Seems to me he did the most patriotic thing a man could do. He heroically served his country and came home to change what was wrong with it. How do you find fault?
If you chose not to vote for him based on his platform, fine.
If you chose not to vote for him based on him as a principled man I do not understand.

Well, he had a college degree, so I guess he was educated.
As far as three Purple Hearts without missing a day's work. Either he was one tough sonofabitch or he was gaming the system. It appears to me that he was gaming the system.
He did serve, and deserves the up most respect for that. And I'm talking about the military, not congress.
I did vote against him because of his platform. Perhaps he has principals, perhaps not. I WOULD NOT go as far as to call him a statesman.
Now to my gut feelings. He is a stuffed shirt who isn't even as intelligent as Shrub. A JFK wannabe. And watching him running around on the campaign trail in that fukkin yeller barn coat, asking the yokels, "Can I get me one of them huntin' licenses here?" was enough to make me vomit.
Of course, I can say the same thing about 99% of the politicians on the national stage.
But I did like his wife. I don't she drew a sober breath during the entire campaign. And if I were in her shoes, I wouldn't have either.
Now there is another Kerry out there, Bob Kerry. While I may not agree with him on everything, I have the up most respect for him, and I do believe that he is a statesman.
