It is impossible (and undesirable?) to keep Bush discussion out of Kerry topics, and Kerry discussion out of Bush topics.
That said, the Kerry "Swift Boat" theme was well covered in its own topic, now closed at 600+ messages. Might it be best to keep that (and directly related) material out of this topic. If one must, start a new Kerry topic (I guess).
That said part 2, this topic indeed is " George W. Bush's qualifications to be President". That theme should be independent of whomever Bush is running against.
