Reply #80: If you really worked in politics or held a political or public office [View All]

[merh]

you would not be dissing a man who has dedicated his life as a public servant and has held office for 30 plus years. You could not be ridiculing someone with Kerry's record if you actually knew what is entailed in holding office and making a difference. He has done both and both with honor. To fall for the spin of the right or the ideals of the libs is to live in a false sense of reality.

Raising money and glad handling do not count and/or compare to holding office and doing the job. That's like saying I pay to watch a football game and have been to hundreds over the years so I am as talented as any athlete on the field. Wrong - hold office - hell run for office - put your reputation and life out there, let your family be ridiculed, your past dragged up and every little mistake you or your Aunt Sal or cousin Bob did be brought into the light of day.

Have your family tormented, your honor and service called in to question, your wife or husband ridiculed, then maybe, just maybe you will reach a level that is close to comparable to Kerry.

I am not defending the indefensible, you are - you have no clue as to the realities of politics and while living in your comfortable world of principles you close your eyes to the simple fact -- it ain't that f'ckin simple.

Kerry's record does not need to be defended.
