Al, The common soldier is little more than a high school kid with a gun, waiting for a paycheck every two weeks. Not exactly political acuity there if you know what I mean. Probably no less than the welfare recipients out there who have no choice but to vote for the politicians who promise that their gravy trains will continue to run. Actually, I'll take the opinion of those who are bravely risking their lives to protect America over government-funded deadbeats. it seems to me that one ought to bag a rattle snake instead of kicking it. That would be nice. All we need to do is just wait for these rattlesnakes to crawl out from underneath their rocks. Or turn over each rock one by one. Or just pave over the whole place and turn it into a parking lot or shopping mall. Tenchusatsu

Let's compare kerry to the alternative...george w bush...I must be crazy, but all i see is trouble and hopelessness and no end in sight, all thanks to gw and his foreign policies (and lack thereof) post 9/11. Assuming of course I am willing to overlook his fiscal drunkenness at home. I mean, who cares about that when we are heading straight for a clash of civilizations that is likely to last my lifetime and that of my kids? So, yes, i blame bush and the men and women with which he has chosen to surround himself. And that is why I dislike him. Not because he is flat on TV or he can't speak very well or he is a christian who wears his religion on his sleeve in a nation where that and politics ought to be separate matters. Those observable attributes seem to betray more important shortcomings, but they are not the final issue. To say so as you so often do is an insulting trivialization and the projection of a stupid man, and you don't otherwise seem stupid to me...so quit posts that make you seem so. Well said. ted
