Check out the latest GOP ads:
- One on Kerry's AWOL from the intelligence committee, being away 3/4s of the time, trying to cut intel spending.
- Another on Kerry's *hundreds* of votes to raise taxes.
yes, 351 votes to raise taxes.
And also, the 'flipper' Kerry on Iraq video:

I agree, we should be hammering Kerry as a Liberal from massachusetts. It's what he is.
What is helpful with the swift vets is not to 'prove' he did something awful in Vietnam (he didnt), but to show that Kerry was/is abusing his service for political/personal gain. As such, it neutralizes Kerry's #1 talking point. Kerry cant wrap himself in his service to be immune on foreign policy questions.
There is nothing you said here that I disagree with. But, I am sick and tired of each and every time that the stinking socialists accuse a conservative or republican of something, the danged people run for the hills, get weak spined, etc. I am sick of them giving in. They need to grow a backbone. The Bush campaign has said time and time again that Bush has no contact with this group even when the socialists say they have. They have denied it. So, there. But, to come out and say this stuff, it is what the socialists want. They WANT Bush to respond to it. It gives credence to what they are whining about. I would not touch it. I would have simply said: "My fellow Americans, my campaign and I have repeatedly stated that we feel the senator's service in the military was honorable. I will comment no further on his military service. What I WILL comment on his is 20 years in the United States Senate. Which, during those two decades, the junior Senator of the state of Taxsachuttus submitted, cosponsored, sponsored absolutely nothing in the way of legislation to support any program whatsoever. He has basically shown up from time to time and voted from time to time AGAINST everything positive for the military, and voted for every socialist program. That is what I have commented on, and will continue to comment on."
I would give them nothing. They deserve nothing. Absolutely nothing.
