Oddly enough, I've had two apolitical friends email me today with doubts/cynicism/complaints about Senator Kerry's history.
I'm not even in favor of going back so far for a current political campaign (and it's too personal for me), but clearly word is getting out through unconventional news media sources about this and other Kerry stories.
5 Legislative Days Left Until The AWB Expires
Not even when kerry's been using Vietnam as a primary theme establishing his qualifications?
But .. these friends contacting you for the truth .. exactly what the liberals hate about the internet.
Good point. It is precisely the reason that what Kerry or Bush did 30 years ago.
Bush has proved what he is capable of. He has lead this country through one of the most tumultuous times in our history and we are not yet clear from what threatens. The guy hasn't done everything right in the last 2 years.
But, at least Bush has actually been at work. Kerry has been so wrapped up in his quest for power that he hasn't even marginally discharged his duties and responsibilities as a Senator.
Then, you look at what Kerry has actually done in government and it doesn't even resemble leadership...certainly not the leadership of a free, capitalist society. As Garth said, "Live in the NOW!"
Seriesly though, one has to think that perhaps the Kerry campaign is relishing talking and arguing over the past. It may just be 1 giant Red Herring to avoid talking about Kerry's actual record. What think?
Everytime a Republican or Bush-support criticizes Kerry actual record, they pull out "John Kerry is a war hero, has a Silver Star, 3 purple hearts, etc." and re-focus the debate on 30 years ago. The democraps have forced the debate to be about John Kerry's service.
Interestingly, this gives them two distinct benefits: 1) it avoids the discussion about his actual public service (or lack thereof) and 2) allows them to call Bush, Cheney and anyone that remotely agrees with Bush as being "mean-spirited" (a pasttime that liberals and demoSCUM have enjoyed for decades).
I just can't believe that the throughly investigative media present in this country isn't sleuthing through this story left and right....oh, wait a second...I was in Bizarro world for a second there. Breathe....
The RNC called me for money yesterday. I told them no. Why? Because I'm sending a check to the Swift Vet guys.
John O'Neill has been much more effective in proving what a liar Kerry is that the RNC. I can't believe I'm even saying this.
I'm with the camp that says if he wants to run on it, it's fair game. Just like if Terayza wants to be on the stump, she's fair game too. And I'm not a tough man, but if I had to go through Carrie to get to Terayza, I don't think it would be a problem.
