Missing the Point & Catching a Trend.

There's been WAY too much controversy over whether or not John Kerry threw away his medals, his ribbons, or both on a day back in 1971. this non-controversy fanned by the right has one purpose. it says "PLEASE LOOK ANYWHERE ELSE BUT BUSH'S OWN SERVICE RECORD". I'm firmly of the opinion that a soldier that fought for his country with such valor that he was awarded an accomodation...well that soldier is well within his rights to do what he will with those medals. The implication is that Kerry was somehow unpatriotic by questioning his contry's actions in Vietnam.

The fact that Bush has his surrogates trashing a vet shouldn't suprise anyone. Since 1999, Bush has repeatedly faced Vietnam vets with questions about their patriotism and war related matters. McCain, Gore, and Kerry had vastly different service records, yet all were in-country. All avoided the Bush string pulling to avoid risk. Let us not forget that this is the very period where our president was an (admitted) drunk. the fact that the GOP would question what Kerry did with his medals for VALOR while the president was spending his time getting drunk and using cocaine shows the complete disregard for any 'moral standard' they profess to bear.

The President wants a free pass.
He wants you to forget about his insider trading.
He wants you to forget about him being an alcoholic.
He wants you to never ask if he used cocaine.
He wants you to forget he's spent 40% of the his term on vacation.
He wants you to forget we have the worst debt and deficit in the history of our nation.
He just wants you to wonder what Kerry did with his medals.

Bush. GOP. I'll tell you all what he did for those medals...he earned them. that's more than the President could say.
