You can debate different issues between Bush and Kerry, but try to smear the guy who actually served in vietnam from the guy who dodged it? That could backfire. I don't think that is the way to play it. Bush is better off taking the high road and focus on jobs and the economy, that's what people find more important.
Wow you just slapped the hundreds of thousands of americans who defended and served this country in the guard and the reserves.... Wow, thats amazing what people will do out of political fanaticism. Bush flew F102 interceptors, at the time they were one of the principal air defense assets tasked with defending the USA from bomber attack, which was a real issue at that difficult time of the cold war. I guess that doesnt count for you, all of them were "dodging" the war..... There were plenty of easier ways to dodge the vietnam war than flying jet fighters in the military, for example howard Dean went skiing in the rockies and Bill Clinton visited Moscow... Heck, if you wanna be really judgemental even Kerry got out of vietnam early and got an easy desk job....
Tell me sixpence how do you account for kerry faking the throwing away of "his" medals and ribbons over the white house fence during a war protest, when In fact he threw away another man's medals and kept his own, which he went on to display in his senate office? That is serious issue of honesty and being genuine... In his recent turn as "war hero" presidential candidate he touts the very medals and awards which he FAKED THROWING AWAY... He is a potato of lies of conveniance and ploitical expedience. He is the anti-special interest candidate who took more special interest money than any other member of senate during his 19 years. He is the "tough on national security" candidate who voted to gut funding or every major project from the F15, to the M1 Abrams and Bradley to the AH 64 Apache and the F22 and countless others. He is the national security candidate who voted to cut intelligence spending for the CIA... He is the "moderate national candidate" with a voting record solidly left of even his mentor and fellow massachusets senator Ted Kennedy.... A real winner there, real honest...
You know what I'm happy that lunatic Dean is finished, but this Kerry guy is turning out to be just as bad - and likey worse when it comes to honesty....
Anyway thats why I dont vote - why soil myself by investing my vote in this filth?
