Mixed Messages

George Bush made "mixed messages" one of his mantras on Thursday night at the first debate. He hammered away with "You can't be a leader if you send mixed messages." He would do well to find another catch phrase, one that he does not embody himself.

As we all know by now, Mr. Bush is the master of mixed messages. He is the supreme flip-flopper. More flop than flip. Today's Misleader post reminds us of the statements Bush has made in regard to Osama bin Laden and the "war on terrorism." His mixed messages have been whoppers. What Bush terms as Kerry's "mixed messages" are really part of Bush's misleading ways. Kerry has not changed his basic position on the war. However, Kerry has been a thinking man who is able to make adjustments as needed. This is a very important character trait which America needs in a president. In addition, Kerry has not forgotten about Osama bin Laden, something which Bush seems to have done. Even during the debate this week, Bush wanted to talk about Saddam Hussein and had to be reminded by his opponent that it was bin Laden who attacked America on 9-11.

It was so obvious when Bush turned Osama bin Laden into Saddam Hussein almost overnight. The attacks of 9-11 were a gift to the neocons who saw that tragedy as a golden opportunity to further their agenda to spread US influence into the Middle East, one of their primary goals for more than a decade.

They are getting what they wanted now. They must be stopped.

We are tired of mixed messages and accusations of mixed messages which do not exist. The only thing we can do now is to elect John Kerry in 4 weeks. He can help us out of this nightmare. And we can help him to become one of the great presidents in our history. We must hold him accountable and support him.
