I also understand your concern about the bumper sticker, and people not realizing it is an NVA flag in the middle. People who aren't as close as some of us may not see the significance.
It is very easy for me to get worked up into a lather about Cash and Kerry when he starts to expound upon his war record. Coming from a family that has a long and honorable active duty and Guard background I hate it when individuals stand up and say:
"I did this, I did that".
My experience with these individuals is that the telling and yelling often exceed the doing.
I listen to the WarRoom with Quinn and Rose each morning when I am on my way to work. Jim had a slant on this war record thing that backs up my feelings of Hillary riding into the convention on a white horse at the last moment and "rescuing" the party, and becoming the standard bearer. Quinn sees the machinations and conniving of McAuliff,Carville, and Bubba setting up Dean and Kerry and then having them destroyed, or in Dean's case, self destruct.
Hillary doesn't want to face Rudy in '06, because if she loses the Senatorial race she is spoiled for '08, and she can't risk Kerry winning in '04 because it would then be another eight years before she could run for the big prize.
The analysis of what is happening, why, to whom, and when is almost as much fun as picking up a sign and getting out in front of people.
Thanks for your thoughts.
BTW, I am still taking the Bush43 administration to task for their run to the left. That won't end.
