You are really naive.
The socialists control the press. It is impossible for "Kerry to look like a hypocrite" since the press IS the Democratic Party.
Come back to the real world. We need conservative who can think clearly.
If I'm naive, then you're living in the past. If socialists truly controlled the press as they did pre-cable and pre-internet then we'd have heard little or nothing from the Swifties.
The MSM, I admit, has been dragged kicking and screaming into this story but in it they are now. Check out the articles that are finally appearing in the Wash. Post, the Chicago Sun-Times and other large city papers that are questioning Kerry's version of the events and giving credence to the Swifties. That's been forced on them by Fox News, internet bloggers and Drudge.It'll only get worse for Kerry as these papers can't avoid any longer taking up the cry for Kerry to fully release his records.
Bush was smart to take an issue away from Kerry by deploring all of the 527, most of whom support Kerry. Bush and McCain know that nothing is going to silence ANY of the 527s without additional legislation. That has zero chance of occurring before next year if ever.
So Bush has taken an issue away from Kerry without having to give anything up himself. Kerry can't logically criticize Bush on the Swifties without answering why he doesn't condemn and call for silencing his 527s or admitting as Bush has that he has no control over them. If he does, he ends up looking like a hypocrite to the independents and moderate Democrats. Their votes are the one's that will win or lose the election.
