MANCHESTER, N.H. - John Edwards (news - web sites) accused President Bush (news - web sites)'s re-election campaign of lying in television ads about John Kerry (news - web sites)'s Vietnam War service and his plan to reform health care.

"They will absolutely lie about anything," the Democratic vice presidential candidate said Monday at a rally in Victory Park attended by hundreds of well-wishers.

A Bush health care ad claims that Kerry would put health care decisions in the hands of government "bureaucrats" at a cost of $1.5 trillion. Independent analysts estimate the cost at $895 billion over 10 years, which Kerry says he would pay for by repealing Bush's tax cuts for the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans.

Edwards said Monday that Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites) have been consistent — but consistently wrong. "He will never admit he's done anything wrong," Edwards said of Bush. "They've made a lot of mistakes, and our troops and our taxpayers are paying for that right now."

Republicans lie about as often as normal people tell the truth. It's just natural to them. John Edwards rocks.
