Those same people have said they think Kerry would be much better than Bush, and you don't have to take their words out of context to get that message.

Isn't it funny how quickly they rush to defend their own kind?

No need to take their words out of context - their criticisms were valid at the time - no? Or are you saying their criticisms weren't credible?

First of all, they are already out of context when you take comments they made in comparing themselves to Kerry and use them to compare Kerry to Bush.
Secondly, they are opinions, so I don't understand your comment about credibility.
Thirdly, voters in most states have not agreed with the those opinions or at least found them compelling, as demonstrated by the election results.
Fourthly, these kind of comments are nothing new in primary politics, in fact they are extremely mild in comparison to such utterances in past campaigns, remember who used the phrase "voodoo economics" ?
Fifthly, comments made by politicians that lose elections disappear into the ether very quickly, there is nothing here that will make any difference in the race upcoming.

Maybe Gephardt is a friend to family farmers, though I doubt it, since he is a politician. Maybe Kerry is not a friend to family farmers, maybe he is, Gephardt's unbacked statement may or may not be true. Regardless, Bush is not a friend to family farmers, though he does appeal to rednecks in general for various reasons including mostly machoism and jingoism.
http://dir.salon.com/politics/feature/2000/11/14/sc_pols/index.html"We play it different down here," one of Bush's top South Carolina advisors told Time magazine in February. "We're not dainty, if you get my drift. We're used to playin' rough."
Indeed. Push polls attacked McCain's personal life and exaggerated his role in the Keating savings and loan scandal. Leaflets slammed his wife, Cindy, for her past addiction to painkillers. An e-mail from a Bob Jones University professor accused McCain of fathering children out of wedlock. A mysterious public action committee in favor of the Confederate flag -- called "Keep it Flying" -- sprang up overnight and slammed McCain in 250,000 leaflets.
"Sampley ... accused McCain of being a weak-minded coward who had escaped death by collaborating with the enemy. Sampley claimed that McCain had first been compromised by the Vietnamese, then recruited by the Soviets.
In 1992, Sampley wrote a long article that portrayed McCain as a "Manchurian candidate," who had betrayed America to the North Vietnamese and then enlisted as a secret Communist agent. But it wasn't until seven years later that the celebrated Navy pilot and ex-POW found out how much damage such smears could inflict. After McCain declared his presidential candidacy in 1999, Sampley revived the "Manchurian candidate" smear as a convenient weapon for the Senator's political enemies. Some of them, including the prominent conservative Paul Weyrich and Richard Mellon Scaife's Newsmax Web site, didn't hesitate to pick up the slimy stuff generated by Sampley. The fringe assault on McCain, amplified by the likes of Weyrich and talk radio, caused grave injury to his campaign during the pivotal South Carolina primary.
