KERRY CHALLENGES BUSH TO WEEKLY DEBATES: In Anoka, MN, John Kerry challenged President Bush to weekly debates on the issues.
BUSH CAMP REAX: “There will be a time for debates after the convention, and during the next few weeks, John Kerry should take the time to finish the debates with himself. This election presents a clear choice to the American people between a President who is moving America forward and a Senator who has taken every side of almost every issue and has the most out of the mainstream record in the U.S. Senate,” said BC’04 spokesman Steve Schmidt.

Double-standard? Is that you?

Gosh, I haven’t seen you since this morning when I looked at the news!

Democrats are urging Bush to denounce independent campaign ads against Kerry. The latest is Former Georgia Sen. Max Cleland, who went to the President’s Ranch in Crawford, Texas to deliver a letter. No one there would accept it. Max, you don’t need to deliver the letter at all. Just get enough people involved with Kerry’s campaign to scream like banshees about this and Bush will just see it on the news.

By the way, why is Bush denouncing all the activity of the 527’s not good enough for the Kerry campaign? First, because they are a bunch of whining babies. Second, because they are a bunch of whining babies. And third, the 527’s helping the Kerry campaign have spent more than 54 million big ones trashing Bush, while the swiftees have spent a paltry half a million. “Mother” Teresa Heniz-(Kerry) probably owns half a million in shoes.

The media has thousands of litters of kittens over one volunteer for the Bush campaign who has helped the Swiftees. What about all the connections Kerry people have with 527’s like the perfidious ACT and the perfidious-er MoveOn.org?

Don’t cry, Kerry staffers! Mommie will be along with your blankie, your martini, and your mutual fund statement any time now. Just know that it’s your candidate who decided to run on his Vietnam record. Bush didn’t make this an issue.

UPDATE: Letter to Kerry – “You can’t have it both ways.”

You can’t have it both ways. You can’t build your convention and much of your campaign around your service in Vietnam, and then try to say that only those veterans who agree with you have a right to speak up. There is no double standard for our right to free speech. We all earned it.
You said in 1992 “we do not need to divide America over who served and how.” Yet you and your surrogates continue to criticize President Bush for his service as a fighter pilot in the National Guard.

Band of Brothers or Band of War Criminals?

John Kerry’s Two Vietnams – Mackubin Thomas Owens

As a correspondent pointed out to me in an e-mail, each episode of the HBO series Band of Brothers, begins with a voiceover in which the narrator says of the World War II soldiers portrayed in the program: “I was not a hero, but I was surrounded by heroes.” In contrast, what John Kerry is saying in essence about his “band of brothers” is that “in Vietnam, I was a hero, but I was surrounded by war criminals.”
