The new Kerry ad SUCKS!!! (One might say, "sucks donkey") [View All]

[troublemaker]

This refers to a new Kerry ad I just saw on TV (not the John McCain debate ad, which I love, but is so far only on the internet)

The new TV ad says that Bush is attacking Kerry's record, and that Bush did it to McCain and now he's doing it to Kerry.

This is amateur hour. A presidential candidate is supposed to act, not be acted upon. If Bush is now "doing it to Kerry" then Kerry is painted as a rape victim. That's a short-cut to defeat.

The correct political form is to stand up for the rights of people who cannot defend themselves, not complain about your own powerlessness.

Wouldn't this be more effective?

Does George Bush have a problem with people who fought for America? In 2000 he backed smears attacking Vietnam veteran John McCain's honorable service record, and questioning the loyalty of men who faced torture while serving America. Today Bush is backing smears against Vietnam veteran John Kerry; smears that paint the enlisted men Kerry led in battle as cowards and liars... President Bush even refuses to distance himself from lies that question the worth of every medal ever won by any Vietnam veteran. The best way to support our troops is to get rid of Bush and his anti-military smears. America can do better.
