"WELL GUESS , that means now SWIFT ads will run and Kerry can't blame BUSH for them.
Kerry will have to take on Swift Vets himself and not hide behind W."
Now Kerry can say they should stop because both he and Bush say they are not telling the truth.
Bush NEVER said that the vets were not telling the TRUTH. He did not attack the swiftees at all. Even so, the fact that Kerry and Bush denounce the ads will not undermine their substance. Kerry is screwed because he made a process argument rather than a substantive argument. GWB has assimilated process by saying that all 527 ads are bad for the process. Kerry is now limited to confronting the substance of their allegations.
"Now Kerry can say they should stop because both he and Bush say they are not telling the truth"
Bush never said anything like that. Didn't mention what was true or not true.
