I've long maintained that the Democrats must learn how to fight like the republicans (dirty, that is) in order to survive this election. Kerry took the high road when he refused to engage the distasteful and dishonest swiftboat veterans smear campaign. The high road doesn't work when you are pitted against those who believe that winning at any cost is the only objective, no matter how much damage it does to the country as a whole. I've also qualified this by saying if the democrats do to McCain what they neocons did to Kerry, there would be outrage from the right (and from the media). Well...now we will get our chance to see how everyone responds, as one of John McCain's fellow POWs warns that Jittery John doesn't have the right stuff to president. Follow me
Frankly, I don't believe this rises to the level of true swiftboating. This is just a rational first person account and opinion piece. It isn't a character assassination built on lies and cut-throat politics.
