Kerry Campaign e-mail: "Don't yield an inch to George Bush"
Obviously there's no URL because it's an e-mail...but here are some excerpts (from Campaign Manager Mary Beth Cahill). When she refers to "four more years," take a GOOD, long look at the photo. Here comes Mary Beth:

"The swift boat ad is full of lies. Thirteen men who never served with John Kerry lie about knowing him and viciously attack his record. It is a new low for the Republicans.

Every time they have attacked us like this, it has only made us stronger. When they ran dishonest attack ads (like the unbelievable new one on the air right now), thousands of new supporters flocked to our campaign to give us the resources we need to fight back on the airwaves.

Now that the general election has begun, they're hoping things are different. They're going to be sorely disappointed because we are not alone. The Democratic National Committee is well prepared to take on this fight.

And therefore I'm asking you: everything you did for our campaign, please do now for our Democratic Party. Give the party the resources it needs to fight against these right-wing attacks:

https://www.democrats.org/support/kerry.html <https://www.democrats.org/support/kerry.html?dsc=NETA535>

The Democratic Party is responsible for putting organizers and volunteers into the field and turning out the millions of votes we need to win. We literally cannot win this election without the party.

https://www.democrats.org/support/kerry.html <https://www.democrats.org/support/kerry.html?dsc=NETA535>

You and I know that if we so much as yield an inch to George Bush and the Republicans this month, we'll live to regret it. In fact, we may live to regret it for four long years. Join with me in supporting the Democratic Party today."

I feel like writing back and saying take your own damn advice. You don't need more money from me you need to grow a fuckin pair and get out there and smash into the smirk like the predator did to that alien in that exclusive trailer from yahoo.

(See here for how I think Kerry should take on Bush starring The Predator as Kerry)

2. If that is your response then you don't understand the Kerry mindset
Kerry's campaign believes that the American Public doesn't want mud slinging politicians.

So their idea is to get the "people" to respond to these attacks which keeps Kerry from the fray while getting others impassioned about the cause.

Whether you believe in that philosophy or not, that is how Kerry is going to run the campaign.

3. I DO understand the Kerry mindset if you read my earlier posts
Edited on Wed Aug-11-04 04:02 PM by noahmijo
I've been the one saying that he's doing a rope-a-dope he's letting Bush spend millions in bullshit attacks because he knows that everytime Kerry debunks one attack Bush will run behind Rove and pull his lever and 3 more bullshit attacks will come out so really playing tit-for-tat is not the best strategy.

It's better to jump on Bush during the debates where no amount of money no Cheney no Rove nobody is there to defend him and he will look like a buffoon.

Truthfully I posted this response because I'm goofy and I just wanted to let loose for once instead of playing passive. I know full well he can't strike back in the manner of which I could see him do so....untill the debates at least.
