I don't think a man who actually negotiated with the enemy during a war has ever run for President before. Bill Clinton left Oxford during his final year and spent months in the Soviet Union. He also stayed with Communist leaders in Poland. This was during the Berlin Wall days, and people didn't just stroll into the Soviet Union like a Western European backpacking trip. The press finds Bush's being in Alabama far more suspicious than they did Clinton's sojourn in the Soviet Union, and he has never accounted for his actions and whereabouts during that time. I don't know if he negotiated with the enemy, but he sure negotiated with their bosses.
I agree that Clinto did some questionable things during that period. But they really don't compare with what Kerry did.
Kerry gave aid and comfort to the enemy. People complain about Jane Fonda going to Hanoi. Kerry was meeting with the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese long before Fonda went to Hanoi.
Fonda broadcast lies about the US soldiers, called them war criminals, on Hanoi radio. Kerry did it on Meet The Press, Dick Cavett, 60 Minutes and in front of the US Senate.
Fonda never negotiated with the enemy--never told Congress that they had to adopt the Viet Cong's own "People's Peace Treaty" like Kerry did.
Hell, one of Kerry's "Band Of Brothers" even entertained the VC and NVM with the VC Natinal Anthem and The Ballad Of Ho Chi Minh:
