How on Gods green earth could half of this country support Kerry?

Have they become so disillusioned in what America stands for that they are willing to lose it?

They know Kerry is a liar and an opportunist, yet they will still vote for him. Something is terribly terribly wrong with them.

I can't find any reasoning for their thinking.

"The Kerry committee's final report, issued in January 1993, delivered the ultimate insult to history. The 1,223-page document said there was "no compelling evidence that proves" there is anyone still in captivity. As for the primary investigative question —what happened to the men left behind in 1973—the report conceded only that there is "evidence . . . that indicates the possibility of survival, at least for a small number" of prisoners 31 years ago, after Hanoi released the 591 P.O.W.'s it had admitted to.

With these word games, the committee report buried the issue—and the men.

The huge document contained no findings about what happened to the supposedly "small number." If they were no longer alive, then how did they die? Were they executed when ransom offers were rejected by Washington?

Kerry now slides past all the radio messages, satellite photos, live sightings, and boxes of intelligence documents—all the evidence. In his comments for this piece, this candidate for the presidency said: "No nation has gone to the lengths that we did to account for their dead. None—ever in history."

Of the so-called "possibility" of a "small number" of men left behind, the committee report went on to say that if this did happen, the men were not "knowingly abandoned," just "shunted aside." How do you put that on a gravestone?

In the end, the fact that Senator Kerry covered up crucial evidence as committee chairman didn't seem to bother too many Massachusetts voters when he came up for re-election—or the recent voters in primary states. So I wouldn't predict it will be much of an issue in the presidential election come November. It seems there is no constituency in America for missing Vietnam P.O.W.'s except for their families and some veterans of that war."

You know, I've thought about it quite a bit lately and I can't understand it. John Kerry is very dangerous and I fear for the nation. Maybe we've spent so much time trying to make up for the wrongs of the past, instead of learning form it.

>>How on Gods green earth could half of this country support Kerry?<<<

I will tell you why Kerry has about 7 to 10 percent more support than he should: Iraq war.

I know people who still will vote for Bush but are not confident about how things are going in Iraq because of all the negative images coming at them from the MSM.

In the first debate Bush had the opportunity to tell a lot of people all at once why staying the course is the right thing, and why we went there in the first place was the right thing, and why Kerry's history of voting on defense issues is horrible and why Kerry's multiple positions on Iraq are dangerous.
He failed to do so in a effective way.

Now we are in a close race.
