Yes, the Swiftboat crowd will again try and paint Kerry with new ad material, and radio talk show hosts and Fox will carry it over and over.
It'll likely have something to do with the fact that once an individual is discharged from military service, they're fully discharged--that there's a provision whereby they can bring you back into service, if conditions warrant such (Precisely what Bush is doing today, i.e., his 'back-door' draft!). However, with Kerry's anti-war activities, Kerry's bring-back service was likely discontinued. Not surprising, is it?
My guess is we'll probably see something along the lines described above. However, given the seriousness of how Bush has blundered on the Iraq War, the economy (obscene deficits), the environment (corporate-tiled executive orders), health care (flu shots), education (not funding No Child Left Behind), etc., Americans when arriving at the voting booth are going to remember how good it felt to be an American with Clinton as president. This, not the Swiftboat smear, is what will tilt the election.
You read it here first! Kerry will be surging into victory come election day. |
