Goodness!!
Even good Ol' Bill Snyder(*spelling?)on Inside Politics said that the Kerry Campaign needs to get away from attacks on this issue and stop the personal attack regarding Bush. He said that Bush has been the president for four years and he has either proven that he a strong leader to voters or he hasn't.
Bill Snyder also said that polls show Bush has very high numbers in the polls on the "leadership issue" therefore the sKerry campaign needs to focus more on Bush's record in office and on issues.
In other words the DNC is wasting their time on this NG stuff.
Questioning Bush's NG record as if to suggest Bush will be a weak Commander In Chief just does not make sense to me either. What is the point to this. What is the strategy!
I wonder if the nit wits at the DNC are doing this just to get even for the Swifties, and their need for revenge is blinding their good judgement.
Harping on this NG stuff is INSANE!
I hope they keep this up until November 2nd frankly!
Yes, all the NG stuff is insane, but so is Kerry's harping over and over on his 4 months in Vietnam.
Even the speech he gave last evening to the Black Caucus had suggestive references to his military service (although he didn't mention Vietnam by name -- hehehe).
Like it or not, Kerry's Senate record is going to come in to play. What happened 35 years ago is mostly irrelevant, so Kerry needs to get past it---but he can't seem to.
There is none. This is just pure unadulterated vengeance - for the Swift Vets ads being successful while their years of smears and attacks did little to hurt Bush. It's a party that lacks any self-discipline and operates off of pure emotion.
