Reply #7: And Dem party's attack [View All]

will be on Bush's AWOL. If the Bush administration who have stated that this stuff from the past about Bush's AWOL should be eft in the past, they are going to have to leave Kerry's Vietnam past in the past. Remember it was those who prostested the war who won the fight to force the government to end it. That wasnt just Kerry and Fonda, those were the baby boomers, and their parents who upon seeing their kids dying in the tens of thousands, and coming home with serious psycholgical problems, ended up siding with the Kerry's and the Fondas by the time Kerry was protesting. It is why he is getting the massive wins all over the country now. If the little slips of paper showing Bush's National Guard salary are faked, Kerry will find out how. It is a place, in the end, they do not want to go. And no other candidate has a history that cannot be mined for dirt. Dean fell down easily, during the campign for nomination when Republicans attacked him his record and behavior, He could not stand up to media scrutiny of either his past, or his current performance. So there is not way that his campign would not wither against a Bush/Rove storm.
Edwards career before the Senate, plus his senate decision are just as easily mined. So was Clark as a general, Kucinich as a Congressman. And all but Clark and Edwards could be easily marginalized. Kerry has been attackled before, on all these issues, but people who have had better campaign machines that Bush or Rove could put togetther. Bush still is relying on many of the same people who have gone after Kerry on this stuff and failed every time.

Sorry, Kerry is best prepared out of all the candidates to stand up to whatever will be thrown at him
