If Kerry can't protect his honor - he can't protect this country

[bushwakker]

That's the calculation many voters are making. If the SBL's are lying then why doesn't he and his campaign vigorously attack these bastards with everything they've got - every day? I talked with a friend of mine today who I've been courting to vote Dem for 6 months. He supported the war and supported AWOL. He says he's still with Kerry but thinks his response has been wimpy and that they are kicking the crap out of him. Whatver response the JK camp has fashioned has not been getting thru. I know that if someone lied about me the way the SBL's are lying about JK I wouldn't wait around for some kind of judo effect to take hold. People expect him to fight for this job and they would understand it if he took the gloves off. They want it. They expect it. It's what they would do.

All the blast faxes and campaign press releases in the world are not gonna do the job. They must attack AWOL's military record and put it in play.
