How did Bush get in the National Guard and avoid Vietnam?

Let the truth prevail. What is wrong with the Swift Boat ads that trash Kerry's Vietnam record? Is it because they are 527 ads? No. Is it because this is negative campaigning? No. Is it because we should not criticize war veterans? No. Is it because only the Bush Campaign organization and the Republican Party should be allowed to run TV ads about the candidates? No.

What is wrong with the ads is they are full of lies and distortions. Lies that have been proven to be wrong. That is what is wrong. While polls show Americans generally don't believe the ads, the polls also show the ads have been effective in lowering Americans' opinion of Kerry. And Karl Rove and the Republican campaign machinery know this. And more lies will follow. Because even lies can damage Kerry.
