Kerry, Edwards say Bush exploiting values

NEW YORK (AP) - Democratic candidates John Kerry and John Edwards, on the campaign trail together just three days, suggested Friday that President Bush was emphasizing values for political gain and criticized the Republican administration's investigation of former Enron executive Ken Lay.
"I understand that President Bush is going to be out today as he does every day talking about values," Edwards said. "Values is not a word on a piece of paper. Values is not part of a political slogan. Values are what's inside you."

Taking over, Kerry added, "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."

"I grew up in a small town in North Carolina. I know something about values," Edwards said. He praised "middle-class working Americans" who "are struggling to get by" to better themselves and provide for their families.

"They represent the values of America. Not Enron. Not Ken Lay, who it's now taken the Bush administration over three years to indict," Edwards said. "We need somebody in the White House who shares the values that most Americans believe in."

2. "Values are what's inside you"

For some reason that is a very powerful statement.

It makes you think of what hollow men Cheney and Bush are and how full of conviction Kerry and Edwards are.

3. everytime I hear * speak of shared values I cringe. . .

like anyone is anti-family. . .

More importantly what has * been shown not to value. . .
the environment, the surplus, the international court, the rule of law, habeus corpus, the Geneva Convention, historical precedent, our integrity, our allies, world opinion, dissent, freedom of speech, transparency. . .

I could go on but. . .oh I forgot

"Bush is a man of Gawd."
