There can be no dialog because Kerry denies being anti-millitary! You said they are "Simply repeating the mantra "he doesn't support the troops, he doesn't support the troops", so no those prove they have gone into detail. Kerry has yet to defend that record and instead focuses on Vietnam, the environment, and social health care.
Quote:3.) Doesn't have much to do with my point, but is a moronic oversimplification... Granted, Kerry should be more clear on what he does, in fact, propose. However, it's clear that not supporting a particular incarnation of such reforms is not necessarily indicative of his own vision.Summary of your statement: Bush is a moron, but Kerry is even dumber.
Quote:The fact of the matter is not that Kerry doesn't support the troops or the military - he merely believes that the money could be better used than to pump it into a machine that already spends more than nearly all of the world's militaries combined.Yeah that's been tried before. You think we should try a third time for World War 3? And your "all of the world's militaries combined" is cute but doesn't take into account the % of GDP in which it's just average. We just have more money to actually spend.
Quote:Theirs is a misdirected rhetoric. If they wanted to deal with the issues, then they would talk about why his more liberal vision for the country is wrong and why their own perspectives are right, not veil the issues with this one-dimensional rhetoric of military patriotism.Or they could point out obvious flaws in his record and force him to account for or pay for it politically. So far he has chosen the second option.
