This ad is hard-hitting and effective.
Kerry can't dispute his own words, if given wide-spread play will be devastating. I wish they had led their campaign with this ad, along with a picture of Kerry that is in the N. Vietnam museum if indeed that is the case.
Bush just needs to come out with a statement that this election isn't about what he or Kerry did or didn't do thirty plus years ago, but by what they are doing now and will do in the next 4 years to protect America. He hereby distances himself from what the Dems are portraying as a personal attack of lies (it doesn't matter that it isn't) yet will do nothing to silence the Vets for Truth.
Then show Kerry's efforts to limit the military and intelligence gathering. Show again his being absent from all the Senate Intelligence committee meetings in the wake of 911. '
Let us hope the American people are more intelligent than they were by giving us Clinton for 8 years.....and don't you know Hillary is orgasmic (is that possible) over Kerry's ongoing difficulty with the truth brought to light by those who witnessed his actions and his subsequent embellishments and lies for political gain.
What's the DNC reaction to this whole thing? They've started attacking Bush's Guard service again! It's like a circular firing squad.
If Kerry keeps it up the Vets won't have to buy commercials since they are getting all this free newstime. I can't remember a time in politics when your opponent went to court to stop a commercial. If the ad were false he is given enough air time to respond. The idea this guy is trying to portray himself as a war hero for shooting someone in the back on a 4 month tour, and essentially using that as his credentials to lead our country is LUDICROUS. He missed so many votes in Congress which speaks volumes as to his real intent, get himself elected at any cost even if it means your present job which you were elected to and have constituents waiting for your help but you are nowhere to be found, just with Teresa (I really wonder about that plane crash, just so convienent to switch parties and FINANCE the opposition's candidate for president).....I SMELL A RAT
