Kerry is going to make the McCain mistake by touting his Vietnam War record too much. People and the media are already getting sick of it.

Kerry Says He Won't Make Dukakis' Mistake

That's right. Kerry's mistakes will be a whole different animal; and legendary in scale.

[Quick Shot]

Ok... then he's a Vietnam vet "Massachusetts liberal"

[muawiyah]

Kerry is incapable of overcoming the "Dukakis" type of mistake because he is, in fact, suffering from Stockholm Syndrome when it comes to the commies, leftwingers and Liberals.

[longtermmemmory]

Kerry already made his dukakis tank mistake by putting his own hecklers into the stands.

The demcrat party is not moving to the left they are running left. The mass decisions leaves no where for the democrat party to hide. The modern democrat party stands for socialism, they can not hide that or "move to the center" out of that.

He did however say that if his wife were brutally murdered that he wouldn't mind his children being raised by a gay married couple.

We Southerns love our War Heroes. However we don't"cotton" up to Benedict Arnold type traitors who besmirch theie fellow soldiers as "baby-killers and throw somebody else medals over a fence in mock protest.

Bushhas made some serious mistakes but he is blessed by his enemies'choice of leadership.

This guy has a more leftist voting record than Ted Kennedy, and he calls himself "mainstram?"

[John Jorsett]

This week, George Bush and the Republican smear machine have trotted out the same old tired lines of attack that they've used before to divide this nation and to evade the real issues before us.

Like the "Bush was AWOL" story just sprang from the ground spontaneously? Democrats are the Sultans of Smear.

[pittsburgh gop guy]

KERRY WAS DUKAKIS' LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR!!!!!!!!!

[N. Theknow]

Pretty hard to not make a mistake that has already been made.

[ClearCase_guy]

Bring it on! Do you like my sound-bite? Pretty cool, huh? I stole it from President Bush.

When he says it, he sounds like a dumb Texan. When I say it, I sound manly.
When he says it, he sounds like a cowboy. When I say it, I sound decisive.
When he says it, he sounds like he means it. When I say, I sound like an effete liar.

"In his Virginia remarks, Kerry said Democrats represent the mainstream"

That's assuming that the mainstream is now socialist. Trouble is, one can make a good case for exactly that.

Kerry is quite vicious in his remarks about GW. I notice that most Democrats, from entertainers to businessmen to politicians are the same way. I suspect that may not play that well with the public, but am not sure.

[SierraWasp]

He cain't hep himsef! He's already a cross between MaCarthy/Moandale and Dukakis!!!

[shrinkermd]

I watched the Chris Wallace interview on Fox News Sunday with Kerry. Kerry is an unsubtle dominating personality who has groomed himself (and continues to groom himself) by speaking on both sides of many issues while adhering to a surrepitous liberal agenda.

Just calling him a liberal will not help much. What will help is pointing out that what he says and what he does are two different things. The slogan could be, "don't watch where his mouth goes but do watch where his feet goes." People hate inconsistent, unpredictable politicians. Picturing Kerry in this fashion over time will result in his acting and saying outrageous things in order to terminate the discussion of his actions.

**Kerry Says He Won't Make Dukakis' Mistake**

I hate to tell you this, Kerry, but your mistake is being from and serving as Lieutenant Governor of the state of Masssachusetts! LOL!

[tkathy]

GWB is not going to make his father's mistakes, either. This is going to be the dirtiest bloodiest election ever.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Kerry's never served on an aircraft carrier.

Never been close to one.

Might never have ever even been on board one!

[mombonn]

I'm beginning to detest this creep.

[KC_Conspirator]

The Massachusetts senator, under fire from White House allies, sought to assure Democrats that he won't repeat mistakes of 1988 Democratic nominee Michael Dukakis, who responded cautiously to George H.W. Bush's assertions that he was a Massachusetts liberal.

Uh no, thats not what happened. What happened was that the truth came out about Dukakis and the people rejected him. It came out that he was against the Pledge of Allegiance, The truth came out that he would coddle the hypothetical rapist of his wife. The only person who honestly looked at his record and says, "Kerry's going to have a big problem" is Mort Kondracke.
