"Kerry who voted against every major weapons system now defending us in the war on terror is a hero. " No true. Check it on snopes snopes.com Now interestingly enough, it was Cheney who expended the most effort to kill those weapons programs... Thanks for playing!

<font color=brown> How do you think this FLA man will vote in November? He lost his son in Iraq and probably was not rich enough to benefit from Bush's tax cuts. And yet you applaud Mr. Bush's incompetency and indifference. Four thousand dead or maimed Americans in Iraq and counting. You should be ashamed!<font color=black> ******************************************************* Florida man burns Marine van after being told son died in Iraq combat** By John Pain, Associated Press, 8/25/2004 18:13 HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (AP) A distraught father who had just been told his Marine son was killed in combat in Iraq set himself on fire in a Marine Corps van and suffered severe burns Wednesday, police said. Three U.S. Marines went to a house in Hollywood and told the parents of a 20-year-old Marine that their son died had Tuesday in Najaf, police said. The father, Carlos Arredondo, 44, then walked into the open garage, picked up a can of gasoline, a propane tank and a lighting device, police Capt. Tony Rode said. He smashed the van's window with the propane tank and doused the van with gasoline before setting it ablaze. ''The father was in disbelief, same as any of us would be after hearing this kind of news,'' Rode said. ''But then the father basically loses it. You can only imagine what this father was going through. He snapped to say the least.'' boston.com
