Ha! Wait till you see me fish. You won't be able to wash the skunk off for weeks

I have read his congressional testimony and he NEVER said that he participated, unless I missed something. If he did he should have been tried for war crimes plain and simple.

In the 1971 litany he was reporting what others had told him, but in the Cavet debate with O'Niel (if I remember correctly) he admitted to using approved tactics that He later found out were aginst International Law. Of course his detractors are calling him a war criminal over this. That's the problem when you send an intellectual to battle, too much honesty

His voting record is there for all the world to see so take a look at it you will be surprised at what you find out about him.

What's suprising is how much the Bush Admin has completely taken out of context and how the media is just waking up to this. The characterizations that Kerry's the most liberal member of the Senate and that He's been soft on defense spending are both simply not true. I haven't seen these many facts misrepresented since Powell was in front of the United Nations

Also the midnight speech IMHO was petty, again IMHO. He did lie, stretch the truth what ever you want to call it when he said that the VP said he was unfit, the VP's speech is also on public record and he said no such thing.

While it's true Cheney never used the word "unfit", it's also true that Bush never used the word"urgent threat" to describe Iraq, but we both know what they meant Read the transcript again, Cheney made it very clear that Kerry wasn't fit to be President. I won't bother posting specifics, although I would add that Cheney's line about Kerry that he "began his political career by saying he would like to see our troops deployed "only at the directive of the United Nations." Is completely true.

Kerry said it in an 1971 interview with a high school newspaper

Personally I think this campaign has been a mud fest from both sides, some is true and needed to be brought to the public's attn and some is not.

I'd agree for the most part, although if you look at the conventions and official campaign commercials...there is clearly much more negativity from the GOP. The Dems did a little bashing but none of it was in primetime.
