I'm not so sure Kerry is right, that we don't need someone who knows how to Swiftboat.

1. I love Kerry, but he really botched this....if he knew how to deal with swiftboaters, he would be
running for re-election right now.

12. Almost, if it wasn't so sad....he should know.... it is not going to end.
We have to beat them at it.....and we don't even have to lie to do so.

6. Swiftboating runs through 527s; he's saying elect someone with the courage
and the credibility to change the law.

7. I agree with him, and understand him not to be saying that we don't fight back
but that fighting isn't the only thing in our arsenal - we need a candidate who can fight, but can do more than just fight.

10. No. Loudly and indignantly debunking him would have. Swiftboating Bush wouldn't have shut him up.

16. No, Kerry sat on his ass for a month. And the Clintons didn't swiftboat back. And, again,

swiftboating Bush would not have shut up the SBVT, which you do not seem to understand.

17. Just very partisan for his favorite candidate.
Perhaps we need a candidate who will protect us from the terrorists and will "lie, distort, and cheat using cowardly third-party surrogates" to defeat the other party. (Maybe Bush can run for a third term if he jumps parties.) ;)
