I agree, it is pathetic. After all the assassination of GW's character regarding his honorable service in the national guard, the same folks defend the fellow who refuses to make his records public and admits to committing atrocities.....strange world.

How the tone changes when discussing one's own candidate's record. We are just supposed to accept whatever the dems say as fact regardless of evidence indicating otherwise. Personally, I would not have made issue with either candidate's military service if the Kerry campaign had not lied outright about GW's service and then had those lies repeated by folks who did not verify the information.

Oddly enough, in the Vietnam era, the direction that GW chose (ANG Pilot) was much more likely to see action and to be killed than the route Kerry chose. It just didn't work out that way.

Even by Kerry's own accounts, most of the people he shot were running and not shooting back.
