Kerry: Records? Did I want those?

Plot thickens after checking records:

“What could that more than 100 pages contain? Questions have been raised about President Bush’s drill attendance in the reserves, but Bush received his honorable discharge on schedule. Kerry, who should have been discharged from the Navy about the same time — July 1, 1972 — wasn’t given the discharge he has on his campaign Web site until July 13, 1978. What delayed the discharge for six years? This raises serious questions about Kerry’s performance while in the reserves that are far more potentially damaging than those raised against Bush. “

It just keeps getting worse and worse. By now, I am sure John Kerry is quite regretful of making his Vietnam service the centerpiece of his campaign. It’s as if Ted Kennedy launched a bid for president by extolling his virtuous behavior in Chappaquiddick.

Freedom of speech? Not so much.

Bush Campaign to Legally Challenge 527 Ads – I find this whole notion of stopping organizations from running ads against politicians blatantly un-American. Regardless of who is benefiting from what ads, doesn’t the First Amendment say something about freedom of political speech? Apparently not during an election year. Instead of caving in to the stunts and rants of people whining about Swift Vets speaking their minds about Kerry, Bush should be apologizing for signing the so-called “campaign finance reform bill” and asking Kerry why a group of Swift Vets shouldn’t be allowed freedom of speech.

A good rule in politics is that anyone who picks a fight ought to be prepared to finish it. But having first questioned Mr. Bush’s war service, and then made Vietnam the core of his own campaign for President, Mr. Kerry now cries No mas! because other Vietnam vets are assailing his behavior before and after that war. And, by the way, Mr. Bush is supposedly honor bound to repudiate them.
