NHJ: I personally don't understand how the electoral college works at all...But, for a simplified look at it, here's How Stuff Works...

If that's all you have to say about them, you can't be taken seriously anymore.


No, you have to in fact be an imbecile to believe what those people say...Yeah, one of them was his commanding officer, quite high up, however, so I doubt he actually served with him, and came out a couple days ago saying he didn't know what he was doing when he signed that petition, that he was making a big mistake, and that he's going to be in big trouble now...And then later that same day, like 6 hours later, he said, No, I was right all along, I should have signed this petition and I fully support Swift Boat Veterans Against Kerry.

Can you say large soft money donations from the Republican party? I know I can.

And people making such a big deal about whether or not he actually earned his purple hearts... If you get an open wound, you get a purple heart. It's not so much an award for taking home an injury as it is an award for facing combat and being injured in the process. Blood = Purple heart. There should be no discussion of whether he actually earned it, especially since there was shrapnel in the wound for the one people seem most fixated on.

Here's what I believe is the official description of the Purple heart:

Awarded for wounds or death as result of an act of any opposing armed force, as a result of an international terrorist attack or as a result of military operaitons while serving as part of a peacekeeping force.

It's also our first medal, established in 1782.

The Bronze Star,

For heroic or meritorious achievement of service, not involving aerial flight in connection with operations against an opposing armed force.

A medal that shows particular valor or meritorious service.

Ah, yes, the Silver Star:

For distinguished gallantry in action against an enemy of the United States or while serving with friendly forces against an opposing enemy force.

Third highest combat medal awarded by the U.S. Armed Force designed soley for heroism in combat. Winning this one is definitely a big deal.

And to top that all of, numerous commendations from all of his commanders, except perhaps Mr. I-like-to-flip-flop-after-taking-large-soft-money-donations-from-the-Republican-party.

Trying to attack his war record is a retarded idea. Except it just keeps going and going and going. It's not like Kerry is championing his exemplary record at every speech he makes, nay, he's talking about how he plans to fix America. But the media keeps coming out and saying that "No one knows how John Kerry is." Even though a lot of people do, they eat up fake opinions with a spoon. If you listened, you would know John Kerry's agenda.


"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)

"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)
