Learning to dislike Kerry
Byron York:
...
" In a Gallup Poll taken in mid-February, 45 percent of those surveyed said the phrase 'stands up to special-interest groups' applies to President Bush, while 44 percent said it applies to Sen. Kerry (D-Mass.).
"Of course, that’s a virtual tie, but one would think that after months of Kerry’s tough talk about fighting those 'powerful interests' in Washington, people would get the message.
...
" Finally, on the simple question of whether voters have a favorable or unfavorable impression of the candidate — whether they like him or not — Kerry came out with a 60 percent favorable rating to Bush’s 56 percent.
"The president’s much-discussed ad campaign starts today. There will, of course, be lots of positive images of George W. Bush as a leader.
"But if it’s true that the more people get to know Kerry, the more they dislike him, the Bush campaign has a pretty simple job: Help voters get to know Kerry.
...
" While it might seem stunning to regular viewers of Fox, CNN and MSNBC, most people don’t know much about Kerry’s Senate votes against a wide array of weapons systems — many of which are now being used in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere.
"They don’t know much about his crusade to cut the intelligence services in the mid-1990s.
"They don’t know much about his inexplicable decision to vote against Gulf War I and for Gulf War II — and then against Gulf War II reconstruction."
When they do know him they should not like him.
