U.S. Sen. George Allen: John Kerry’s Record Not Reflective of the Priorities of Virginians

George W. Bush ^ | July 16, 2004

[RWR8189]

WASHINGTON, DC – Sen. George Allen (R-VA) issued the following statement today in regards to Sen. John Kerry’s campaign travel through Virginia:

“The citizens of the Commonwealth of Virginia are proud of their values and proud of the communities they live in and are dedicated to making their state and their country safer, stronger and more prosperous.

“John Kerry’s voting record and policy proposals are out of touch with these values and are not reflective of the priorities of Virginians. By constantly voting against tax-relief for working families, constantly advocating burdensome regulations that stifle small business growth and entrepreneurship, John Kerry has forged a Massachusetts liberal record that provides proof of an agenda that would set America on the wrong course for freedom, competitiveness, and job growth.

“America needs President Bush’s optimistic approach and positive agenda to move forward in these times of change. The last thing Virginians need or want is John Kerry’s negative brand of pessimistic politics with higher taxes and more bureaucratic government meddling and dictates.”

I keep waiting for the day when one of these leftists will tell us whose priorities Kerry does reflect.

All the left can say is "anyone but Bush", even in 1932 (possibly the easiest election for a non-incumbent to win) the father of American Marxism had a plan. FDR didn't run around merely bashing Hoover.

I don't think the left even plans to win this election, I think they just want to clear the field for Hillary in 2008.

If you were to watch the Kerry campaign ads on TV in my area of Central Virginia, you would think that Kerry is running as a Conservative Republican.

The ad says that "he (Kerry) is a family man, a hunter, a man of faith, a hockey player, a decorated Viet Nam war veteran with whatever medals besides the purple hearts...etc." The ads almost make our Congressman Virgil Goode and President Bush look like liberals in comparison.

I first thought that said "virgins"....

I saw the campaign ad's as well. I was walking through the living room when I heard it and stopped to see who they were talking about.

Was thinking I should invite "the hunter" to the range to shoot my black assualt rifle. (being sarcastic of course)

I think a large part of the left actually wants to win, but the Klintoonites will sabotage them at every opportunity for just the reason you stated. One only needs to read between the lines if the Klintoons to see that.

Isn't it funny that the libs always seem to put a conservative spin on their beliefs? It's so sad that they have nothing to offer without doing this.

Yup....I've seen those comercials...I live near Staunton, our local rag the "News Leader" is in love with John F'n Kerry.

A hockey player?

How many votes will that get for him?

Now, this is not a suggestion to the opposition, but if Kerry adds to his commercial that he is a NASCAR fan and in fact, raced go-carts and cars when he was young and aspired to be a race car driver... He could probably convince enough brain-dead voters and give the President a run for his money in these conservative parts of the Commonwealth.
