If Kerry was the person bashing on Bushes Vietnam experience... (hereâs what separates normal bantering and âbashingâ from slander and defamation) with OUTRIGHT LIES, then I would condemn him also. There is something morally wrong about this and it needs to be told! I wonât let you condemn me from behind your âoh, your just a bush basherâ façade because personally I donât care too much for either candidate and this isnât a matter of simple bashing for me, but I question the ethics of someone who does these things rather they be republican, democrat, liberal, Bush, Kerry, I donât care! I think itâs very important to acknowledge what is taking place and disregard the concepts of party lines here. Can we do that? Just for a moment?
Obviously your next course of action will be to convince me that they have both done and will do political actions that boarder on the corrupt. This is undeniably true in the world of politics, but when your hand is caught paying the vultures to spread your lies and then you deny responsibility even with a paper trail a mile long⦠Iâm sorry, but you have got to be either coincidently naive (as in this wouldnât be the first time something like this has happened) or morally corrupt. For me, moral corruption is a serious fallacy of any leader, but I donât know how you feel about it.
I feel I have much more to say, but the words I hold within support or denounce either candidate and Iâm trying to be deferential in a nonjudgmental way. I hope you donât take this post in the wrong light because I mean no insult to you, but rather simply want to provide clarity to my previous post as I feel you misunderstood it.
