5/23 So what do you think about Kerry delaying his nomination until long
after his tax payer funded nomination? What would you think if Bush
did the same thing for the same reason?
\_ Is this a hypothetical? Because Bush can't...the RNC is after the
DNC.
\_ No, it's been all over the news for 2-3 days. Kerry is
seriously considering doing this so he can raise more private
cash. The RNC *can* delay exactly the same as the DNC if they
want, but that's beside the point. I only mention that to put
it in perspective for the knee-jerkers.
\_ It's going to be a close election, so Kerry has recently (a)
tried to talk Nader out of it early and (b) wanted to schedule
the nomination date the same as Bush, so they are both restricted
to federal funding at the same time. Sounds fine to me.
Kerry isn't the one misusing the material witness provision,
getting it so wrong on intelligence, and paying in American
credibility on an undermanned war. If Bush didn't do any of these
things, and just extended the nomination to match the Democrats, it
wouldn't be a big deal to me.
\_ Kerry is using tax payer dollars to have a party. The
convention is supposed to result in a nomination. If they want
to move the whole convention back, that's fine but this is
ridiculous. Your anti-bush rhetoric has nothing to do with
this thread's topic. |
