it's monday, and i guess john kerry's campaign is STILL fighting back. This from an AP story:
CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) - President Bush denounced TV ads by outside groups attacking both John Kerry and himself on Monday and called for a halt to all such political efforts. "I think they're bad for the system," he said.
The president made his comments as the Kerry campaign fought back against charges made by an outside group that the Democratic senator had lied about wartime events in Vietnam for which he received five medals.
the article later states:
"The president ... and (political adviser) Karl Rove have flipped back to the well-worn smear page of their campaign playbook, last used against John McCain in 2000," Kerry's campaign said in a statement Sunday. Voters want to hear about the issues, "not lies and smears, and it's time the president realized that."
i find this more than a little humorous, since the DNC orchestrated nearly their entire convention around kerry's vietnam service, and not 'the issues'. i mean, senator, come on--if voters want to hear about 'the issues', you'd better do some house-cleaning of your own before you worry too much about what anyone else is up to.
