Kerry has no time to spend talking about his crappy career in the Senate....just as he had NO TIME to show up for MANY intelligence hearings, even though he was a member... Kerry is too busy trying to suppress FREE SPEECH. First his team goes after Nadar...now the Swiftboat people...and with the help of idiots like ROOTERS news(yes I spelled it like that on purpose), he is now dragging out Cleland and Rassman again to make a big media stage play...which has been the name of his whole career...can you believe that moron? Kerry Takes Fight Over Vietnam Ads to Bush's Ranch Aug 25, 2:05 am ET By Adam Entous CRAWFORD, Texas (Reuters) - Democrat John Kerry will dispatch two fellow Vietnam veterans to President Bush's secluded Texas ranch on Wednesday to press him to condemn television advertisements accusing Kerry of lying about his wartime service. The move comes one day after it was disclosed that a top lawyer for Bush's re-election campaign has been providing legal advice to the group behind the ads, the so-called Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. Kerry is sending to Crawford former Sen. Max Cleland of Georgia, a frequent companion of Kerry's on the campaign trail and a fellow Vietnam War veteran who lost three limbs during the war. Cleland and former Army Green Beret Jim Rassman, whose life was saved by Kerry during a Vietnam war firefight, will try to deliver a letter protesting the ads to Bush at his heavily guarded ranch, Kerry aides said. Kerry's service has dominated the neck-and-neck race for the Nov. 2 election in recent days as both candidates try to portray themselves as the best man to lead the United States in its war against terrorism. Bush has called for the Swift Boat ads to be stopped along with others run by independent groups, and said Kerry should be proud of his war service. But Bush stopped short of condemning the group or its specific accusations that the Democratic presidential candidate lied about his record in Vietnam. The Kerry letter, signed by at least seven Democratic senators who have served in the military, calls on Bush to "recognize this blatant attempt at character assassination, and publicly condemn it." "Call on this group to cease and desist," they wrote. Cleland said Bush "owes it to every soldier and veteran in the nation to stop condoning their smears through his silence." Cleland lost his 2002 re-election bid after a bitter campaign in which Republicans questioned his patriotism. Bush did not intervene then, and Kerry spokesman Phil Singer said what happened to Cleland in 2002 is similar to "what is going on today" against Kerry.
