I want to hear more hard hitting from John Kerry about Republican claims to help veterans while cutting Department of Veterans Administration!
I want to hear more hard hitting from John Kerry about Republicans lowering wages by cutting overtime pay.
I want to hear more hard hitting from John Kerry about how Republicans spoof the public about how exporting jobs is good for the USA and more about what Kerry would do than he has suggested so far.
I want to hear more hard hitting from John Kerry about how a war in Irac now is similar to the position the USA was in when he was back from Viet Nam, and how he would act similarly to end the thing. He has not shown his view to be similar to his view about the Viet Nam war.

Isn't there a campaign finance problem here?

As you point out, one of the officials of the Kerry-Edwards campaign is sending email to the Kerry-Edwards mail list saying "we can't collect money anymore, so please give money to the DNC so that they can run ads to get Kerry elected."

What good, exactly, is campaign finance reform doing anyone?

Umm. 527 groups? Not 427? Just the tiny flaw that shows in was in fact human made, not a celestially inspired fisking.

I've seen these *cough* 'volunteers' on the campus of UC San Diego asking every last person in sight if they would like to help defeat Bush. And in the few times I've observed this tactic, they almost always get 'No.' shoved in their faces. It just makes my heart swell with pride to see these young people doing their civic duty!!![/smartass]

Writing The Wrong Man...

Talking Back to Spam

Fisking Fun James Joyner lays down a most righteous fisking of an email from the Kerry Camp. Do read "Don't Yield an inch to George Bush" It's extremely good. Very funny too....

Why, James! All this time we've spent reading your most excellent blog, and never guessed you were hiding your fisking talents. Up there with little tiny lies and tim blair, this one was! Remind me not to irritate OTB.

"allied right-wing groups"

At least she has the axis/allies thing sorted out out correctly.
