I like this move by the Dems:
From The Guardian
WASHINGTON (AP) - Democrats rolled out a ``Bush truth squad'' Tuesday to state the facts as they see them and challenge the president's assertions at every turn of the campaign.
Nearly 20 members of Congress, a retired general supporting John Kerry and other partisans joined in a pledge to ``tell the whole truth'' when President Bush doesn't. The facts they brought forward at their launch, however, were selective.
It comes none too soon. Sounds like they will be doing what we try to do here on dKos!
Dick Gephardt - a dog unleashed:
`For George Bush, the truth hurts,'' said Rep. Dick Gephardt of Missouri, the former presidential candidate and a member of the squad. He accused the president of demeaning Kerry's record in Congress and misrepresenting the reality on jobs, health care, the deficit and more.
Dogging the Chimp in Chief, short of using the "L" word:
The Democrats said they will challenge Bush wherever he goes, whether they appear in the same city or say something from afar. A contingent plans to set up shop in New York for the GOP convention at the end of this month, just as Republicans got in their digs from Boston during last week's Democratic convention.
Bush ``says one thing and does another,'' Texas Rep. Ciro Rodriguez, chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, said at the squad's introduction. ``He's not been a person of his word.''
RNC whines about it:
Jim Dyke, a spokesman for the Republican National Committee, dismissed the Democratic effort, arguing that Kerry has been inconsistent on Iraq and intelligence issues and the squad's ``mission has everything to do with politics and nothing to do with the truth.''
