Wake up! "The Democrats win...

when people think."~Bill Clinton on The Daily Show.

While we and the media are focusing on the Swift Boat Liars, major issues that would benefit the Kerry campaign are being left behind.

1. The Abu Ghraib reports are out...not good for Bush

2. New overtime rules come into effect...not good for Bush

3. Ranks of the Poor and Uninsured has risen for the 3rd year in a row...not good for Bush

Anyone else smell a distraction?

A laughably transparent diversion

As a registered Republican who values integrity, I am appalled that the Bush team is condoning a smear campaign to distort and demean John Kerry's Vietnam service. They've taken politics to a new low -- and given me one more reason to vote for John Kerry.

Republican Sen. John McCain said it well when he described the TV commercials as "dishonest and dishonorable." He called on President Bush to condemn the ads. Republican Sen. John Warner said the same. Kerry's own crewmates, who dodged the same bullets and saw their boat captain save the life of a Green Beret, stand shoulder to shoulder with him. And the president? He lets the false ads continue.

These dirty tricks are laughably transparent to anyone who followed the smear campaign against McCain during the 2000 Republican primary. Desperate to stop the popular McCain in South Carolina, Bush operatives began planting rumors that McCain had fathered an illegitimate child who was black. A professor at Bob Jones University even sent an e-mail to "fellow South Carolinians" stating that McCain had "chosen to sire children without marriage." Bush said nothing -- and went on to win.

There's an obvious motive for the current slander. The administration is desperately trying to divert attention away from the nearly 1,000 U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq, the 6,000 wounded, the $180 billion price tag for the Iraq War, the $445 billion deficit, the 44 million Americans without health coverage, and the 1.8 million lost private-sector jobs -- among other things...

2. It goes on and on and on

I just wish more people were paying attention to the REAL issues. Kerry would wipe the floor with him based on the issues and we're getting caught up in the smears.
