EAST HAMPTON, N.Y. - Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry on Saturday night urged President Bush to "stand up and stop" what he called personal attacks on him over his combat record in Vietnam.
At a fundraiser, attended by about 750 people, Kerry said the attacks by a group of Vietnam veterans and former Swift Boat commanders have intensified "because in the last months they have seen me climbing in America's understanding that I know how to fight a smarter and more effective war" against terrorists.
"That's why they're attacking my credibility. That's why they've personally gone after me. The president needs to stand up and stop that. The president needs to have the courage to talk about it."

Go John! This is EXACTLY what you need to do. Keep demainding and demanding, keeping this issue alive going into the Repuke convention.

1. Love it.

Kerry is "demanding" Bush do something decent and right. Something which might even earn Bush a few votes. But Bush can't do it now, because Kerry is demanding him. Bush is far too insecure. Far too full of false machismo to do something under someone elses insistence, even if it would make him look good. Kerry should continue to insist, demand and urge Bush do this and other reasonable things. Bush's Tiny Texas oysters are twisting turning and trying to burrow into his stomach right about now.

2. Bush will never denounce these ads

That's why this is a win-win for Kerry. He'll just keep pushing this and pushing this, and as each day goes by, more facts come out supporting his case.
