At this point in the election, I don’t think Kerry’s discharge would make any difference with the voters. Everyone who thinks Kerry’s conduct after the Vietnam War is important has already made up their mind about who they are going to vote for.
The sad thing about it is that for the Democrat party, Kerry’s discharge from the Navy is not at all important. Please remember that the Democrat party is nothing but a loose coalition of Godless communists, socialists, criminals, perverts, race-baiters, parasites, opportunists, and the feeble minded, and as such, an Honorable Discharge from the U.S. Navy just has no meaning to them.
It might steal away some of the squishy middle... 3 or 4 percent, just like happened in 2000. Thereby Krushing Kerry even worse than he's already going to get Krushed!
Bush will win, I have faith.
"At this point in the election, I don’t think Kerry’s discharge would make any difference with the voters. "
- Are you insane? Kerry has based his entire campaign and suitability to be CIC on his "war hero" status. If this is true, he will be the first candidate for President to lose EVERY state.
Your point is incorrect. There is a large percentage of red-blooded Americans who would slough off from their life-long, staight-democratic-ticket-voting credentials and not vote for Qerri if he were to have gotten an other than dishonorable discharge.
What we may be witnessing, however, is a bigger, latent possibility. We know that Jean's medals apparently needed to be reissued. It could be that Qerry already knew when he threw somebody's medals over the fence, that his own were tantamount to, if not already, being stripped from him by virtue of the Navy's machinations against his traitorous activity.
Qerri may have been reacting rather than striking out boldly of his own initiative in his medal/ribbon tossing.
