Blame Clinton, not Bush, for the mess

I am so sick and tired of Democrats whining about Bush attacking Kerry in his ads. First of all, John Kerry is the one who is constantly on Bush’s case. He and the Democrats bash Bush all the time. They say he is doing such a horrible job, but they don’t say how they would be doing any better. People say Bush lies, but the same people go out and buy a notorious liar’s book – former President Bill Clinton.

I think the Clinton administration is to blame for the terrorism mess. If it had done its job and had been more involved in stopping terrorism, 9/11 could have been prevented. Now the Bush administration has to deal with the mess Clinton left behind.

John Kerry is not the Vietnam hero he says he is. He abandoned his platoon so he could “act against” the war in the U.S., and his purple hearts were not given to him rightfully. John Kerry turned his back on America once and I’m afraid he will do it again. He is a two-faced coward. Bill Clinton and John Kerry are both hypocrites and contradict themselves every time they speak. I hope America has enough sense left to vote against Kerry in the next election.

Thank Clinton for the mess, but thank God for Bush.
