You’d think after the Swift Vets had nailed him on his backstabbing them in his false statements to Congress, and on his false statements about Christmas in Cambodia, that proving himself to be trustworthy would be job #1 for the Kerry campaign.
But his new ad shows that dealing with perceptions of Kerry as untrustworthy, is not even on his campaign’s radar.
Does Kerry really think he’s fooling anyone with this new ad?
Kerry spoke as the Democratic Party decided to air a new 30-second ad in battleground states, a commercial designed to stress the same points the Massachusetts senator covered. It accuses Bush of “a failure in leadership.”“Mounting casualties, costing $200 billion and counting,” the ad says. “Now they call it a ‘catastrophic success.’ They say they ‘miscalculated.’ And now they say the war on terror is unwinnable.”
I doubt anyone would take Kerry’s claim, that Bush said the war is unwinnable, at face value. Anyone would question whether Kerry was telling the truth about that. And anyone looking into it would immediately find that in fact, the claim is not true.
Yet that’s the hook Kerry’s hanging his hat on in his first new public statement unrelated to the Swift Vets in weeks.
It’s like he’s purposely trying to be seen as an untrustworthy politician.
