what he says and what he does

Veracity Gap?
What GWB says: According to news reports, George W. Bush yesterday said that he was not "gonna spend most of my time attacking my opponent - I've got too much good to talk about."

What GWB does: The exact same number of attacks on Kerry as reported below appear on President Bush's campaign site. This morning, I watched 2 Bush approved ads- both talked about Kerry...leaving my search for the "too much good to talk about" rather unsuccessful.
The National Review speaks to the negative campaigning from their man:

The negative side of the Bush campaign seems to be shaping up reasonably well. Republicans seem to be reaching the conclusion that they should attack Kerry less as a flip-flopper than as a liberal: Nobody is scared of flip-floppers' winning high office. They seem also to see that they can call Kerry's values into question by attacking his policies rather than his character. ...
Where, meanwhile, is the positive, substantive side of the campaign? People are noticing that the president has not presented an agenda for his second term should he be re-elected. He is being advised to unveil such an agenda on the theory that it could be attractive to voters. That is true. But it is also true that the president owes voters an explanation of what he wants to do in his second term before he asks us to support him. How does he intend to advance conservative goals during the next four years? Presumably he does not want his administration to drift the way second terms often do. But if he does not campaign on a conservative agenda now, what chance does he have of successfully acting on it later?

The major Kerry ads out right now are void of Bush attacks- and adding Edwards to the ticket, and hearing Edwards make direct comments to this effect is indicative that their campaign will try to capitalize on people's fatigue with negative campaigns. I, for one, hope it works.

Bush reportedly made his comments recently. Maybe they have not had a chance to change the webpage, and pull the negative ads. Let's hope the President stays true to his word.
