Who are you voting for in November?

Yeah he served his country for a couple months, did what he needed to do to get out (3 purple hearts, two of which were for self-inflicted wounds) and then he came home and burned flags for a couple years while protesting the war, not to mention writing a book about it (Which he has since tried to buy up every copy of.)

What a hero... :rolleyes:

You got something against protesting? Aren't you an American?

Very American. Do I have anything against protesting? Nope. And to be quite honest, I wouldn't even care that he did it if it wasn't for the fact that he's trying to pawn himself off as a 'war hero'. What a fucking joke...

There you go people, Mr. Flip Flop

for the first part all that it says is that Kerry probably thinks that some of the things going on in Iraq is bad

John Kerry: "Iraq is bad"

, but at the same time he didn't approve of the way that Bush handled it.

John Kerry: "Leave Iraq alone"

and for the second part:

John Kerry: "I like Coca Cola"
John Kerry: "I like Pepsi"

Is it against the law to like Coke and Pepsi at the same time?

Now if Kerry said that he was 100% anti abbortion or something, and then turns around and has his wifes baby aborted or something, then you can call him

bwind22, are you still fooled by that video? Have you not been following the news on this thing? Here's my response to your "watch this video thread":

"I suppose anyone who has been following the news knows about the status of this video already knows this. But, I will state what has been brought to light anyway:

1. Nobody on this video was actually with Kerry during the rescue that won him the Purple Heart. They were on boats in the vicinity of Kerry's boat, but not even on Kerry's boat.

2. The only person who has any credibility about what he is saying is the doctor who said: "I nursed the wound that got Kerry the Purple Heart." He's the only one on the video that interacted with Kerry personally. But even this guy was not on the boat.

3. There is controversy as to whether or not the troops were actually under fire when Kerry pulled that guy out of the water. But the fact that another soldier won a Purple Heart for his efforts during the same conflict proves that they had to have been under fire at some time.

4. The guy that Kerry pulled out of the water vouches for his heroism, and stands by him.

5. The soldiers that were on the boat with Kerry at the time are standing by him.

6. This video was put together by veterans who are pissed off that Kerry protested the Vietnam War after he served his time. What the fuck is that all about? Kerry HAD to serve, and he did. When he had done his time, he practiced his freedom of speech and stood up for what he disagreed with! It's a fundamental American right, and the vets are pissed because they didn't like what he had to say. Kerry protested, and he had every right to do so. I can't stand it when people say I'm anti-American for speaking out against the decisions that America makes that I disagree with. In my eyes, speaking your mind is NOT anti-American, if we say that America = freedom. Making someone be quiet and stand up for whatever America decides to do IS anti-American.

Basically, the Republicans are worried that they're going to lose this vote (as they should be), and are using any underhanded tactics they can to smear Kerry. True, this video was not supported by the Bush campaign, but they sure did nothing to say that they do not endorse what it claims."

I also went on to say later that Bush served in the Air Force, but through the help of his father's political strings, he was never sent overseas. Kerry could have gotten the same help, but he did not. He actually went. And for some reason you support Bush more than Kerry on the Vietnam issue.

Anyone But Bush...

and Nader. no Nader.

I don't support either one of them on the 'Nam issue'. It shouldn't even be an 'issue'. I think it's fucking stupid that are spending so much damn time dwelling on what happened 30 some years ago. They both need to shut the fuck up about it and tell us their plans for the future.

I know Bush wasn't in Nam. I also know that John Kerry is not 1/10th of the hero he is trying to portray himself as. I think they both suck, but I'm still voting Bush and I've already posted my reasons.

Well, I can't argue with you there. I agree that the war thing is tiring, and the fact that Kerry is playing it up is quite the turn-off. Shows he has no modesty.

But, I'm NOT voting for Bush ... and I've already posted my reasons.

Looks like we must once again agree to disagree, my nemesis.

Did you read my reasons for not voting for Bush? I attack your claim that "marriage" is a Christian term. Ya bastit! :D

Oh yeah. I forgot to touch on that one... I'm pretty sure (but not 100% because I'm relying on info found on the web.) that word originated from Christianity in the 1300s.

Feel free to do some research on your own to disprove that if you want. I couldn't find much on it. In any event, it was certainly a religious term until we went ahead and mixed church and state and also made it a legally binding contract.

Okay... Unless there's a rebuttal, then now we can agree to disagree...
