Kerryâs Wife calls Cheney Unpatriotic
Theresaâs mouth is Wâs secret weapon. Her whacko-lefty causes need to be exposed along with her tax returnsPresident Bushâs campaign on Friday criticized the wife of Democratic candidate John Kerry for calling Vice President Dick Cheney "unpatriotic" while defending her husbandâs service in Vietnam against critics who had avoided the military. "This political line of attack is offensive and should be stopped," Bush-Cheney campaign chairman Marc Racicot said in a statement. Although they have questioned Kerryâs Senate votes on defense and foreign policy, neither Bush nor Cheney has commented personally on his service in the Navy during the Vietnam War. Bush served stateside in the Texas Air National Guard during the war while Cheney received five deferments from military service. In an interview with Telemundo, NBCâs Spanish-language network, Teresa Heinz Kerry said, "To have a couple of people, who escaped four, five, six times and deferred and deferred and deferred calling him anything regarding his service is in and of itself unpatriotic. Unpatriotic." NBCâs "Nightly News" aired part of the interview Thursday. Said Racicot: "Every time the discussion focuses on John Kerryâs Senate record of voting against weapons systems, voting against support for troops in the field or his positions on both sides of critical questions of national security, his campaign falsely claims that his patriotism is being attacked."
