Most people think their own morality is 'firmly intact and healthy'. This includes terrorists, mass murderers, freedom fighters, martyrs, saints, etc.

I would find it more odd if he left out his leadership shown during a most important time of our country's history. It would be like leaving out the "experience" section of your job resume.
I am, therefore, not appalled nor even upset that he and his campaign folks are choosing to do so.
I do, however, believe there can certainly be correct and incorrect ways to present it. I have not seen the ads myself, so cannot say how I feel about them. The descriptions given do not seem too far out of line.
As some of you have already stated here, there will always be people who will find fault with what one party or the other does no matter what it is. We find a candidate to support and will back him/her up. The opposing candidate we will find things to discredit about him/her and/or their campaign. Human nature. ![]()

I forgot to add: I am not 100% in either the Bush camp nor the Kerry camp. In looking at my stand on several issues, I am probably more in line with Kerry's side; however, I have been, for the most part, in support of Bush's actions regarding the fight on terrorism.
Sometimes this "party" system of our government drives me nuts! Politics, Sex, Religion, and Computers........you can find extremists in all areas! Every 4 years we get hit BIG TIME with the political part of it.
My support of our President (or a candidate) has nothing to do with a "party tag" attached. I do not feel I have the right to tell anyone who disagrees with me that they, themselves, don't have the right to do so, anymore than I have a right to tell someone that if they are Buddhist rather than Protestant they are wrong.
Let's "agree to disagree" without mudslinging. We can leave that to the candidates ![]()

1. Inasmuch as John Kerry served in Vietnam, any negative reference to John Kerry's voting record during his 19 years in the Senate of the United States shall be deemed to be an attack on Kerry's patriotism.
2. Any images of Vietnam used in Kerry campaign commercials are not only appropriate, but serve as proof positive of John Kerry's fitness to serve the country as its president.
3. Any images of 9/11 used in Bush campaign commercials are not only inappropriate and exploitive, but shall also serve as proof positive that George Bush is unfit to serve the country as its president.
4. Any group of people who support the reelection of George Bush shall be deemed a "special interest." Any group of people who support the campaign of John Kerry shall be deemed a "constituency."
5. Referring to Kerry as a liberal is a Partisan smear, not a fact.
6. A change in position by Kerry is an adjustment or evolving position. Anything said by the President is a lie.
I think it reads:
4. Any group of people who support the reelection of George Bush shall be deemed "extremists." Any group of people who support the campaign of John Kerry shall be called "the people of the United States."
And also, Bo, if Kerry refers to 9-ll I doubt that we'll hear that "His shoes are stained with the blood of the 9-11 victims he's piling up to use for his campaign." as we have seen with Bush.
