i find the twists and turns of logic in support of partisan politics sickening. what kerry did after his service isn't relevant to what he did in vietnam. the partisan attack on a decorated veteran questioning his service should have made any decent person vomit.

and where were all the republican mccain defenders in 2000 when he was smeared by the bush campaign in s carolina? he was unquestionably the better qualified candidate then.

how about we start honoring service in fact and not just when it serves our partisan purpose?
