"Back in Massachusetts, that's what they call balancing the ticket."

Invoking a recent study by National Journal, Bush poked fun at the selection of Edwards. "Senator Kerry is rated as the most liberal member of the Senate, and he chose a fellow lawyer who is the fourth most liberal member of the Senate. Back in Massachusetts, that's what they call balancing the ticket."

I'm seriously getting sick of Bush bashing my state, apparently the state was just fine for him when he attended high school here in Mass. at the private boarding school Phillips Academy in Andover. :grr::grr:

in a prestigious boarding school you're bound to look down on those who once looked down on you.

3. Phillips Academy

*How* that dimbulb ever got into Phillips, I'll never know. Actually, I do know, Poppy bought his son's way in. He's never had to work for anything in his life!

2. They have no positive message

They have a record to run from. Hate is not a platform, it's a failure to achieve a platform.
