Karl's nightmare: Swiftboat Scumbags mean Kerry can talk 'Nam til Nov. 2
The Swiftboat filthmongers accuse Kerry of shooting himself but they've shot their Repuke selves in the foot by ending Bush's chances in November.

Kerry has begun to destroy Bush by bringing up his AWOL cowardice.

Ain't it ironic?

1. I'd prefer and hope to watch Kerry tie this in with Iraq - what troops are
going through now - who's earning medals now - who's carrying shrapnel home now - etc.

It seems to me the swiftboat focus draws national attention away from Iraq and Bush failures.

4. Actually a great response would be...
Kerry asking how would people feel about a young soldier serving in Iraq today having HIS combat credentials questioned thirty years from now. It puts "supporting the troops" into a new context.

Since the Shrimpboat Vets for Truth arrived on the scene, we've taken the lead in Florida and Ohio. Keep it comin. It HURTS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD. :headbang:

13. Now that Kerry has jumped off the "Mr. Good Guy" boat...
Just as he jumped off his swift boat in Vietnam to chase down the enemy, Kerry has now jumped off the "Mr. Good Guy" boat to chase down these lying sobs. It makes Kerry look strong, it reminds Americans that John Kerry still is that brave American willing to get into the shit to protect America. This is a winning issue for Kerry, like it or not it shows he greatest difference from the bush team, Kerry actually fought for America and when the time came, it the deepest of shit, Kerry jumped out of the boat and chased down the enemy that wanted to harm fellow Americans. Like it or not this is a major issue with Americans, do Americans want a leader that is all talk, a leader that makes noises like a squirrel and runs and hide behind others or do Americans want a leader that is will to get out of the boat and chase down the enemies that threaten America? Actions speak loder than words, and John Kerry's actions speak loudly.

5. I wonder how O'Reilly will spin this tomrrow?
That's if he even touches it. I don't watch him any more. Cold turkey was best and I feel so much better. But right now, Chris Matthews is the hot ticket. Heck, even Deb Norville was a great program tonight. And Bill O is so competitive. I'm curious since the cat is pretty much out of the bag about all this bogus crap. To touch it is to be tarnished by it.

6. Bush let's OTHERS do his fighting
This should be Kerry's line of attack. Bush let's others do his dirty work, and when things get tough he always put the blame on someone else. He never takes responibility himself.

You can see this pattern in his pathetic business career, his campaigns, and his presidency. This broad theme can encompass a lot of his BS.

7. Bush flew an airplane himself? Yeah right.
Unless there is concrete evidence that the village idiot flew solo all by himself with nobody else in the plane, I am inclined to believe it's another Texas-sized hoax. The boob can't even ride a bicycle.

8. I saw an article some time ago
It pointed out that the number of hours Bush* flew was equal to how many you fly accompanied by an instructor. But I don't know if this is true and I can't find the url. Maybe some Googling will turn it up.

10. My husband has his twin engine pilots license....there is no way that
Shrub flew, yet alone "landed" that plane by himself....With the few "flight hours" that Shrub logged, there is no way...Even if at one point the "co-pilot" (try the real pilot) flying the plane had handed the "stick" over to him, he was watching at all times what was happening and would have interjected himself and taken over if there was even an inkling of trouble. A Good friend of my husband's actually has a lear jet and he's flown with him in the cockpit - no way that Shrub was flying a fighter jet....

I say that Kerry challenges Bush to "fly again" and this time have it "videotaped" or shown live from the cockpit....

Yeah, he'll be going "so which switch and button do I push or flip now" and "is it pushing the stick forward or pulling back when you want to go up?"

12. What If Our Troops Were To Do As Bush Did?
Bush went AWOL, became a deserter on the 31st day! It's time Kerry used this on Bush now!

www.awolbush.com

When it was Bush's time to fight, he ran!

Remember when they also did this to former Sen. Bob Kerry? They called Bob Kerry a coward and every name in the book. Bob Kerry won the Congressional Medal Of Honor, US Navy Seals!
