1. Inasmuch as John Kerry served in Vietnam, any negative reference to John Kerry's voting record during his 19 years in the Senate of the United States shall be deemed to be an attack on Kerry's patriotism.

2. Any images of Vietnam used in Kerry campaign commercials are not only appropriate, but serve as proof positive of John Kerry's fitness to serve the country as its president.

3. Any images of 9/11 used in Bush campaign commercials are not only inappropriate and exploitive, but shall also serve as proof positive that George Bush is unfit to serve the country as its president.

4. Any group of people who support the reelection of George Bush shall be deemed a "special interest." Any group of people who support the campaign of John Kerry shall be deemed a "constituency."

5. Kerry is not going to "raise taxes" - he's going to "roll back the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy"

6. Kerry's attack on his fellow soldiers during the Vietnam war was not treason, or giving aid to the enemy. Likewise, Kerry's flip-flop on the war in Iraq, and attack on the war while soldiers are still on the ground is not demoralizing to the troops and is not using the war in his political interests. Bush, on the other hand, started the war purely for political gain.

7. Kerry volunteering for coastal patrol at a time when it was a relatively safe assignment, and bugging out after his third no-time-lost-from-duty injury is heroic. Bush volunteering for fighter jets that would most likely have taken him to Vietnam, but being turned down for lack of experience, is not heroic.

8. Bush must open his war records and medical records to prove that he showed up in Alabama. Kerry does not have to open his war records and medical records to prove that his wounds were not superficial and that his medals were not awarded in bad faith.
