Kerry's Focus & Wrath Misplaced

Sen. John Kerry, who apparently served in Vietnam for 4 1/2 months in 1968, is showing a peculiar behavior in rebutting the SwiftVet's political ad. He whines over the fact that the vets got contributions totaling $200,000 from a Republican in Texas. And because of that, it must be lies. How quick he is to divide. No reaching out by him. That must be a whole lot worse than George Soros and his millions of bucks supporting Kerry and moveon.org. He somehow misses the point that Texans are U.S. citizens too, and have just as much freedom to speak as a Democrat or moveon.org has.

In his own ad, purported to be a response to the swift vet's ad, Kerry fails to rebut anything. It's the vet's who were there with Kerry whom Kerry needs to challenge. They are the ones making the charges about Kerry's service and how he has presented it in his campaign. Not the president.

It's another dodge that the press goes along with, no one notices that the basic charges have still gone unanswered.

Reminds me of Kerry and his democrat donors and 527's all chastising the president for going into Iraq with the war on terrorism using the spin of Al Qaeda being in Afghanistan and not in Iraq. In this case, the accusations are coming from decorated Vietnam War veterans, so Kerry attacks and accuses Bush instead.

Well, that's easier than having to deal with the vets themselves. It's shoot the messenger time again.

These are neither the judgement nor actions of a leader worthy of the office of Commander-In-Chief.
