Bush ads concoct Kerry policy then pre-emptively strike against it. Bush continues to "mislead America". Bush ad takes a sharply negative turn It warns Kerry will raise taxes, weaken defense Marc Sandalow, Washington Bureau Chief Friday, March 12, 2004 Washington -- Just seven days after President Bush began running a series of upbeat television commercials to portray his leadership in a positive light, the Bush-Cheney campaign Thursday released a new ad that ominously warns of rival Sen. John Kerry's plans to raise taxes and weaken national defense. The new commercials feature a solemn female voice speaking over foreboding music, warning that in his first 100 days in office, Kerry would raise taxes "at least $900 billion'' and weaken the Patriot Act "used to arrest terrorists and protect America.'' It also asserts that Kerry "wanted to delay defending America'' by waiting for United Nations approval before waging war on Iraq. "John Kerry,'' the ad concludes. "Wrong on taxes. Wrong on defense.'' Kerry's campaign called the $900 billion figure "completely made up'' and said the other attacks were out of context. Even before the ads were aired, Kerry's aides distributed a statement saying the commercial "shows that George Bush is running a campaign of deception and distortion.'' "This president can't talk about his positive vision for America, because at each turn he has put the nation on the wrong track,'' Kerry said, as his campaign began preparing a response ad titled "Misleading America,'' according to the Associated Press. cont'd here: sfgate.com
