The Kerry Strategy
By PoliPundit ~ January 26th, 2004 @ 5:16 am
Mickey Kaus thinks that, rather than pointing out his more-liberal-than-Ted-Kennedy voting record, Republicans should stick to pointing out John Kerry’s jaw-dropping lies and flip-flops:
I say stick with the “he-threw-some-other-guys’-medals-over-the-wall” character attack. Of course, Kerry sympathizers have a plausible rationalization for that behavior, news of which comes as a shock to anyone who followed Kerry’s anti-war protest at the time. Kerry sympathizers have a plausible rationalization for his discordant Iraq war votes too. And the affirmative action cave. And the we-thought-he-was-Irish thing. They have many, many plausible rationalizations. Rationalizing Kerry’s opportunistic behavior–crafting the tortured paragraph, smoothing it out, road testing it, indoctrinating sympathetic reporters–is the new Democratic growth industry. … At least supporting Clinton only required one major suspension of common sense (on sex).
