The thought of Kerry losing to Bush under any circumstances is bad enough, but if these fallacious swift boat smear ads put Bush over the top, it would represent the ultimate triumph of immorality in American politics. As if it isn't enough of a joke already, our democracy will be rendered utterly meaningless.
So Kerry needs to run an ad saying the following:
"In 2000, the Bush campaign spread race-baiting rumors in South Carolina that John McCain had fathered an illegitimate black child. In 2002, the Republican party equated triple-amputee Vietnam veteran Max Cleland with Osama bin Laden. Now, they're lying about John Kerry's service to his country. If Bush can't run an honest campaign, how can we expect him to be an honest president?"
The wording could probably be tightened up, but you get the idea.
