You need quicktime to view it.

On a serious note: Does any politician in America actually fight elections in the issues? I see a lot of personal attacking from both sides, but the closest I have seen to any fighting on the issues is John Kerry saying he does/does not (delete as applicable) support the war.
Bush: We all know where he stands on all issues. He does not make it a secret. He does not negotiate. You can call up any issue and I will tell you exactly where he stands.

He does not need to show people what his policies are. We already know. That gives him the ability to critisize Kerry's positions.

Bush has several ads that bring up Kerry's voting record to inform people of what he did. For example, this one:

People that support Kerry in these actions would not take it as a negative ad.

This one is a little more on the offense, critisizing Kerry for missing 2/3 of all Senate votes. I mean, what kind of a person can miss 2/3 of his work and still be employed???

If this isn't attacking issues, then I don't know what is:

The problem with Kerry is, that apart from his voting record in the Senate, we have NO IDEA what his positions are.

Can anyone tell me here: did he support the war, or not? What is his stance on abortion? And, what is his stance on taxes?
