Let's predict the next smear against Kerry

[cally]

No, I don't think we are helping the Repubs. They have a campaign well planned. I think the Kerry campaign was surprised by the viciousness of the SB Liars. That was Kerry's strength and Kerry knows he has nothing to be ashamed of yet the attacks worked to some extent. Let's guess the next attack so hopefully noone will be surprised.

The Bushistas will attack the opponent's strengths. My prediction is that the next round will be attacking Kerry's family. The Kerry/Heinz children (I know they are adults) are such assets. Since the bushista's normal tactic is to attack your opponent on the issues where you are weak, then I think they will attack the children or parenting of the Edwards/Kerry/Heinz families. The twins were embarrassing so the bushistas will try to spin it into the failure of others.

My second guess is that they will bring up some 'scandal' when Kerry was single and dating.

Be prepared. It's going to get worse IMHO>

6. They have two smears.

1. A Willie Horton ad cncerning whem Kerry was a private attorney in the early 80's and represented a criminal.

2. Kerry allegedly meeting with Viet Cong and North Vietnamese while a Naval reservist.

19. Mike G's got it right...and the first smear comes this week...

Let's see if the campaign pulls another Dukakis on this one.

7. Willie Horton

I think it was leaked.

8. Edwards will defend Saddam Hussein in war crimes court

Kerry voted to give Saddam Hussein nuclear weapons to use against the USA.

10. Kerry is D. B. Cooper

[wrang_wrang]

15. Kerry killed John F. Kennedy

Although I always wondered if Bush Sr was in Dallas that day.

11. Let's not forget Edwards - they're coming after him on med malpractice

Big time - the Chamber of Commerce is teeing it up and there'll be a full-court press on this starting any minute now.

12. I think they'll try the treason angle.

After he got back from Nam, he aided and comforted the enemy and caused suffering to our troops in the field and the prisoners of war, blah, blah, blah.

They'll make whatever outlandish claims they want without any hint of evidence. The cable shows will run it into the ground.

The good news is it won't change any votes. The bad news is it will keep Kerry's negatives up.

13. Its official. Photographs formerly hidden deep within the

bowels of a swift boat, prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that it really and truly was John F Kerry

Squeezing the Charmin.

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

17. He hasn't REALLY been a Senator all these years.

Instead he's been involved in a 'child pornography immigrations scheme' to exploit orphans.

20. I suspect the next attacks will be over votes on base closures,

especially if they are in swing states. Also votes over specific weapons systems that will be known to the majority of the general public, perhaps bombers or aircraft carriers. Voting against the construction of more aircraft carriers would be particularly damning at this time.

Also, Kerry shot J.R. :)

21. Kerry owns stock in Wal-Mart and Martha Stewart Inc.

That way, the GOP can blame Kerry for gender pay inequity and insider trading.
