I still think Kerry has screwed himself but good. Even if the media succeed in portraying the swifties as liars and general no-goodniks, Kerry will never look the same in the eyes of voters. On the other hand, this can do Bush no good either, given the risk of the swifties appearing to be his proxies. Again, a goal of the general media.
More analysis here, but the main thing is, if Kerry is really the hero he says he is, he can spring a trap at any time by simply releasing suitable documentation to definitively prove he is right– and the swifties will be wrong and Kerry will be swept into office.

Coming up with a competent strategy isn’t all that difficult, and is still doable.
1) Authorize the DOD to release all of Kerry’s service and medical records.
2) Stop touting Kerry’s 140 days in Vietnam as his bona fides for being president. The only reason his ‘Nam service is an issue is because Kerry has made it, not just an issue, but the central point of his campaign.
3) Talk about the future, and stop whining about Bush.
4) Kerry made a mistake, admit it and take the consequences like a man.
5) Stop acting like a sniveling wimp that runs to the lawyers. I stopped acting like this back in the 4th grade.
6) Stop trying to be the “cool dude” next door. Kerry is a freakin’ privileged blue blood. He should stop trying to be something he is not, and work on showing us why his blue-bloodness is what we need for the next 4 years. American’s do elect bluebloods (WW, FDR).
I no longer care who is telling the trugh about Kerry’s Vietnam service. His actions in the last few weeks have shown me that Kerry does not have the mettle to be a leader. The Dems should have put up Lieberman.
And Dave, if you think all conservatives are anti-porn, you must still be stuck in the 1950s.

No McGehee, you must be living in a plastic bubble. There have been so many pieces of legislation sponsored by Republicans to essentially outlaw porn by saying it is not included as free speach.
If you think the NeoCons are not for outlawing anything but the missionary position between married couples for the purpose of creating children you are delusional.

Rtfm, yup it is…. but what’s weird is, it’s also different from the original one I looked at a month ago. hmmm

Kevin Mc, please don’t try to confuse Dave with facts or anything. You might interfere with his use of the hate appelation of the year, “NeoCon.”
Thankfully, he’s not talking about me. I’ve been conservative for decades (actually, I’ve never been much of anything but conservative), so I guess that would make me a “presbycon.”
Which is borne out by my belief that pornography is fine in the hands of the average adult.
Yea and wouldn’t that be a great distraction from the real issues of this campaign a media-circus trial.
Dave
Like it would go to court before the 2008 elections.
I think Dave’s trying to distract us from Janet Jackson’s boob.
I do not think any of the so-called anti-porn conservatives could ever be distracted from “Janet Jackson’s boob”

Have any of you noticed that the Swiftboat veterans entry page (http://www.swiftvets.com/) has been down for hours?

Wooops! It’s back up again.
I haven’t paid any attention at all to Justin Timberlake. The Brazilian women’s volleyball team’s behinds, though…

Hell, I was a conservative by the time I was 14.
But since that occurred after Barry Goldwater, I guess that might qualify me as part of the Neo-Conga Ball.
