I would be rather prophetic to have joined in 2000 just to say that, LOL!
sorry...I had misread it...was thinking that you were a newbie...apology extended!
I don't know how old you are but John Kerry has been despised by vets and their families for many years. Imagine if you had a son, friend, brother, or neighbor killed in VN and you turn on the news and Cronkite's got Kerry on telling you that your boy was a baby killer and he died for nothing.
Kerry didn't have to make his war experience the centerpiece of his campaign, but that's what he chose to do. Over four bloody (or should I say bloodless) months! The problem is Kerry spent a longer time protesting and lying about the war than he spent in it, but he figured his friends in the media would be able to give him a pass since they were able to ignore the initial press conference the swifties held back in May. The only problem is, Kerry is so self absorbed he hasn't noticed that the news isn't restricted to what Walter Cronkite tells us anymore.
