Please no more Swift boat

OK That's enough about the Swift boat and Vietnam.

Bush's game is to pull Kerry off message.Is the election about Vietnam and Swift boats?No it is about no jobs, getting out of Iraq and no health care.

It is still the economy and what we should be hearing from John now is -Are you better off now than you were 4 years ago? That's the message we should be hearing but I can't hear it hear in Florida over the swift boat story.

My sister works at Barnes in Noble in Tampa. People screamed at her all day today because they don't have the book put out by the anti Kerry swift boat people. They accused Barnes and Noble of being liberal and not carrying any pro bush books. Bush and the Republicans have got the christian people down here whipped into a feeding frenzy.

When Kerry responds by calling for Bush to call off the dogs on this issue it does 2 things.

1 The news cycles have all been about that and not how bad Bush is for the economy.
2. It makes Kerry seem like he's asking for Bush's help like a kid on the playground asking for an adult to help him becasue the bully is picking on him.

Have faith in the American people that we know crap when we see it and most people I hear from know that this swift boat stuff is the politics of distraction and Bush trying to get us off messege. We know Bush is telling them what to do. We don't care about them- Kerry is a vet and that's good enough for us. Don't get stuck in the past. Right now we care more about how to pay the rent and feed our kids.

Repeat after me: Are you better off now than you were 4 years ago???
Most people will identify with that not the nut heads.
Please no more Swift boat.
