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.>

Men, men, men, We're a ship all filled with men, So batten down the ladies' room, there's no one here but men! There's men above and men below and men down in the galley, There's Butch and Spike and Buzz and Biff and one guy we call Sally! (And one guy we call Sally!) Men, men, men, We're a ship all filled with men, You'll never have to lift the seat, there's no one here but men!
