A good example to me is Kerry. He came out and said at the convention that he was a decorated war hero and he stood on that platform. When attacked (and mostly with lies) he should have at the debate said to W's face that yes, some of Kerry's medals were for slight injuries, etc. - but at least he volunteered and went and people knew where he was - rather than being a pu$$y like W who essentially was MIA for most of the war and while thousands of people like Kerry who went were dying and being iunjured. W, even if he was not MIA, was working on a political campaign because he was a rich Mama's boy. Then, I wqould have said, W, none of the people in around you went to any war a la Cheney who said he had better things to do. W would have no answer to that and Kerry would have shut him down right there and then. Then, Kerry should have said the same thing to Hannity, BO, RL, etc. and when those fools tried to spin it, I would have told them to shut the fukc up and put them right back on at least I went there.
Sadly, Kerry had no such backbone.

Exactly! I wonder what he thought they may have had on him to shut him up. Or was it just fear of losing? If it was just fear of losing that is pathetic. Because if you fear losing that will become a self-fulfilling prophecy! You've gotta campaign as though you're gonna win. Dammit.
More specifically, I'll be in Tiujuana.
