There are some in the GOP who have called Kerry pro-terrorist.  Possibly due to the ACLU's firm pro-Kerry stance while at the same time pursuing the release of the POW's at Guantanimo.

I think it's bullsh**t to call anyone who would take all the sh**t we the people dish out to the President as well as in some cases up to a 90% pay cut and uncaring or undedicated.  If they're willing to do the job with all the sh**t that it brings then noone can honestly call them unpatirotic.  That goes for Republicans bashing Clinton and Democrats bashing Bush.

The problem with killing the terrorists overtly in a "War on Terror" is that they become martyrs and inspire more new recruits. For every terrorist we kill overtly, 10 more join up.  Its better to wage a covert operation on terrorists.  Make them fall off the face of the earth, make their meeting places mysteriously collapse, make their arms caches have mysterious gas explosions.  That kind of thing is the smart way to do it.  Of course, the President needs some sort of overt cause for PR, but using anti-terrorism as the cause is not a smart way to a more secure nation.

Fiscal conservatism would score big time in the South and the Midwest. A candidate like Gov. Warner or Sen. Bayh would sweep quit a bit.
