More Bush Lies
Only this time, he gets called on it (in the last two paragraphs):
Bush then charged Kerry with trying to turn the issue into "a political poker chip," accusing his opponent of having been on both sides of the issue. "He says he's strongly against Yucca here in Nevada," he said at a forum hosted by the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America union. "But he voted for it several times. And so did his running mate. My point to you is that, if they're going to change, one day they may change again."
Kerry, who while campaigning here this week vowed to block the site, voted in 1987 for legislation authorizing a study of the Yucca Mountain site but for the past decade has opposed making it the permanent national site for spent nuclear waste. He voted against the measure in 2002.
What's gotten into these journalists?
Not that I'm singling them out for praise. They quote Cheney's attack on Kerry's call for a 'sensitive' war and on his vote on the $87 billion bill without attempting to set the record straight. The Daily Howler has more.
