I'm sure this got posted by a night owl, but I ran several searches & did not see it.

Thought Two: "It would be like an American today meeting with the heads of al Qaeda." Team Kerry better have a good defense to refute that talking point, because if that one sentence comparison breaks through the media static and gets into voter's heads, Kerry will make Walter Mondale look like Bill Clinton.

AMEN

Technically, he was still a Naval Officer. That is one he-- of a lot worse than doing it as a private citizen.

Kerry acknowledged in that testimony that even going to the peace talks as a private citizen was at the "borderline" of what was permissible under U.S. law, which forbids citizens from negotiating treaties with foreign governments. But his campaign said he never engaged in negotiations or attended any formal sessions of the talks.

Didn't go to negotiate? Why then did he go? Just to sip wine with old friends?

They keep saying it wasn't a secret, that he told Congress about it. This is a strawman argument. It WAS A SECRET when it happened. He did not tell Congress 'til afterwards!

Good thing they're saving their strongest messages till last. More to come...

Another good take on the 6th ad.

Benedict Arnold was a real war hero, who won battles and was badly wounded.

He still turned traitor, just like Kerry.

I've never seen this mentioned, but I'm curious about how Kerry was able to contact the Viet Cong to set up the meeting in Paris.
