I'm at the same point. It is all nonsense in a vacuum now.

And here I just posted how it was getting out of hand. If they'd only just ignore the ad, it wouldn't be getting the response it had.

I'm more interested in a candidates stand on the issues, his record (if he has one) in the intervening years between Viet Nam and now.

People do grow up now.

Just visited Captain's Quarters. Read top post and comments.

Strike "Not" from the beginning of my previous post's last sentence, and everything after "tar."

Which post TC? I use an aggrigator so they might not be in the same order,

"Kerry Still Sacrificing The Freedom of the South Vietnamese."

I think O'Neill has something that is flat-out radioactive tucked in his pocket, just waiting to drop it on Kerry's head. Everything interesting between now and then will revolve around MSM performance after being dragged screaming into the game.

I don't doubt that at all TC. I've read the sheet music, I've watched the dance. The crescendo is yet to come.

I personally think one of two things. One, O'Neill has been playing this at such an expert level that it appears almost as pure luck, or Two: it IS pure luck that Kerry is playing into their hands.

For all the discussion of character smearing (it's odd that many have no problem smearing the SBVFT but find it repulsive when turned around) the Kerry campaign has handled this in the most piss poor method ever seen. I don't understand why so many people need to come to his aid when he's the one kicking himself in the nuts.

But in the end, I'm tired of this already. I'm not voting for Kerry. If I get too pissed at Bush, I'll vote Libertarian, so these ads have no effect on me. The constant sniping between left and right is reaching a fevered pitch and these ads aren't helping.

I think his bomb has something to do with either Kerry's sitdown with VC honchos in Paris back in the day, or something someone dug out of all those old Soviet espionage files that were turned loose years back. Not something on a par with "Manchurian Candidate" tar, more like his group's operating dough back then was dollars converted from rubles.
