How do you characterize a man who goes to war to lie his way to unearned medals and an early discharge, comes back to immediately trash his fellow soldiers and country, attends meetings to discuss assassinations of US senators, marries wealthy widows to access their money and power, then dumps them for someone a little richer, stabs his nation in the back during wartime, lies about his snooze-time in the Senate, and completely trashes a President doing his earnest best to protect Americans from massive terrorist attacks?
If John Kerry is not a bad man, I'd advise this author not to step outside his house, since he obviously does not have the common sense necessary to tell a saint from a thieving murderer. Some people, at least 43%, are astoundingly obtuse.
