites. Not nuance, not long-winded explanations. Not at this point of the campaign.
