Excerpt:
Don't let anyone tell you that since Kerry hasn't been president yet, his record isn't as relevant as that of President Bush. His record and his positions on the issues matter every bit as much as President Bush's presidential record. This isn't merely a referendum on the president's record. We only have, effectively, two choices, and if the president loses, Kerry is our next president. That's a very scary thought, and the Bush team must demonstrate just how scary it is.
The Bush campaign's task over the next month is clear. Beginning with the Cheney-Edwards debate, Team Bush must proudly defend the president's record and relentlessly showcase Kerry's record, from his Jane Fonda days, through his two decades of anti-defense in the Senate, to his reckless policy shifts on Iraq and his triumphant global-test-multilateralism today.
I understand President Bush's desire to be gentlemanly and polite, but he shouldn't do so at the expense of the public's edification on the scary Kerry record. As we've seen in the past few months, like a vampire, John Kerry can't stand the light of day. It's time for the president to pry open Count Kerry's coffin during daylight hours and let the sun shine in.
