| I really hate election year politics!!
Over my years watching and listening to all of the hoopla and general BS that doesn't mean a danged thing to you and me, come out of the mouths of election year wannabies..the following just has to take the cake!
There is a very old saying, "alls fair in love and war"..this goes at least 3 or 4 times greater for candidates running for a public office.
Now, it has come down to where one candidate can call on the other canadate..to intercede when private citizens express their selves concerning the honesty and values of a candidate opposing the other candidate
The Kerry/Edwards campaign is ASKING the Bush administration to get involved with private citizens who are opposing Kerry!!
Can you imagine Geo. W. Bush telling his supporters to calm down?..don't hit up on Kerry too bad?...LOL!! Edwards: Bush could stop swift boat ads
'We want to hear from the president,' he says at rally
ROANOKE, Virginia (CNN) -- Democratic vice presidential nominee John Edwards called on Saturday for President Bush to condemn the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth ad campaign.
The ads criticize Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry's activities after the Vietnam War and accuse Kerry of lying to get his war medals. Kerry and others say the ads are false and misleading.

Handsome guys? Sexy fellows?
This is all getting a little too homoerotic for me. I've got less-sexy issues to focus on.  |

About those swift boat ads: Bush isn't even behind those. If they want to stop them, the Kerry campaign should go to the source - the Veitnam War veterans. That would be an enlightening conversation.
And if the shoe was on the other foot, I'm sure the Kerry folks wouldn't think twice about taking advantage of that history. |

Actually, Kerry has already denounced the MoveOn ads that question Bush's military record. |

I think the whole grabber about the ads is Kerry actually confessing to what he did. |
