HUNTINGTON, W.Va., Sept. 10 (UPI) -- The White House said Friday the Kerry campaign and Democrats were coordinating attack campaigns on President Bush to reverse low poll standings.
The latest flap over Bush's National Guard service, in which possibly forged documents critical of Bush were given to CBS News, could be just the beginning in an assault in which Democrats would "throw the kitchen sink," White House spokesman Scott McClellan said.
"One thing that is clear is the timing and the coordination going on here," he said. "There is an orchestrated effort by Democrats and the Kerry campaign to tear down the president because of the direction the polls are moving.
"The Democrats are determined to throw the kitchen sink at us, and I suspect this is just the beginning."
The documents were purportedly from the personal files of Bush's former commander in the National Guard. They indicated Bush had disobeyed an order and was using influence to shirk duty. Democrats jumped on the allegations and accused Bush of lying about his service.
Kerry's is behind Bush 7 points in latest polling as Bush hammers him over changing political positions and anti-Kerry Vietnam veterans attack on Kerry's over alleged fabrications of his war record and for his anti-war activism.
