Bush uses weekly radio address to gay-bait Kerry, plead for re-election

Saturday, October 16, 2004 Bush uses weekly radio address to gay-bait Kerry, plead for re-election by John in DC - 10/16/2004 11:36:14 AM
A few problems here.1. What is the president doing using his weekly radio address for campaign-related activities? Where is that address recorded, using who's money? I always thought this was a presidential function and not a campaign function?2. And more importantly, suddenly, for the first time in months, Bush is suddenly discussing gay issues? This man has avoided them like the plague since the constitutional amendment went down in flames this summer. This means that the Bush campaign has decided to use that last-ditch issue, gay-baiting, to attack Kerry. Put in the context of Marygate, it's clear that the brouhaha over Mary Cheney was part of that same strategy. Bush decided it was time to play the gay card, and he is.
