Losing Your Cool Isn't Very Presidential Peter Murphy - Troy, N.Y.
I am unaware of a single public complaint by President Bush over the $60 million smear campaign against him by 527 groups supporting Kerry. Biting, unfair criticism comes with the job of president. So one anti-Kerry 527 group, Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, comes along, spends 0.01% of the money spent by anti-Bush groups, and John Kerry goes nuts, sends threatening letters to TV stations, and demands the publisher cease printing the book by John O'Neill, the head of Swift Boat Vets. Mr. Kerry's hysterical reaction, and his contempt for the First Amendment rights of those who disagree with him, shows he is unfit to be president, and a threat to the Constitution.
