In light of the incessant attacks upon Kerry's military service, his national security voting record and his policy prescriptions for Iraq/War on Terror, I reiterate my belief that the #1 issue of the election will be Iraq/War on Terror.
And I welcome this, because it SHOULD be the #1 issue. Moreover, the GOP line of attack, criticizing Kerry's military service, is wonderful for Kerry. He has a stellar record. Bush has an abysmal record. I embrace ALL discussion of this issue.
Further, as shown today, Cheney appears to be the wrong person to assail Kerry on his votes - just as Kerry has a record, so does Cheney. He said Reagan needed to cut defense. He was against the Apache. Calling out BushCo on this should be relatively easy.
Most importantly, on substance, BushCo's policies in Iraq/War on Terror are an unmitigated disaster. Kerry should welcome the opportunity to castigate BushCo for their criminal incompetence. Again, I welcome this focus as well.
But, but, but - Kerry and his Campaign MUST start now (really March, but I'll take now.) No more "rope a dope." No more waiting. Go get em Kerry. Not 'bring it on.' Rather "GO GET EM!"
