Did you check out the site on Kerry? A war hero who was grazed three times and put in for a transfer home. Then he gets out early to run for Congress. Loses quickly and realizes that he must be against the war to succeed politically, so he switches sides. Just what does Kerry stand for? Important to know before voting for him. He is a loose cannon. I do have a problem with him. Sounds more like he is for John F. Kerry and nothing else. Bush clearly understands that he is President to SERVE us. Unlike the former Clinton who used interns to "service" him. Clearly this bid of Kerry's is more reminiscent of Clinton then a public servant, which when all is said and done is precisely what the president is.

I hear ya, there is plenty of time for things to come out. I should have addressed my comments above to you too.

From what I have seen so far, Clinton is not worthy of shining Kerry's combat boots.

Thought you'd appreciate this excerpt if you haven't already seen it:

"Kerry became even more of a press celebrity during a highly publicized "anti-war" protest when he threw medals the press reported were his over a barricade and onto the steps of the Capitol. Kerry never mentioned that the medals he so gloriously tossed were not his own. The 1988 issue of Current Biography Yearbook explained: " . . . the ones he had discarded were not his own but had belonged to another veteran who asked him to make the gesture for him. When a 'Washington Post' reporter asked Kerry about the incident, he said: 'They're my medals. I'll do what I want with them. And there shouldn't be any expectations about them.'" Kerry's medals have reappeared, today hanging in his Senate office, now that it is "politically correct" for a U.S. Senator to be portrayed as a Vietnam War hero. Alas, so much for integrity."

"Then he gets out early"

What? What? Surely not, surely he didn't leave military service early! Not to politic! Why is it President Bush gets berated for taking leave from military service to politic for his father and Kerry is not questioned about his early departure? Inquiring minds want to know.
