These guys were proven to be liars in the 70's, proven to be liars
in the '80's and proven to be liars just last week. They can repeat
their lies in perpetuity but that doesn't turn lies into truth.

OK, let's suppose that is true (it isn't, but let's say it is). Then
that absolutely proves that Bush (and his campaign) absolutely can't be
behind the lies. But moreover, whether lies or truth, it acknowledges
that they've been saying these things for 30-plus years, which proves
Bush and his campaign aren't behind any of the assertions.

So, again, it's a "pick your problem" situation: giving you your own
rope, Bush isn't and can't be behind it, so he has no right,
responsibility, or means to stop it, and Kerry (and his campaign) know
this isn't and couldn't be something cooked up by Bush or his campaign.
Yet they repeatedly and publicly say otherwise. And in the meantime,
hired, paid, and official members of the Kerry campaign serve on
multiple 527 boards and advisory committees that do "smear" ads on
Bush...face it, best case, Kerry is, again, no better than Bush.

HTH,
