Does anyone else here think that Kerry's lie, miststatement, or whatever the hell you want to call it, is really unimportant in the whole scope of things? And that there are much bigger issue's right now than the fact that he said all when he forgot/lied that he met all of the SC when he missed 4(?) out of at least 15 members? Both candidates lie or mislead people to make themselves look better... thats how this stuff works. Hell... just watch any comercials for either candidate, most of them tell only one side of a story.
For instance, the only one that comes to mind at the moment is the one that accuses Kerry of Voting against giving our troops better armor. (this is the one i see the most) But what they dont tell you is that the money that was going towards new armor for troops was only 1/3 of 1% of the $87 Billion that was being voted for (about 300 million). And that over 40,000 troops were sent without the best-grade body armor in the first place. In addition, they also make it look like Kerry voted "No" on seperate points, but there was only ONE vote.
Quote:
Bush: I’m George W. Bush and I approve this message.
Announcer: Few votes in Congress are as important as funding our troops at war. Though John Kerry voted in October of 2002 for military action in Iraq , he later voted against funding our soldiers.
Senate Clerk: Mr. Kerry:
Announcer: No.
Announcer: Body armor for troops in combat.
Senate Clerk: Mr. Kerry:
Announcer: No.
Announcer: Higher combat pay.
Senate Clerk: Mr. Kerry:
Announcer: No.
Announcer: And, better health care for reservists and their families…
Senate Clerk: Mr. Kerry:
Announcer: No.
Announcer: Wrong on defense.

I Have no doubt there are similar instances where Kerry does that same kind of thing, I just havn't seen any. The point being that there ARE more important issues.
