Bushies were boasting today about having won the election. The election's not for another eight and a half weeks, dummy. No one is boasting about anything. We're too busy laughing that Kerry's only response to Cheney's suggestion that he is too indecisive to lead our nation was to attack Cheney for his Vietnam deferments. He also hit back at Vice President Dick Cheney, who said in a Wednesday speech that the Massachusetts senator is unqualified to be commander in chief because his record as a lawmaker shows him to be indecisive. Kerry, a decorated Vietnam war veteran, contrasted his own combat experience with Cheney's record of draft deferments during the war. ...''For the past week, they attacked my patriotism and my fitness to serve as commander in chief. Well, here's my answer. I'm not going to have my commitment to defend this country questioned by those who refused to serve when they could have and by those who have misled the nation into Iraq.'' Kerry said he would ''leave it up to the voters whether five deferments makes someone more qualified to defend this nation than two tours of duty.'' ajc.com I mean, seriously, can he respond to ANY challenge without saying "I'm a Vietnam war hero and he's not!"? Is he that ashamed of his post-Vietnam record that he won't even try to defend it? What a dope! BTW, Cliffali, your "headline stealing" Kerry response was page C1 news in the unabashedly partisan (Democrat) AJC, overshadowed there by an article, with two large color photos on the GOP's growing appeal to women voters. One photo showed a delegate holding a sign that said "W Stands for Women". Yeah, powerful response from Kerry. ROTFL!
