I don't get how people can think that Kerry's 4 months in country as a junior lt. qualifies him for anything.

I'm not taking away from the fact that he served;
it's just the idea that what he did for a period of
time that amounts to a summer job 35 years ago
has any relevance to his qualifications today.

I'd rather look at his lackluster Senate record
and wonder why he did virtually nothing worthy
of particular note in over 20 years.

In his acceptance speech, Kerry himself could not
come up with any real achievements since elected,
so he was forced to tout his military service---a theme
carried on throughout the convention.

This from a man who detracted from Dole's service and said that military service and Vietnam should
not even be mentioned as relevant during the Clinton years.

Simply put, he touts his military service because he really has nothing else to say for himself.

The Democrats could have put up anybody else
to espouse the same old same old ideas Kerry
outlined at the convention.
