I believe that even if Kerry had not drawn attention to his war record, pro-Bush forces would still have maligned him big-time about it. Can't agree with you there. The Democrats started with the Bush/AWOL business long before Kerry emerged as the candidate. Kerry, in turn, has stressed his military background and, in fact, made it the centerpiece of his campaign by virtue of their approach at convention. Had Kerry not done so, I can't see why there'd be such focus on his military record. Now maybe the swiftvets would still have come forward; however, these are men who may very well hold strong beliefs about Kerry as a leader. Why is it that the left supports the right of a Linda Ronstadt or Bruce Springsteen to state their opinions of Bush, but have a fit over these vets doing so? How come they admire and cheer on Michael Moore? Why has no one chastened Joe Wilson? Yes, it's been a nasty political season, but the blame is shared equally by the two parties, and much of the dirty campaigning actually started with the Dems during their long primary season and the initial AWOL attacks.
