A Purple Heart may indicate courage, stupidity, or simply coincidence. The

wondering when one of the candidates will say what he is going to do, as

to what he would have done.

Baseless rhetoric. Since you weren't there you cannot decrement the value
of the Purple Heart.

So, that aside...

Do you mean when compared to "no nation building" and "no child left behind"
among several other campaign promises from which your man has done a 180?

It'll be done once we pick a candidate. What do you think Bush was saying
prior to getting the nod?

That's right, nothing.

Yes, I was there. Yes, I was wounded. Yes, I was awarded a Purple Heart. No, not
baseless rhetoric.

I mean that I keep wondering what any of the Democratic candidates plan to do,
as opposed to what he (or she) would have done. Most of them can't even seem to
keep their, "I would have done's" straight.

Do you pick candidates without knowing what they propose to do? Is it based on
who has the "best" anti-Bush rhetoric?

That's right, nothing.

Oh, now I understand.

Frankly, aside from one or two "announced" Dems who are nothing more
than "fringe" candidates, I think any of the Dems would do a better job
than Bush, as would almost any of the Repubs who ran against him in the
primaries.

Bush is a nincompoop. It's as plain as the chimp smirk on his face.

Who are the "fringe" Democratic candidates? The non-white ones?


Anybody that would align themselves with today's misguided and out-of-touch
Democratic party is a "fringe" candidate, IMO.

Yeah, but you're nothing but an inexperienced, unworldly, 30-year-old
dentist who lives in RetirementVillage. What the hell would you know?

I also wonder who he considers to be a "fringe candidate".

So, what you're saying is that your Purple Heart was based on stupidity or
coincidence so everyone else's must've been too.

Bush was chosen based on his anti Clinton rhetoric. Why shouldn't the dems
do the same thing?

A Purple Heart may indicate courage, stupidity, or simply coincidence. Do you
find it necessary to put words in my mouth? Go back and read the post. I did not
address the situation surrounding my PH.

No, Bush was chosen because he was the best of the two choices. Remember,
Clinton wasn't the other choice.

A Purple Heart is based on only one thing: being wounded in action while serving
as a member of the U.S. Armed Services.

So all one can reliably conclude is that the recipient of a Purple Heart served
on active duty, saw some sort of action and was wounded.

I don't think it takes a genius to agree that a serviceperson (awkward inclusive
language!) can get wounded as severely while doing something smart and brave as
they can doing something stupid and not-so-brave. Either situation meets the
criteria for the Purple Heart.
