New Kerry Complaint: Hatchet-Men Are "Smearing" His Senatorial Record

Some sort of shadowy organization rumored to be largely funded by/made up of Republicans -- calling itself the "Grand Old Party" or "the National Republican Party" -- is now attacking poor John Forbes Kerry's Senate record as well.

Rumor has it that those who "served with" John Forbes Kerry in the Senate are peddling all sorts of filthy lies about his proposals to slash military and intelligence spending. Some even allege that he voted against the first Gulf War (before he voted for it), but such allegations are "unsubstantiated," as they have nothing to back them up except the Congressional Record.

Yes, friends, Scrappleface (linked by MarcLand) is informing us this will be a very dirty race indeed.

And by "dirty," we mean that Republicans will attempt to beat a liberal in an election.

Is this what democracy has come to? Republicans thinking they can just run ads and donate to causes and express their opinions and even vote?

I DON'T GET IT. IS THIS AN ATTEMPT AT SARCASM? IT WOULD MAKE MORE SENSE WITH A "SMEAR BUSH" ANGLE.

Yeah, just like the Left has been so very accommodating regarding Protest Warrior, hence their hack of the site.

They can dish it out but they can't take it.

Here's a piece of advice for anyone on the Left - if can't handle the occasional nip at your heels, don't run with the big dogs.

The following URL details Kerry's role(s) if any in much of the legislation he takes credit for championing or opposing:

Max Cleland will break his silence and come forward claiming that he served in the Senate with John Kerry, and the Republicans are lying about Kerry's record.

OT, but Mark triggered something for me. Is it just me, or has Max Cleland become the Larry Flynt of the Senate?

But it looks like the Clinton era tactic of destroying the accuser doesn't seem to be as effective anymore.
And despite all the Sturm und Drang about SBV Ad #1 next to nothing on Ad #2. I think that Ad #2 deserves a tremendous amount of critique and analysis. Where's "Spit" Matthews and Kreep Oberman (or however you spell it)?

If Max Cleland is the Larry Flynt, does that make Bob "B.D. Slam" Dole the Hugh Hefner?

...or has Max Cleland become the Larry Flynt of the Senate?

He's the "amputee Barbie" to go along with "G.I. John" Kerry and the "Ken" Edwards doll. (all accessories sold separately)
