here is the sum up by Dean on Kerryboy on integrity: Dean Vows to Stay In Race Even If He Is Winless Tuesday In the NBC interview, Dean tried to make light of his circumstances, quipping, "How the mighty have fallen." More seriously, he acknowledged that he regrets his decision to pour many millions of dollars into Iowa and New Hampshire in a failed bid to rack up early victories and create unstoppable momentum. "We took a gamble, and it didn't pay off." His gamble now is to take aim even more sharply at Kerry. He accused the Massachusetts senator of being a weak and equivocating figure in his votes supporting the Iraq war and the No Child Left Behind education bill, and of being beholden to Washington influence-peddlers. "Not only has he taken more special interest money than any other candidate in the United States Senate in the last 15 years," Dean told reporters on his way to Detroit from Milwaukee, "we now find he took special interest money from Johnny Chung." Chung was one of the key figures to emerge in the fundraising scandals that plagued President Bill Clinton after his 1996 reelection. Chung eventually pleaded guilty to fundraising violations that included illegal contributions to Kerry's 1996 reelection effort. An article in the current Newsweek returns to the Chung controversy, which has dogged Kerry intermittently for years, by disclosing that he helped a Chung associate, Liu Chaoying, get a meeting with securities regulators. Liu was later disclosed to be a lieutenant colonel in China's People's Liberation Army.

Selectric, what did Bush have as his accomplishment when he lost the Presidency in 2000. People did not vote for him then, Why should they vote for him now. You talk about his killing a man who was tending to his buffalo. How could you vote for Bush who ordered the murdered of innocent Iraqis by ordering the US military into Iraq. Aha, so killing of civilians is a collateral of war, right? When you are in hostile territory during war everything is fair. But then let us look at what he did to save General Rasmussen (now a registered Republican). he saved the General's life at great risk to his life. So if you had to choose between someone who joined the Guards to escape serving Viet Nam and one who not only fought in Viet Nam but saved American lives at the risk of his own personal life, why would you not vote for him? Is that patriotism or what?

Kerry killed a guy who has a minirocket launcher in Vietnam. Not a water buffalo tender.

Kerry killed a man was who aiming an RPG at his Swift Boat. Kerry leapt off the boat and chased him into the bush where he killed him. The guy's RPG misfired, otherwise Kerry and the others would be dead. It took enormous courage to go into that bush alone without support. This was just one of many incidents where Kerry's bravery was proven. For this he won a Silver Star. For pulling a Green Beret out of the river under heavy fire he earned a Bronze Star. Just so you know, the extreme right-wing "vets" who attack Kery on their websites are extreme liars and smear tacticians. Some of them never served in the military. Those who did wish we were still fighting in Nam.
