So the only people who are war heroes are people who were POWs in the Hanoi Hilton? Jesus H Balls those are some high standards.
Of course, me being a giant vagina who would never join the military, I would say just signing up makes you a hero of sorts.
And whoever said they're voting for McCain because the other two are "too phony" haven't been paying attention to McCain in the last couple years or so. I used to be on the "Straight Talk Express" bandwagon myself, but lately he's been just as much a pandering douchebag as anyone else. All three candidates are full of shit, because apparently you have to be to run for president. You just have to choose between degrees and/or types of bullshit. Whatever bullshit works for you.
Never said that. I am in the military. John Kerry is far from a "hero". I appriciate his service but a hero he is not.
I cannot for the life of me see the "change" or "hope" in Obama or Clinton....if you have been paying attention lately it's all the same 'ol crap with those two too....politics as usual. What has either of them done that is different than anyone else? All Obama does is talk about change and hope....but there is nothing there that tells me how he's going to get there.
Like a word misplaced...nothing said...what a waste
lol..Republicans think he's a closet Dem and Dems thinks he's W 2.
Yet Obama is friends with an American Hating Racist, a mob criminal, a terrorist, and one more controversial pal to be named soon. Yeah..he's got a prayer...

Those swift boat adds were total disgrace to anyone who has ever served.To take a shot at a fellow serviceman like that is sheer partisanship.Maybe a bunch did not agree with Kerry's stance after nam, newsflash Nam did not solve a thing.Many died honorably, it just made people weary of the military
Why did they give Kerry get medals if he was just your run of the mill serviceman?

My opinion on medals is this.....there is only one that is worth anything, and that one you will only be honored with if your dead.
I'm not discrediting decorated military personel, but all the medals I have don't mean a lot to me. But some people need them to feel special or feel like they are doing a good job.

I hear you on that.Personal story, I was at a wedding a few weeks back, and met a gentleman who came back from Iraq with a huge scar on his neck.He was looking for snipers and one of them shot him.The bullet went from one side of his neck through the other.For him to be alive, and being so young to sacrifice his body for this country really had an affect on me.He is someone most will never hear about because the stories out of that place are just remarkable.I dont place Kerry anywhere near him cause he is a US Senator.So yeah medals aren't the end all of heroic behavior, but I dont think just anyone gets them.
why does change mean it has to be a change with race? im so tired of hearing "change" and "hope" but where is the substance?
Have you been following the campaign? McCain looks creepy when he smiles and Hillary looks creepy when she has her eyes open. (That, BTW, has nothing to do with gender.) You can see it in Obama's eyes that he wants to help.
i believe a part of who you are is reflected in who you surround yourself with, it shows part of your character and if Obama is anywhere near the people he associated himself with then i want no part of it
I agree with this normally, but you are talking about the world of politics. It only becomes a problem when and if he starts listening to those douchebags.
...rather than just picking Obama to show how far we have come with race...keep in mind he is as much white as he is black
Sounds kinda Republicanese to me. Have you lived his life? Do you know what he has been through? I'm guessing that the answer is no so why would you make a statement like that?

A monkey with a tambourine would be better than Bush.
I disagree. I believe they are one in the same.

Is this supposed to be coherent speech? lol

Ulysses S. Grant, Franklin Pierce, and Zachary Taylor were war heroes too.....as well as three of the worst presidents in the nation's history.
