McAuliffe: Democrats Not Aiding Protesters
Associated Press Writer Erica Werner in Washington


WASHINGTON (AP) - Democratic Party chief Terry McAuliffe says his party doesn't need to help the thousands of protesters who will descend on New York in anticipation of next week's Republican National Convention.

He says President Bush's policies provide all the inspiration they need. ..

``We have nothing to do with the demonstrators. Republicans know that,'' McAuliffe said. ``If they can link us to a bunch of lawbreakers, they think people will not pay attention to the promises they've broken.''

To the protesters, McAuliffe said: ``Please let the Republicans have a great time, let them speak, let them go to their big corporate parties.'' ..

1. Repukes are so one track minded
just because the Democratic Party is Anti-Iraqi War (conveniently forgetting Kerry voted in favor of it) Pro-labor and Pro-choice and many of the demonstrators are too, of course this is sanctioned by the DNC. I suppose they will try and claim the anarchists are just 'wild eyed' Kerry supporters. :puke:

2. I hope they keep the pressure on the bush cowardice
I hope the protesters taunt bush enough to smoke him out of hiding so Americans can really see the true character of the man that talks tough and hides behind others, including God to cover up the negative effects his poor decisions. The bush team uses "Character" as their main issue, everything else doesn't matter because the bush coward claims he is a man of character. It's time Americans learn this man that claims to have character and is currently supporting the smear campaign to destroy the character of John Kerry is truly a man of no moral character, he is a coward that hides behind others. There are a lot of issues protesters can complain about, but unless they unite and force the "character" issue and smoke the coward bush out of hiding they will be portrayed as a bunch of wackos. However, if they manage to smoke the bush coward out of hiding and facing America concerning the current smear campaign against John Kerry's character. it's not about Vietnam, it's about character, but the only way out is to force the bush coward to stand up like man and discuss what he did during those years.
