what an opening for kerry. gopheads have already attacked kerry on the 'nuisance' comment, and i'm sure george won't be far behind. of course there are various ways for john to reply to george when he mentions it, but here's mine...
the president wants you to believe that i said that terrorism was a nuisance. if the president ACTUALLY READ THE NEWSPAPERS, he'd know that nothing could be further from the truth. if he needs a copy of the new york times, i'll gladly provide him one. i clearly said that we must WIN the war on terror, SO THAT WE CAN REACH THE POINT that we are not living in constant fear of another devastating attack. the president is criticizing me for wanting to win the war on terror and returning america to the relative calm we used to know. the president wants to keep you afraid, i want to KEEP YOU SAFE. mr president, if you see no shame in twisting my words around to try and score a political advantage, the american people will see no shame in returning you to crawford, texas on november 2nd. the american people deserve the truth, mr president, and despite what you think, two plus two does not, has never, and will never equal five.
