John Kerry is despicable

I know he likes debates, but Kerry doesn't really seem to have a very sharp mind.

His greatest strengths are his ability to twist the truth and twist what his opponents say.

He is about as strong in depicting reality as a funhouse mirror is.

I'll say here that one reason Mark Steyn listed as to why he considers Kerry despicable, is while Kerry did served honorably in Vietnam, his actions there (as Steyn explained) are cancelled out by the outrageous lies he told when engaging in his anti-war activities upon his return to the U.S.. Steyn listed some of these that Kerry told during congressional testimony.

Steyn pointed out that while Kerry wishes to reap the honor of his own service, Kerry's anti-war actions contributed to other vets returning from Vietnam being reviled and spat upon.
