I would really love to see John Kerry stand up at the convention and give a speech like this:
"Four years ago I was attacked for marrying a rich woman to further my political career. Do you hear those same Republicans coming after John McCain for marrying a rich heiress? And for dating her before he left his first wife, no less? This all before John won his first seat in Congress! And by the way, nobody gets arrested for driving after using too much of the product that Theresa's family sells!
(more below...)
"Four years ago the GOP and its backers attacked me for being a flip-flopper due to some...well...less than clear statements I may have made (self-deprecating chuckle). But has there been any bigger flip than John McCain on torture? Any bigger flop than McCain's position on a woman's right to choose? Is anyone a bigger waffler when it comes to support for the Bush tax cuts or warentless wiretapping than John McCain?
"Finally, I was also attacked for using my military background as a part of my campaign for president. Now the only response to criticism John McCain's campaign ever seems to have is 'noun, verb, POW!' And while a front group of paid GOP shills came out to attack my military record, and my service was mocked by Republicans at their convention...a fellow POW of McCain's has come out on his own to support the candidacy of Barak Obama.
So if you couldn't vote for flip-flopping, rich wife marrying, military service-touting John Kerry in 2004...how can you turn around and support flip-flopping, rich wife marrying, military service-touting John McKerry in 2008?!"
