Quote:Everything against Kerry was against his political record. I don't know how you feel about it, but I think someone's political record, especially on issues important during the election, is fair game. Or maybe you think Bush's actions the last 4 years are irrelevant and Kerry should stick to his own issues?
Simply repeating the mantra "he doesn't support the troops, he doesn't support the troops" is not 'dealing with the issues'. It's character assassination. If they wanted to get into the why of his actions, that would be dialogue. Simply dragging out base line rhetoric like that is setting the bar quite low.

Well, let's see, if he sent his country to war under false pretences, that would count as a betrayal, would it not?
Anyways, I'm going to drop it before it even starts. If you feel that the war was justified, then you will disagree with my perspective as you will see the anti-war sentiment of some prominent Democrats as "name dragging". For the most part, Occhi's right; it's a war of information, and there's not a whole lot of real meaning to it all anyways. Feel free to comment.
But whate'er I be,
Nor I, nor any man that is,
With nothing shall be pleased till he be eased
With being nothing.
