perhaps some common sense...?

[historian]

If Kerry is accused (rightly) of having sex with someone else - why shouldnt he admit it? Yes I had sex with someone - who hasnt?? (throw the first stone parable)
Did he smoke pot? Yes (if he did) in his youth as did so many others. Besides he didnt like the idea of drinking because he wants to keep his liver.
And if the attacks on his supposed pot smoking does continue, have him ask why rush limbaugh isnt in jail? Apparently the laws in florida mandating jail time for drug use dont apply to ranting lunatics.
Was he anti war during vietnam? Only after he saw the real facts - he earned the right to do so.
Challenge any republican big shot to come forward with their stories of Viet Nam (only McCaine can claim that one)
Did he take money? Of course he did - the system obliges anyone who isnt bill gates to scramble like whores for money all day long.
And so on...
I think the present system we have of attack and counter attack with nonsensical issues is not only childish but is highly dangerous.
