New Kerry Ad Exposes Growing Bush Credibility Gap
“Once again, George Bush is misleading America”
Washington, DC – In response to the false charges made in Bush’s latest round of negative television ads, the Kerry campaign released a new ad exposing Bush’s growing credibility gap.
The 30-second spot discusses how yet again the President is misleading the American people, except this time on John Kerry’s record. The ad sets the record straight about Kerry’s plan to cut taxes for middle class Americans, protect American jobs, get health care costs under control and cut the deficit to put the nation back on track. The ad will run in 16 states, including: Maine, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Iowa, New Mexico, Oregon, Wisconsin, Florida, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, Nevada, West Virginia, Arizona, Arkansas, and Ohio.
“We are determined to make this campaign about real issues facing Americans, like making health care affordable, improving education and getting our economy back on track,” said Kerry Campaign Manager, Mary Beth Cahill. “But when the Bush Campaign misrepresents John Kerry’s record or his plans for the future, we will not hesitate to set the record straight.”
Text of Ad:
Announcer: Once again, George Bush is misleading America. John Kerry has never called for a $900 billion dollar tax increase… He wants to cut taxes for the middle class. Doesn’t America deserve more from its president than misleading negative ads?
John Kerry will crack down on the export of American jobs…get health care costs under control…and cut the deficit.
John Kerry: I’m John Kerry and I approved this message because we need to do what’s right for America’s economy.
Announcer: John Kerry. A new direction for America.

Bush Cheney '04 Response to Kerry Ad
“The ad is a futile attempt to obscure the fact that John Kerry’s new spending proposals would result in a tax hike for all Americans. The only mystery that remains is exactly how much every American will have to pay to cover the tab.”
