I am proud of my candidate. Here is an excerpt from Time's new interview with Kerry,
"I've been in Worse Situations":
TIME
This past month has been pretty brutal for you, between the Swift Boat ads, the Republican Convention and the Vice President saying if you get elected, it would invite another terrorist attack. Have you come to any new conclusions about whom you're running against and what you have to do to win?
KERRY
I think the President's unwillingness to walk away from those comments makes it clear that he and the Vice President will say anything and do anything to get elected and to hold on to power. It was a shameful and outrageous effort.
But you know, I've been in worse situations in my life. The attacks don't attack me as much as they attack Americans and America. They're trying to distract people from the real issues that matter.
Kerry has been described as "having an iron butt for grunt work." Well that's what campaigns are. George Bush has never had to work half this hard in his entire life. When push comes to shove, little George is gonna burn out from the campaign grind (he is already showing signs of dementia; look for that to get much worse). The little smirking momma's boy cheerleader is fixing to get ground into a schmear under Kerry's big boot.
As we get into those cold days of October and people's juices begin to flow and they measure us one to one, I'm confident that my record of fighting for this country since I was a young man is going to eclipse the disastrous choices that have been made by George Bush.
Anyway read the inteview and see if it doesn't make you feel better about Kerry's ability to deal with this chimp and discuss the issues of
real importance to this country.
The Swift Boat has turned into the fire. The guns are loaded.
