Here is an excerpt:
" Campaign officials said in interviews that they plan substantial positive advertising about the president, focused on his proposals rather than accomplishments, when they begin spending tens of millions of dollars on the airwaves next month. But they made it clear that many of the ads will accuse the Democratic front-runner of "hypocrisy," in McKinnon's word, in part by reaching back into his early career.
A 1970 Harvard Crimson interview in which Kerry said that U.S. troops should be deployed "only at the directive of the United Nations" will be fair game, the officials said. If they run ads about that period, they will probably focus on Kerry's high-profile opposition to the Vietnam War and comments about U.S. atrocities that could neutralize his record as a decorated veteran."
Personally, I think this will backfire. "Proposals" instead of "accomplishments?" Because there is not much to brag about accomplishments.
Kerry's views on the Viet Nam war: After fighting and seeing for himself, he changed his views about the war and who wouldn't have...only blind Rambo types who love to kill. Turns out that Kerry's changed views were right on with most historians who now agree that Viet Nam was a mistake and another war based on a big lie that cost the lives of over 50,000 our young. All Kerry has to say to any attacks is that after seeing first hand what was happening only the most inhumane of mankind would have continued to support that war. It's easy for those who never the saw the combat to say it was a noble way and support it...but they are forming their opinions on some grandiose idea about democracy and freedom that doesn't exist...even here at home.
On the economy: Now the Bushies are trying to blame the recession on a Clinton bubble. All Kerry or the Dems have to do is point out that what actually burst the 'bubble' was Greenspan raising interest rates when there was no inflation in shight...that stopped the boom dead in its tracks. Interest rates, more than "tax cuts" help our economy. That's the only thing that is keeping Bush's economy above sinking right now is that Greenspan has kept the interest rates low. We would be in the same place had the tax cuts not taken place. Just ask what has contributed most to household buying and disposable income: low interest rates not that $300 in tax cuts that were swollowed up in higher state and local fees.
GO GET'EM DEMS!!!
