From National Review - Kerry Spot:
KERRY'S "SECRET PLAN" OBSESSION [09/27 03:26 PM]
Look at the lead paragraphs of this AP story from today:
SPRING GREEN, Wis. — Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry told voters in America's Dairyland on Monday that President Bush had a secret plan that would hurt milk producers after the election.
Kerry tried to convince voters in this rural community, where he is practicing for Thursday's debate, that he would look out for dairy farms here even though he hadn't always in the past.
In the 1990s, Kerry supported the Northeast Dairy Compact, a regional pricing program that propped up prices for Northeastern dairy farmers over objections from their Midwestern counterparts.
"We've had a difference between the Midwest and the Northeast," Kerry said. "I'm going to be very upfront with you about it.
"As a senator representing Massachusetts, I fought for the dairy compact and fought to have our dairy farmers get help," the four-term lawmaker said. "I'm running for president of the United States now and I intend to represent all the farmers of America."
I wonder if that would make a good quote for a Bush ad in New Hampshire.
Also, do you feel like you're having a hard time catching up with all of Kerry's charges of "secret plans"?
He's charged Bush with having secret plan to call up more troops after the election.
Kerry has suggested that Bush has a secret plan to bring back the draft.
Blogger Slings and Arrows is on the "secret plan" beat, and has found that Kerry has accused Bush of having secret plans to privatize Social Security, wage nuclear war, cut social services, manipulate oil prices to benefit the Saudis, cut VA Benefits, cut Education Funding, and send jobs overseas.
Meanwhile, Kerry has refused to specify some of his foreign policy and economic proposals... because they're secret, and "as president there's huge leverage that will be available to me, enormous cards to play, and I'm not going to play them in public. I'm not going to play them before I'm president."
Could this be a case of projection?
The Only Secret Plan I am concerned about is Kerry's secret plan to lose the war on terrorism.
