My point is when people to spew hate day in and day out start jumping on your side, it is time to stand back and reevaluate what is going on. How is the general public going to approach all this? Kerry wanted the subject to be Vietnam, and not his last 4 years. He thinks (and maybe right) that he is a better 'hero' in uniform than Bush. Is that really the topic we want stressed here? Talk to any 2 people in combat and ask them what happened in a mission. My guess is you will get 2 different answers. War is a chaotic thing and like any event where your adrenalin is pumping, different people will see different things.
The Vets who were there have a great story to tell, but so do the Senators who watched Kerry vote against every major appropriations bill in the last decade.
Defend the Vets, but let them fight this battle, don't add more here than they are.
I am sorry but it is not the republicans spewing hate!!!!! This is a group of Vietnam vets who served with Kerry and knew his actions there and have a score to settle with him over his testimony in the Senate causing the tide to turn against the soldiers. This is their justified war with Kerry, brought on by his actions during and after the war, it has nothing to do with republicans other than it is fun to watch!
Somehow I would doubt that most of these guys would have come forward if he had not done such damage to the image of the Vietnam vet on his return. Nor do I think it wise for Republicans to be seen impuning these vets in anyway. Republicans will not touch this with a ten foot poll but they will enjoy every minute of the show.
My friend, if you're unhappy with this topic being stressed in this campaign...take it up with John Kerry. He is the one who has made this his cornerstone.
The challenge is coming from those who were there..who served with him. When did we become afraid of the truth?
As to the heroism of GWB you alluded to....there is no greater hero in my book than one who puts America first and battles the enemy both outside and within to keep me safe.
If you're saying that the sum total of Michael Savage is him 'spewing hate day in and day out' then you're both ignorant and lazy.
If you're not saying that about Michael Savage, then I misunderstood your post and please ignore above paragraph.
So we should just grab our ankles and get screwed, as it usually is with conservatives...
