Dear Sen. John McCain
How does it feel to watch the surrogates of George W. Bush do to John Kerry what they did to you a few years ago? They impugn his military credentials, in support of a Texas preppie wannabe punk who skipped the draft based on his father's connections and can't even get anyone to believe he showed up at the Texas National Guard officers' club.
I used to think that you, Senator, were a man of personal strength and integrity. But as I watch you stand behind our Electoral College miracle worker, you're starting to look a lot more like hacks like Orrin Hatch and Arlen Spector.

Yeah, be sure to check out the latest video response from the Kerry campaign... featuring John McCain.

Could you somehow get yourself on national t.v. and say that?

It's not as if Mr. Kerry didn't ask for it by making his Vietnam service the centerpiece of his campaign. Watching the convention, one could have concluced that John Kerry walked from the SwiftBoat directly to the podium. His lackluster time in the senate was conveniently ignored.

I imagine that it feels remarkably like watching Kerry's (or the DNC's) surrogates do their hatchet jobs on Bush for the last three years. Why do you ask? Funny how it was all good clean fun when the 527s were all on the Dem side of the aisle, huh?

A little objectivity in Portland please? You impugn both McCain and Bush for doing the same to Kerry, who does the same thing to Bush through a multitude of exempt committees and media groups. And McCain, the one person who could have overlooked principle to ride the Dem ticket into the White House, is no longer a person of integrity?

I admired Sen. John McCain . . . up until today.
