I told you that I believe O'Neill and thew swiftboaters had valid points but, just like C-BS with their phony documents, they were overzealous in trying to prove their point. Did their tactics harm their credibility? Perhaps. I know I started wondering about them but I had made up my mind long before they fired their first salvo against Kerry so not much would have changed my mind at that point.
As I said, if anyone else had run on the Democratic ticket, I'd have abandoned the party I was registered with and voted Democrat. Not everyone likes the same people and I don't see anything wrong with that.
No, I am not a vietnam vet but I am married to one, (actually I was married to two of them but the first one passed away) I have two brothers who are, a dead cousin who was and two live cousins, plus countless classmates who are. Not one of them supported John Kerry and they are pretty much all democrats and independents. I guess none of their opinions are of any value. Is that what you are saying?
As for whether or not Bush lied about Iraq, I don't believe he did. If he did, is that going to change anything? Will it undo the war or the casualties that resulted? Nor do I care if he was AWOL or not during VietNam. How many rich kids went to college to avoid the draft? Will it change anything now if Bush was AWOL or those rich kids had been drafted? There are plenty of other things that bug me a lot more about Bush and they all revolve around the disservice he has done to this nation as it's President.
For example, I read recently that he said that the Constitution was nothing but a "***damned piece of paper!" Now that disturbs me! Why didn't the media pick that up? I'm trying to find out. If it was true, don't you think they would have been all over it? Still, I think that is the way he feels even if he didn't come right out and say it.
Yes, I realize that Kerry was the democratic candidate for President in 2004. I didn't use the word "identical" with regard to their campaign views about the war in Iraq, did I? Neither of them had any intention of getting out of the war at that time. Kerry went through a whole production telling people about his big "plan" and where to find it on the web but the page he said to visit didn't even exist as near as I could determine.
As for Kerry, apparently, there are Democrats who didn't like him either. Or at least they didn't like him well enough to get up off their lazy behinds and go out and vote for him. So why am I wrong to say I don't like him?
In any event, 2004 is history. Where is this country going tomorrow? That is what I'm here to find out.
If you think the Republican party has their act together enough to win the next Presidential election, you need to go visit their sites and see all the reasons why I don't believe they can. Then you will know why I came here looking for answers about who the next president will be and what they think.
