To hell with Hardball!

I want to see Brinkley interviewed by Brit Hume.

I agree with Ann Althouse that the Kerry response to the Swift boat Vets ads only makes him look less honest and certainly insulting to the American people. But then, that's always how I've viewed the national Democrat campaign tactics. It seems that now a lot of people who consider themselves liberal, are noticing these tactics for the first time. The pro-Gore ad by the NAACP in 2000 certainly showed a low opinion of the intelligence and the critical thinking skills of black voters.

If Kerry has a solid case about his record, why isn't he presenting it instead of calling other veterans liars and trying to tie it to Bush. As I recall, the Republicans didn't have any 527 organizations running ads until they challenged the activities of MoveOn.org and George Soros and the FEC refused to act. So, as I see it, Kerry has counted on the big money behind his 527s and the bias of the mainstream media, and it hasn't done the job. For him to blame this all on Bush begs the question of whether Democrats don't have some responsibility for the current mud throwing. They wanted to reform campaign finance but still spend the money of rich liberals and they don't want the other side to do the same. That's all that this boils down to.
