This is the kind of character people they are represented by.
Good luck with that smear campaign. Especially with McCain vocally denouncing their statements, and tactics.

Personally I couldn't care less about the whole "issue". I don't like either side's position on this.
Kerry was in Vietnam he was awarded some medals. That's splendid.
The complete bullshit involved in this campaign underscores for me why current political tactics and the effort voters put in to understand reality are pathetic.
On the specific issue of military service the hypocrisy amazes me.
There are claims that Kerry didn't earn these medals. The response from the Kerry campaign is basically that they went through the necessary military channels to be approved so they shouldn't even be in dispute. Fine. I agree.
Now, on to the claims against Bush and his attendance at guard drills. His campaign claims that everything went through the proper channels, they were approved otherwise the military wouldn't have signed off on his completion of duty. Fine. I agree.
However, each side refuses to stipulate that the military approval(s) of the other were proper.
Now, on to this Swift boat group. They are a group of people with something to say and they are saying it. They are taking donations from people who support their message. Somehow the other side thinks it's wrong that they're doing this because they are supposedly politically motivated or whatever. Fine, while I think they have the right to say what they want, I feel this group is subverting campaign finance reform laws by taking unlimited contributions and working against Kerry. But so are the 527 groups being used by the Dems.
All the BS associated with these issues is fully partisan manure. Until people recognize it and focus on real issues we will only get more of the same.
