"Cleland, on the other hand, has left the impression that he is some kind of a war hero - and got elected on the strength of that deception. For that, he should be held accountable!"
Kind of like how through the years, Kerry allowed the impression that he was an Irishman go unopposed, and probably got elected on the strength of that deception.
Sorry I'm reading this late, but I'm overseas and takes me longer to get on line. That KERRY faked being Irish really tee'd me off (I am Irish). My Grandfather received a Purple Heart when his Destroyer went down off Utah Beach in WWII. He lost an eye and all his teeth to German shelling...but he survived by a miracle. Where are KERRY's wounds?? I have Marine buddies with Purple Hearts who can lift up their shirts and show heinous scars. Where are KERRY's?? Did he write himself up for all of his medals?? Sounds like "Gundecking" to me!! Up until today I always believed the illusion that Max was a wounded in combat...I didn't know some knucklehead had dropped a grenade around him. I'm a retired USMC Tanker who works overseas now as a DOD civilian. I vote absentee in Virginia. Semper Fidelis!!
