Personally i commend Kerry for staying positive where Bush has not. Bush has no morals.

Why is it that everyone thinks the other side is being negative, but their side is all positive. The only reason that Kerry was nominated is that he went negative against Bush in the primaries. The Democratic primaries were a contest who could be the most Anit Bush and still appear mainstream enoug ( to the Democrat base) to be elected in November. There was 6 months of speeches attacking Bush and Bush ran ads in response to those attacks.
It should also be pointed out that Bush has NEVER publicly questioned Kerry's patriotism. This is a common defense of the left. If you point out a weakness on the part of a Democrat based on their record you are accused of questioning their patriotism. No, I am questioning their judgement, leadership, and political philosophy. That is legitimate discourse in a political debate.
