They have known this for years, long before he ever became their Presidential candidate. They only have themselves to blame for the damage done.

In 2004 before the presidential election, a family member who is staunchly democrat was telling me that if we stayed in Iraq my grandchildren would be serving there. (don't agree but anyway) ... I told this person that Bush might not be perfect, but Kerry was a TERRIBLE candidate. He agreed. :-)
