WASHINGTON, DC -- U.S. Senator Kit Bond (R-MO) and U.S. Senator Jim Talent (R-MO) issued the following statement regarding John Kerry's visit to Independence, Missouri:
"Harry Truman loved to play poker, but John Kerry can't come to Independence and bluff his way through his record of indecisiveness and defense budget cuts. Harry Truman is known for the sign on his desk that read 'The Buck Stops Here.' When Truman made a decision, he stood by it. John Kerry sees major decisions as opportunities to advance his political career," said Bond.
"I have the honor of serving in Missouri’s Senate seat which was formally held by President Truman. America won the Cold War in part because President Truman set a tone of clarity and decisiveness at the outset of the conflict, just as President Bush has done in the War on Terror. President Truman developed the ultimately successful policy of containing communism that led to the fall of the Berlin Wall, and President Bush has boldly led by choosing to confront terrorist threats before they gather. Sen. Kerry has voted to cut defense and intelligence programs that are vital to fighting and winning the War on Terror," said Talent.
Take that, Lerch.
BTTT
Hurrah for Bond and Jim Talent!!
Is it just me, or have the Republicans on the whole finally decided to stand and fight? Granted, there's room for improvement but I sense a big change from the deer-in-the-headlights routine.

It looks like two Senators have found their stones...be nice if the Senate leadership would find theirs...
Bump to that. Even Cong. Hastert has been getting it on. So where's our bigshot doctor majority leader? I thought surgeons were supposed to be able to cut to the heart of the matter.
"The Kerry campaign enlisted Rep. Ike Skelton, the ranking Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, to announce Kerry's Missouri visit in a conference call with reporters.
Skelton acknowledged that Kerry was his third choice in the Democratic primary, having first backed Missouri Rep. Dick Gephardt and then North Carolina Sen. John Edwards."
