"the focus should be taken OFF VN and put on his
seate record"
Bingo. Kerry would rather defend his lies about Vietnam than talk about the reality of his voting record. What does that tell you?
He hasn't put up a defense to the Switfees allegations.
On the matter of Senate record, since the RNC is not connected with the Swiftees, it (the RNC) is free to attack Kerry on his Senate record. What are they waiting for?
