Do you feel Kerry is not an educated man?

Do you feel Kerry did not deserve a metal because he came home and made a stand to better his country?

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.

The man walks around with shrapnel in him. To say he was "gaming the system" seems inappropriate, at least to me.

I think this is it.
I have to wonder what this guys motivation is. Does he need it for his memoirs? his resume? His re-election?
I'm not too worried.
We're not changing term limits.

That's good. I got a belly laugh out of that.

It is really funny to see that the same arguments regarding the term of office of the president are still floating about as were expressed during the debates over the Constitution. Plus que ca change, plus que ne change pas.

"The more things change, the more they stay the same". Sorry but I was born in Quebec and being bilingual is pretty much the norm.
