Kerry Takes the High Road
“In the increasingly nasty and bitter presidential contest, the Bush-Cheney campaign continued their hard-edged assault on Vietnam veteran John Kerry, accusing the decorated war hero of jeopardizing American security by casting votes that were, quote ‘soft on defense,’ end quote. Similar attacks on the Senator’s patriotism have become a key part of the GOP’s down-and-dirty campaign agenda in recent days. For his part, Senator Kerry has taken the high road, preferring to run an issue-oriented campaign that stresses problems like massive unemployment, America’s mounting war dead and the alienation of our closest allies, all of which he blames on the radicalism and ineptitude of the current administration.”
