What a compete assinine discussion. Can't we all agree Bush should have been beaten hands down in 2004 and Kerry ran an absolutely horrible campaign that resulted in him losing to Bush? Really, take off the partisan blinders and you will all realize that simple little thing.

I really can't argue with that. If Kerry hadn't allowed the entire month of August to be talking points of the swift boaters and would have answered their accusations sooner, rather than sit silent, he may have been elected.
  
If Senator Kerry hadn't made his service the focal point of his campaign and instead talked about why he was better suited to be president than George W Bush, there would have been no swift boaters.

He ran a stupid campaign.

1st off, that is bullshit and you know it. He would have been swiftboated even more diligently had he been able TO run a decent campaign... Christ, we still have fucking conservative idiots claiming Obama, who DID run a very successful campaign, is not a natural born citizen, is a muslim and a whole host of other idiotic statements... 

and my comment from many postings ago in this thread..

John Kerry's non-personality and haughtiness is what did him in. The swift boat bullshit, and it was absolute fucking bullshit, was yet another typical right wing ploy to make a hero look like an asshole... and there is nothing like someone getting a little revenge (John O'Neill) for being made to look like the complete asshole that he was by Kerry in the early 70's...
