kerryboy treason--Just 'High-Blown Rhetoric'?

Bush's re-election spokesman, Terry Holt, told Fox News Thursday that although Edwards has been saying he'll stay above the fray of dirty politics, the Southerner has been attacking Bush.

"I think his idea of positive is that he doesn't attack Dennis Kucinich (search)," Holt said, referring to the Ohio congressman who hasn't won a single race.

Holt also responded to Kerry's attacks on Bush about the handling of the war in Iraq, war on terror and other topics that highlight the New Englander's own inconsistencies.

"[Kerry] would have relied on a permission slip from the United Nations and the French" before ousting Saddam Hussein, Holt said. "Saddam Hussein is better off in prison than he was in power."

"The president has taken the war on terror to the terrorists and I think the American public supports that," he added.

Holt added that whereas Kerry has attacked Bush for not supporting military pay increases, the president has increased military pay 20 percent since taking office and Kerry himself voted for military cuts, and against meal benefits and additional body armor for U.S. troops.

"There are a lot of differences between the record of John Kerry and this high-blown rhetoric we've heard over the last few weeks," Holt said.
