I think combat is serious. Drinking in college

Drinking while driving, OTOH, is very serious.


I think Kerry has a chance to answer some questions.

Sure. And Bush has a lot of questions to answer too. If the matter is
important, then consider both sides.



The men who served with Kerry feel he is unfit for
command.

Actually, that's not at all true. A lot of men who served in Viet Nam at
approximately the same time are really angry that he became a peace
protestor, and while he was in the Senate for 20 years they said
nothing, and now that he's running against Bush, they feel compelled to
speak up... as a public service, of course... by means of an
organization that collects political donations...

Is the "Swift Vets" group somebody to take seriously? Yes, if you
already hate Kerry and need to find an excuse. Otherwise, not really.

Why is it that liberals take about the seriousness
of the charge requires more serious investigation
yet when the shoe is on the other foot, they
turn the subject back to something inconsequential
like Bush being AWOL where there is no proof
even after months of saying this.

Kerry is bragging about his war record. Ok. Lets
look at it and get the full story.

Why did he bring a camera with him?
Why did he put in for so many Purple Hearts?
Why do so many veterans, not in his chain
of command, dislike him?
Why did his entire chain of command think little
of him?
How did he get his first Purple Heart when the
doctor who treated him turned him down?
Why did he leave after only 4 months when
the normal tour of duty is 1 year?
Why did he get decorated for killing one
frightened kid in a loincloth?
Why did he throw away his medals and yet
keep them?
What do his medals mean if he didn't earn them,
threw them away, and put's them on display now?

I'm confused, and I want answers.

Now you tell me what questions you want Bush
to answer.

Then we'll look at the facts presented in each
case. We'll throw out the questions where there
are no supporting facts, and examine the rest.

You're confused because you need medication. Bush
has yet to say why he failed to show up for his physical.
Kerry went to VN. Bush didn't go to his physical.

I don't think Kerry goes with what the poles say. It is more like what he
says to the media is based on what the poles say people want to hear. He is
very consistant. You can tell by his voting record (the one exception is
voting for the war, which was under extreme circumstanced). He would send
billions to fund the UN and give them authority over us and our troops and
dismantle any defenses we have. I pray he does not get elected, for the
sake of my soon to be born grandson.

Think about the debt Bush is piling up for your granson to pay then maybe
write in somebody better - like Al Sharpton or Jessie Jackson. Either would
be better for your Grandson than Bush.
