END of discussion about Kerry's service right here

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

I honestly do NOT get all this hoo-ha coming from the Hatefilled Right about Kerry's service. It's such an obvious smear job, whereas questions about bush's service are legit, seeing as we've never gotten straight answers.

In fact, I'm quite surprised the Hatefilled Right even has the balls to bring this up, considering their guys' AWOL past.

So, every single Kerry supporter should answer every single smear with questions about bush's service. Hey, if Kerry's is up for grabs, then bushie's sure as hell is.

And guess who comes out looking better on the military service front?

Then once they get the message that we aren't going to take any of this crap, we can MAYBE move on to matters of national importance.

1. i always tell people

if all kerry got was a hangnail in vietnam, it still beats out awol!

2. Another thing that's pissing me off about all this

is that as long as the right can keep Kerry people arguing about this, then no one is TALKING ABOUT BUSH'S SORRY RECORD AS PRESIDENT!!!

No one is talking about the crappy economy, the freaking mess in Iraq, how we pissed off the world under bush, etc etc.

It's what they want. Don't give it to 'em. Every single question/smear about Kerry's service can be answered on his website and for every question about his service, bush gets back TWO.

5. avoiding discussing * is the point

keep everyone debating this shite. you can't play offense when you have to play defense constantly.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

6. Exactly

that's why I say every Kerry service question (smear) needs to be answered with TWO about bush, THEN IMMEDIATELY point out that no one is discussing matters of national importance because of this bullshite.

3. Republicans hate soldiers,

especially Viet Nam Vets. They smeared McCain and then Gore and now Kerry.

Republicans love the Pentagon, however, because they can dip into the taxpayer funded treasury to enrich themselves and their backers.

4. Don't forget

the guy who was the triple amputee, McLeland (is that his name?)

7. Max Cleland

They've turned his VOLUNTEER service upside down too. If these scumbags were in Iraq today, they'd have been Lynndie Englund types. That's what I tell them.

8. Here's their "logic" - Clinton = draft dodger = unfit to serve, Kerry =

volunteer for vietnam = too many medals = not enough blood = unfit to serve, Cleland = served in vietnam = left 3 limbs = unfit to serve

Square that and I guarantee you just had a labotomy and registered republican. I'm not even gonna go into the repuke formulas!

9. Don't forget McCain -

Too long a POW = unfit to serve.
