Kerry smacks down McConnell in letter to the editor of KY paper
Advertisements [?]
I said after that election that I would never again let them get away with it. And now that they're using the same dirty tactics in Kentucky, I'm calling them out on it.

Scared by polls that show the race one of the closest in the country, Mitch McConnell is attacking his opponent, National Guard and Army Reserve veteran Bruce Lunsford, in some really despicable and malicious ads.

Not only are McConnell's ads completely dishonest and dishonorable, they are also incredibly hypocritical: Mitch McConnell voted against Sen. Jim Webb's new GI Bill, and defeated other pro-veteran bills as Minority Leader. It takes a lot of nerve for someone with McConnell's record to attack anyone else's commitment to our veterans.

Let's send a message to Mitch McConnell that no level of political desperation can excuse this level of dishonorable conduct. Mitch McConnell has failed our veterans, and he's failed the American people -- we must make sure he pays for this failure.

Please help defeat Mitch McConnell by supporting Bruce Lunsford's campaign for the U.S. Senate. With your help, we can put an end to the politics of smears and fears.

JOHN F. KERRY
U.S. Senate


Ditch Mitch!
