: : More Sludge from Drudge..The king of sensationalism in journalism.
: : Let's break this down real simple..
: : Kerry went to Viet Nam? Yes
: : Bush went to Viet Nam? No
: : Cheney went to Viet Nam? No
: :
: : We all know the controversy surrounding Bush's military records. Forget all that...could he have went to Viet Nam if he wanted to go? YES.
: : Dick Cheney had three deferments blocking him from being enlisted in the military, let alone go to Viet Nam to combat.
: : Kerry could have lied, cheated, went AWOL, etc. HE STILL WENT TO VIET NAM.
: That is by far the dumbest statement I've ever heard. Kerry went to Vietnam so he's getting my vote. Even though he lied and caused one of his own injuries which he was awarded a Purple Heart for.... hell as long as he was there!!
Nobody is saying that you have to vote for Kerry. BUT, if you are going to criticize Kerry, then you must look at the military records of Gee-Dubbya and the several deferments for Big Dick Cheney. Nobody is asking or telling you to vote for Kerry.
And you are right on one aspect, he was there!!! That is something Gee-Dubbya and Cheney cannot say.
You see how the Bushie supporters love to criticize and judge others, but when you ask them to do the same to any of the Bushies, then everything becomes "dumb." So do tell me, why didn't Gee-Dubbya or Cheney go to Viet Nam? The Kerry service-related stories are all based on opinion. I watched a Bush-supporter favorite in Bill O'Reilly last night, and he even mentioned that just as many Kerry's former service members who criticize him, there are just as many that support him. Who do you believe? That is up for the individual depending on whose story you believe. The doctor was found last night and confirmed the injuries. So now what? But to criticize a veteran and giving a free walk to the likes of Wolfowitz, Cheney and the grand-master hypocrite Gee-Dubbya....you lose all credibility.
You my friend are the one who looks ridiculous.
