Yep... by disowning the Swifties, Bush boosts their credibility. Relax guys, the President knows what he's doing and he plays politics on a level the Kerry Campaign amateurs can't even begin to comprehend. He made it clear he doesn't like negative politics, period and the Kerry Campaign is welcome to take the high road. They won't, which makes them look small and politically craven. Good move there in Crawford, Texas.

Even if it strategically serves him well, I believe it is fundamentally wrong and harmful to the free speech principles this coutry used to stand for. All that clause in the First Amendment seems to protect these days is worthless trash like virtual kiddie porn. Which is worse, the Swiftboat vets speaking their mind about Kerry or virtual kiddie porn?

"Negative politics" is nothing more than the right to criticize politicians. You do not have to like it or agree with it, but do you really think it should be banned?
