NEWTOWN, Pa. -- The military record of a Democratic House candidate was under attack. So, Senator John F. Kerry ventured to the Philadelphia suburbs last week to defend Patrick Murphy -- and deliver the kind of speech the senator never quite gave when his own wartime service was called into question in 2004.
"Attacking Patrick Murphy for his service is a little bit like Jessica Simpson attacking Albert Einstein's IQ," the Massachusetts Democrat proclaimed Thursday at a chilly outdoor rally at Bucks County Community College.
"A lot of these people in the GOP, the Republican Party -- they think somehow that they served because they played with GI dolls when they were little," Kerry said. "The guys who really served understand what it means, and we've had enough of these lies."
Many Democrats remain angry with Kerry over his failure to more aggressively combat Republican smears in 2004. Efforts to tar Kerry generated a new term for political hatchet-jobs -- "swift-boating" -- and Kerry's slow response to the attacks ranks alongside his muddled position on the war in Iraq on Democrats' list of complaints about the campaign.
Now, Kerry is making it a personal mission to defend veterans running as Democrats in this year's congressional elections from Republican attacks. Should he run for president again in 2008, his efforts on behalf of veterans could leave him with a corps of fiercely loyal supporters in Congress, and could help erase memories of the "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" attacks that he acknowledges he let stand for too long.

Kerry defending wartime Democrats is like Clinton defending Monica Lewinsky's honor.
Kerry had no defense against the Swift Boat allegations,because they were true. Thats why he didnt go to television stations and defend himself. He has to be an idiot to even think of running again because he is still in the same situation.
This from the man who marched with Hanoi Jane Fonda, from the man who destroyed evidence of POW/MIA's when he and John McCain went on their Congressional tour of Viet Nam, You know the one where he got lucrative contracts for his cousin. Sign the frickin form John,if you HAVE THE BALLS.

Yeah...a better reference would have been:
"It would be like John Edwards not chasing an ambulance"
"Hillary passing up a lesbian pride march"
"Like Bill Clinton at a Sorority party"
John F'in Traitor received a less than honorable discharge after violating U.S. laws in that while still wearing the uniform of the United States Navy, he traveled to Paris and met with enemies of the United States (The North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong) and engaged in negotiations with them. His discharge was upgraded to "honorable" during the abysmal Carter Administration.
After his Magical Three Purple Scratches Three Month Tour of Vietnam, John F'in returned to the U.S. where he gave false testimony WHICH WAS NOT ACTUALLY UNDER OATH to the United States Senate and in other public forums, where he slandered the good names and reputations of his fellow servicemen, accusing them of war crimes, accusations that were NEVER PROVEN AT ANY TIME.
John F'in Traitor is a liar, the Swift Boat Vets were 100 percent accurate as to his conduct and character, and is truly "unfit to serve".
While I am no Jessica Simpson fan, at least her "dumbness" is an act. She also made her own fortune and didn't have to marry it.
And is it good for a politician to distance itself from a fan base?
Who is the dummy?
The MSM will say in his defense, "we've been through all that before"
And that strategy may be able to push Kerry over the top since he did not lose by much last time.
Of course, it all depends on the Iraq situation. If Pres. Bush's strategies are seen to be working by 08, Kerry's toast because he has opposed the President at every turn and everyone knows it.
John Kerry once again slams American troops- Check it out-
"And there is no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the-of-the historical customs, religious customs."

"One day as our swift boat was heading up a river, a mine exploded hard under our boat. After picking ourselves up, we discovered VC was MIA. Several minutes of frantic search followed after which we thought we'd lost him. We were relieved when another boat called asking if we were missing a dog. It turns out VC was catapulted from the deck of our boat and landed confused, but unhurt, on the deck of another boat in our patrol."

Kerry trying to defend someone's war record is kind of like Do-Do trying to defend the stink.
