"Dems lead in '04 smear campaign"

a great read from a "middle of the road" kind of guy - morton kondracke.

kerry looks less and less attractive after you read this article - gotta love the truth

Kerry is on record as opposing the MX missile, the B-1 bomber, the Tomahawk missile, the Apache helicopter, the Patriot missile, the Harrier jet and the F-15 fighter aircraft and has called for deep cuts in the intelligence budget.

as one of his own campaign press releases shows, Kerry favored all those cuts in 1984, long before the Cold War was over. He also supported a nuclear freeze that would have left the Soviet Union with a missile advantage in Europe.

in September 1995, Kerry introduced a deficit-reduction bill calling for the phasing-out of two Army divisions over a five-year period, cancellation of the Army's tank-upgrade program and five years of $300 million reductions in the intelligence budget

In response to these facts being pointed out Kerry's response was

Kerry said that Bush was questioning his Vietnam service and said "it has been hard to believe that you would choose to reopen these wounds for your personal political gain."

WTF kind of non sequitur is that?

Then there is how McCain was treated by the Bushites.

I don't care much for Kerry, but a whole lot more than the Texan Terrer.

Vietnam badge != a way out of owning up to your decisions. Kerry is about the worst candidate for the Democrates to have picked...... Its laughable.

Blah, blah, blah. This anti-Kerry smear has already been addressed two or three times here. I think one of the threads was yours.

Kerry voted against those weapons programs in a single vote against an omnibus bill. He has also voted for each of those systems in other bills. It is also a matter of record that Cheney and other Republicans supported military cuts at the same time Kerry did. BFD. The smear is yours.

That Kerry quote has been taken utterly out of context. Clear as day to anyone with a decent comprehension of the English language who reads that entire article.

But, who cares about who's smearing who? Smearing is a tactic used by every side in every election. It's all good, clean fun.

Republicans still haven't paid for any of these weapons systems, and just stuck us with trillions in debt.

You bet it's laughable! That someone like Kerry will be the next President because of a total Republican screwup! If it wasn't for the mess king george has gotten us into, people wouldn't even be talking about Kerry.
