There can be no doubt that the Republicans are going to attempt to smear Kerry as unpatriotic and as an enemy of veterans. So I say bring it on. A 527 should run some form of this 60-second commercial:
Narrator: George Bush wants to say John Kerry is unpatriotic. The truth is that while John Kerry went to Vietnam, George Bush used family connections to enter the National Guard and then skipped out on the final year of his service.
John Kerry saved the lives of fellow soldiers in Vietnam. George Bush dressed up in a flight suit and declared Mission Accomplished. Over the next twelve months over 400 American soldiers were killed in Iraq.
John Kerry earned a Silver Star, a Bronze Star and three Purple Hearts for his service to America. George Bush led us into a war using false information. When American soldiers died in his war, he ordered their bodies returned to America in the dead of night. Then he didn't even have the common decency to attend their funerals.
Ask yourself, who's the real patriot?
I doubt it would be hard to find the proper images to go with these words.
