What is it with John Kerry? He blames President Bush for the 527 ads (Swift Boat Veterans for Truth) that are running about his record in Vietnam and his actions when he returned.

The Swift Boat men are veterans of Vietnam, too. They have a right to voice their opinion. It seems John Kerry only likes negative ads and movies that are aimed at the president.

Millions of dollars worth of these 527 ads are aimed at President Bush.

Kerry is targeted by significantly fewer.

No 527 ads are supposedly sponsored by either political party.

Fact: The Democratic Party is hard at work trying to keep Ralph Nader off the ballot.

Fact: The Democrats are recruiting protesters for the Republican Convention.

Nobody does dirty any better than the Democrats.
