In other boards I go to, mostly Mom boards LOL, whenever the whole Vietnam controversy's coming up now are discussed, Bush supporters and the independents (which there are few LOL) are saying that it seems Kerry is running on Vietnam blah blah blah because he has a bad Senate record blah blah blah. So I got to thinking because it is true that I don't see much about his accomplishments and record. I know that the Media has some blame, but as far as strategy for Kerry it makes sense. He has some good things to stand on, like the BCCI?, Iran-Contra, breaking with party on Balanced Budget, bi-partisan work on POW's etc, etc. If the focus goes on Vietnam and all the ugliness and we get through the RNC and start going into September and October hammering home his record in the Senate, his accomplishments, the times he has stood apart from partisan politics and fought for what is right...that will be what sticks in voter's minds. It seems for the average undecided if everything about how hard Kerry fought for things like closing down fraudulent banking (which supported terrorism) before it was fashionable, uncovered the Iran-Contra scandal, has experience fighting in things like we need for fighting terrorism, fought for balance budgets etc, was all hashed out in July and August, it will become old by November 2nd. Better to hammer it home closer to decision day. Kathy
