People,

Is it me, or are the Republicans taking completely the wrong track in trying to discredit Kerry's war record? I mean, that's just some dumb shit.

And the attacks are just becoming silly as well. This swift boat stuff would make me laugh if it didn't make me so damn mad. First, a group of veterans who were not there claimed that Kerry was lying about his heroic actions in a battle. Kerry said, "hey look, I was at this battle and this dude was about to shoot a bazooka at us from the shore and so I went up on the shore and I killed him. It sucked, but I did it." The veterans said "No, you didn't." Kerry said "Yeah, I did." The veterans said, "Well, we weren't there but we know you're a pussy and you didn't." Then people who were there said "Um, yeah, we were there and he did what he said he did and pretty much saved our asses." So then the people who weren't there said "Well, OK, maybe he did do that, but we heard that the VC firing the missile launcher was only 16." Then the people who were there said "well, yeah, he looked pretty young, but we were in a battle so we didn't card him." So then the naysayers said "see! we told you! Kerry is a terrible child-killer" Dag.

That's some dumb dumb dumb shit. I'm sorry folks, but I don't care if it's the Gerber baby, in a war if someone's about to kill you you kill them first. This is a non-issue. What is an issue is how slimy these people who are attacking Kerry are. I mean, honestly, how do you sleep if your job is to be a lying Karl Rove-bot, trading all your integrity to protect the worst president in U.S. history?

I just hope this all comes back to bite Bush in the ass. I mean, if I were someone who spent my twenties living in a swinging singles complex with my nose full of coke, not only having dodged actual military service but also doing my damnedest to dodge my assignment to the Texas Air National Guard - well, I might leave the armed forces and war out of the campaign. Just a thought.
