In other words, 220 out of 229 Vietnam vets who *might* have some
possible tracable connection to Kerry decided that they would become
paid shills for Bush. It seems likely to me that many of these names
quoted are totally fictional anyway.


I notice that there are *no* veterans who served with GWB Jr coming
forward to say whether he was even there, much less how fit for command
he is. Oops, sorry, that's "changing the subject" isn't it?

It comes down to what you want to believe. You and Bart (and many
others) hate & despise Kerry... you want to believe anything bad about
him. IMHO that's not a good foundation for voting one way or the other,
and even less of a justification for making numerous & vehement public
statements.

It makes you wonder what the standard is. These same "Republicans"
were smearing John McCain in the last election. It seems they go to
great efforts to find the least qualified candidate and then spend all
their efforts trying to tear down those obviously more qualified.
There is no room for a moderate in the Republican Party, although they
will certain hide behind one of the few they still have left.

It certainly makes you wonder what the *real* agenda is. I suspect if
you dig a little deeper it is all about the relatively quiet issues of
abortion and Gawd and sex education and all the other right wing
cultural crap that they know they can't win with. They float these
"gay marriage" balloons to keep the barking seals of the right wing
happy and energized, but otherwise spouting all this other nonsense
just makes them look silly to the rest of us.
