These charges against John Kerry are false. Or at least, there is no good evidence that they are true. George Bush, if he were a man of principle, would say the same thing.
- Editorial, LA Times, "These Charges Are False"
The Republicans are in town to do two things - slander John Kerry and try to get laid.
They have obviously decided that some people will believe anything, no matter how fictional or how far-fetched, if they just repeat it often enough. That's how they have run their administration, that's how they're running their campaign, and that's how they will run their convention. You can't cover up reality with a few empty slogans. On almost every issue before us, we face the same fundamental choice — between the narrow interest of the few and the future of the vast majority of Americans. The Bush campaign and its allies have turned to the tactics of fear and smear because they can't talk about jobs, health care, energy independence and rebuilding our alliances — the real issues that matter to the American people.
