What if Muthra's not senile?
What if he knows exactly what he is doing?
What if he wants this country to flee in the face of terrorism for the sole purpose of political gain by his party?
What then?
Doesn't the possiblity that all of the above are reasons enough to go after his record to take away his ability to stand upon it and preach to the masses.
Democrats aren't just playing around with the safety and moral of our troops when Muthra speaks, they are tempting fate by dropping our guard against future terrorist attacks, so that they can be the ones that respond to the next attack.
Compared to the overall security and defence of this country, Muthra's records and awards mean nothing!
Compared to Kerry, Murtha's use of medals means nothing. Even his downfall pales in significance to Kerry's. If you guys refute this guy based on phony medals, even part way, that's a main piece of valueable ammo against Kerry that gets slightly diluted. It doesn't matter whether you think it's deserved or not, it's the public perception of "always" going after the medals that dilutes the very serious charges against Kerry.
