Kerry is keeping this story alive. He knows whatever damage was to be done has been done. Now he will keep fanning the flames and luring the Swift Boat Vets into additional attacks. He wants everyone to focus on Vietnam. He does not want anybody talking about his 20 years in the Senate! Very Clintonesque. Very dangerous. We are being played.

If that's his play, then he's a complete idiot. Kerry might not want to bring up his Senate record, but you can be damned sure that *Bush* and his people will, repeatedly.

Kerry's walking into a two-front PR war, with himself as the creamy center. He'll be roasted on his Vietnam puffery by the Swiftvets on one side, and lambasted by on his Senate record by Bush on the other. He'll have nowhere to run.

I disagree. Kerry and his advisers have such a lifelong disdain for military matters and men, that they have been blindsided by the feelings of actual military veterans.

This is not Clintonesque, it is Clinton. They want Kerry to implode so either Kerry can step down in October and Hillary take over in their "October Surprise" or she can run in '08.

Pfft. Clinton's a conniving powermad narcissistic piece of trailer trash. He really does feel the pain of the little folks... at least the pain that causes them to go strip clubs and adult bookstores.

Kerry's a pampered insulated blue-blooded boob who lives in some alternate reality where everything is to be granted to him by divine right. He'd make a fine King George III, but little else.

I've given much thought to the notion that we are underestimating JFnK & the MSM. The verdict: no on JFn, yes on MSM. They are completely corrupted to a level I couldn't have comprehended if I hadn't seen it.

He and the MSM only THINK they're playing us. The Swift Boat Vets are doing their thing and reminding everyone of Kerry's duplicity in dealing with his Vietnam 'brothers'. The President's job, and he's doing it admirably, is to remind us of Kerry's most recent actions; his work, or lack of it, in the Senate. This is what the President has been concentrating on out on the campaign trail, and what he'll zero in on in the debates!

No, we're not being played at all. There's going to be plenty of talk about Kerry's Senate record next week at the convention, for one thing.
