Here's a line Kerry should use
"They tell lies about me because they dare not tell the truth about themselves."

You're welcome, Senator. Just send me a ticket to the inauguration.

1. Nice one!
Mine is:

"Instead of hope for the future, the Republicans choose to poison the present."

3. That sounds like...
...someone's line (forget who - someone here remind me), "If they'll stop telling lies about me, I'll stop telling the truth about them."

6. This psychology is well understood in debating
it is all about calling attention away from your own weaknesses.
You do make an eloquent summation of it.
