I am completely amazed that this election has spent more time on these too men's Vietnam era service to the country.
#1 It has come up when GW ran for Governor.
#2 It came up when he ran for President.
Please note, that he won both elections. In other words, he was elected Governor of one of the largest states and President of the country and this issue did not sink his candidacy.
The fact that Kerry's campaign continues to take the bait and respond to these allegations and then attack Bush's service amazes me. It is a failed tactic. Bush defeated McCain a solid Veteran, and the Rove Machine defeated Max Cleland another solid Vet. Yet the Democratic pary continues to NOT realize that this is EXACTLY the issue the republicans wanted. It is a mistake and their guy is going to lose if he continues to do battle over this issue.
the American public is NOT going to unseat a sitting president during a time of war in a cmapaign filled with mudslinging. Look at the history of this country. It does not happen.
A campaign of issues would help. I am amazed that I have not ONCE heard the topic of the Supreme Court come up. Not a single time!
Education? Where is it? Where is this issue on the radar.
Where is the talk about Iran, S. Korea.....
Or
Better yet.....why aren't the democrats attacking about the war. I am sorry. I have tried to have an open mind. On my children I wanted options and choices for a vote. I have heard Kerry three times since I "retired" from posting. He HAS NOT clearly defined himself on this issue. Saying I cannot make it any clearer does not make it so. On one show he said going in was the right thing to do. On Imus he said it was the wrong thing to do. He is trying to defend his vote, which was illogical based on the fact he did not support the first gulf war.
John here is what you do.
#1 I should never have authorized the use of force because I did not realize the President was going to act without the UN's full support.
#2 The president did not make a coalition that would share the burden of rebuilding Iraq.
#3 Your sons and daughters are dying because of this blunder.
#4 We CANNOT go back in time and fix this, but we can move forward by allowing other countries to come in a share equally in the burden of rebuiling. Instead, the president has chosen to go it alone by giving a majority of the contracts to American countries.
#5 You cannot say it enough. Bring up Mission Accompllished and the fact that Americans have been dying for NO reason! None, because the second we did not have WMD, we should have begun leaving. The US army is NOT a social charity. The army is designed to break, kill, destroy. It is not a humanitarian organization. If it were, we would not win any wars. If the Mission is accomplished why are our young men coming home limbless or even lifeless. It is because we are fronting more than 90% of this coalitions operations due to the FAILED policies of this commander in chief.
Mission accomplished John Say it again and again!!!!! There have been more dead American soldiers since your convention than died in the entire war! Say it John!!!!!! 1,000 dead soldiers,,,at least the first 150 died for a cause. Say that you support the search for WMD. But we are not doing than since the MISSION WAS ACCOMPLISHED. We are playing target practice.
#6 Our own intelligence says there IS GOING to be a Civil War. Get the troops out now. There is NOTHING the Unitesd States can do to prevent a civil war here other than install another Despot. These people have hated each other for thousands of years.
John, there is one war I and a majority of the world care about, it is the current one.
