Puhleeze don't go blaming Bush for Kerry's own
ill-considered strategy!!!

Kerry's a big boy and has to be held accountable for his
own decisions about how to run the campaign.

What "started it" was the months of unending
assaults by DNC and eventually Kerry surrogates
against the President, beginning with the AWOL claim.

The swiftvets had signaled their intentions well
before the DNC convention, but the Kerry-ites
were evidently too arrogant or too complacent to
realize that they were walking right into it
with the theme of their convention.

It wouldn't have taken high-priced help to figure out
that one either. It should have been obvious to
anyone with half a brain.

The problem is that Kerry is too cloistered--and has
beaten down questions about his service so often in the past--
such that he didn't appreciate the grave error he
was making.

And that's his fault.
Not Bush's.

<edit: Beyond that, if Kerry had to go back and
focus on 4 months of combat duty 30+ years ago
in order to counter Bush's references to being a "war
president", that should tell you something
about Kerry's Senate record. He should have been
able to point to aspects of his record that would
show his ability to lead in time of war. He couldn't
do it because his 20 year record in the Senate does NOT
support it.>
