Reply #32: Why would you assume that?

Do you think there's anybody actually in the military who isn't aware of who tried to cut their pay? Do you think that an ad is going to convert dittoheads?

Frankly I think that an ad pointing out that Kerry opposed the extra $87 billion for Iraq is a plus for Kerry...since most Americans didn't (and still don't) think that was such a hot idea, given the needs here at home. And nobody is under the delusion that the $87 billion meant a pay raise for the military.

It's a long campaign....there's no sense in shooting your wad in March...(which is why the current Bush campaign stinks of flop sweat).
