Using inflammatory, loaded words like "lie", "lying", "liar", etc. may appeal to Kerry supporters, but it tends to repulse undecideds and marginal Bush supporters. (I don't think that's what Kerry wants to do is it? Doesn't he want to convince those people?)

To Bush's discredit, he didn't respond to the question. He responded by saying that Kerry flip-flops. He didn't answer any of the allegations. Big mistake.
Yeah, I noticed that too. It's a politician/campaign thing. :shrug:
