Kerry, Edwards Blast Bush on Values

[Blackaxe]

BECKLEY, W.Va. - Democrats John Kerry and John Edwards on Friday questioned President Bush's claim on values, arguing that the administration's slow-speed pursuit of former Enron chief Kenneth Lay hardly amounted to American values.

Campaigning together for the third day, Kerry and Edwards focused on values in New York appearances and criticized Bush for overtaxing the U.S. armed forces with a rush to war in Iraq and a "backdoor draft" in veteran-rich West Virginia. The two Democrats were ending the day in New Mexico.

"Values are putting the full force of the Justice Department on day one in an effort not to take three years and a few months before the election before you bring Ken Lay to justice," Kerry told a morning fund-raiser in New York.

"Values is not a word on a piece of paper, part of a political slogan," Edwards said. "Values are what's inside you."

1. John Edwards Is Family Values

He has been married to the same woman for 30 years or so.
Elizabeth risked her health to give birth to those last two children.

Yet, Senator Edwards does not feel the rest of us should be forced to live by his values. I think that takes courage to stand up for those beliefs in a very Conservative state like North Carolina.

I could go on gushing about him, but I won't.

2. this is so simple

*Co does not value the lives of our children or grandchildren

*Co does not care if our country is financially ruined by his feckless spending on unnecessary stupidity (son of star wars comes to mind)

*Co does not share the values of the working American - he gives tax cuts to the rich at the expense of the worker - doesn't care if it bankrupts SS to do so - just as Mr. Meanspin.

3. Wes Clark Got It Right. Glad Kerry Took His Lead On "Values"

4. Kerry/Edwards also defend the constitution and our freedom of speech

threatened by that hypocritical gang in the White House who want to muzzle everyone who doesn't like them.
