Every four years this country undergoes a tremendous upheaval...one that viewed from outside would seem to rock the very foundations of liberty itself.
The political rhetoric has reached deep into murky, dark depths to recreate the past as they would have it be. To change a man from a hero to a coward and claim no knowledge of what is being done or by whom. This is some way to win an election.
Could (13) Thirteen men stand on a stage beaming with pride at their past leader and within days the world is told...not true, none of it...in fact they go a step further and say Kerry actually endangered their lives.
I. for one, believe the men that stood with Kerry..THEY were on his boat, THEY lived through it, THEY stand with him now.
Hey, I know what, can we find the "buddies" that Bush hung with and see if he "inhaled" or not? They could stand and testify for him at the Republican Convention.
Actually, if you think about it, it took Kerry less than seven minutes to jump off the boat and rescue his crewman....ask yourself "What would George do?" Oh, wait....we know that answer..we saw him in action in sunny Florida, molasses moves faster than he did.
We need a change, we need to be part of the rest of the globe...the world has gotten smaller as we have gotten smarter...a new administration could achieve alot more through diplomacy working with other countries to bring peace back.
I hate these hurtful ads the type of hype that should be banned. The PR firms that think them up have no right to be proud of their work..it does not serve the American public any good.
One more thing, I remember being behind the war in Vietnam in the early 60"s but turning against it myself after living in Japan and seeing the effects of the war on our boys. There was never any question about our men over there, very proud of them. But the war was fought for all the wrong reasons and I think history has proven that so I think Kerry coming back and doing antiwar stuff is understandable.
I believe we must defend our country, but follow the old adage "Walk softly and carry a big stick"....

very well put!
What I have noticed about campaign messages are that more often than not they are full of negative stuff on the guy they don't want us to vote for and very little good about their own guy. I don't really care about why these guys did 30/40 years ago, they weren't running for presidency then. I want to know about them NOW. And the truth would indeed be refreshing.
