"I promise you that when the Republican smear machine trots out the
same old attacks in this election, this is one Democrat who will fight
back," he said.
"I've fought for my country my entire life, and I'm not about to back
down now."
Bush's GOP campaign distributed a video linking the four-term
Massachusetts senator to special interests.
The Internet launch limited the video's audience, but the attention
surrounding it magnified its impact.
In response Saturday, Kerry's campaign sent its own Web video to
300,000 supporters, accusing Bush of being "the politician who's taken
more special interest money than anyone in history."
The video claims Bush is cozy with polluters, pharmaceutical
companies, big banks and investment firms, and says that Enron is the
president's largest contributor.
Kerry has run at least a dozen TV ads assailing Bush or his policies
over the past six months.
"Instead of attacking America's problems, George Bush and our
opponents have once again turned to attack politics," Kerry told the
Wisconsin Jefferson Jackson Day Dinner in Milwaukee.
As if speaking to those GOP rivals, he said, "You're not going to get
away with it this time. Not in November of this year."

"These results show that our campaign is uniting Americans from
different parts of our country and walks of life in a common purpose,"
Kerry said in a statement of thanks to voters in Washington, D.C.
And in thanking Nevadans for their "lovely valentine," too, Kerry
promised anew to take the fight to President Bush.
"I promise you that when the Republican smear machine trots out the
same old attacks in this election, this is one Democrat who will fight
back," he said.
"I've fought for my country my entire life, and I'm not about to back
down now."
