Doug,

I wish Kerry did not act the way he did, and hang out with the people
that he did hang out with during the Vietnam era.

Great. I wish I had not hung out with some of the people I did during
the Viet Nam era. So what?

Are you comparing Bush's service to Kerry's? No, you're just badmouthing
Kerry 'cuz you think it's cool.

.... What he did was bad. He called is
"brothers" evil, satanist baby killers.

No, he said that there were atrocities being committed by *some*
servicemen in Viet Nam. That was a fact.


If you're OK with the likes Micheal Moore & Jane Fonda & Kerry telling
you what to think & how to vote, then OK... I prefer a bit more
freedom,and truth personally.

Why assume that either of them are telling me what to do? The facts are
out on the street... jobs are down, the economy sucks, the Attorney
General is locking people up forever without cause, the national debt is
skyrocketing, the poor are paying higher taxes while the rich skate,
health care has become a lottery, the pollution of our air & water is
going full steam ahead, the Army is tied down in a pointless war, our
military has been ordered to torture prisoners, our intellignece
services have been forced to wear ideoligical blinders...

The list goes on and on and on.
