<<They may not like Bush much but they will still vote for him.>> Factions that vote for democrats also place metal objects in trees that can kill anyone that tries to cut down that tree. These factions tend to vote liberal so does that make Kerry a murderer? No! It's faulty logic. Abortion rights people kill babies....does that make kerry a baby killer? I could go on and on but whats the benefit? You make yourself look stupid without my help

You are now speaking on behalf of the KKK voters? Letter to the Editor, Name this mystery politician: Through the direct intervention of his powerful politically-connected father, a young Ivy League drop-out and future presidential candidate lands a rare enlistment opportunity which keeps him far from the action while less fortunate Americans are fighting for their lives. That’s right, this was our own senior Democratic Senator, Teddy Kennedy. In 1951, during the Korean War, he was thrown out of Harvard for cheating by proxy on a final exam. He enlisted in the U.S. Army. However, Ted was the son of a former ambassador and the brother of U.S. Representative, soon-to-be U.S. Senator, John F. Kennedy. Because of his family’s political influence, Ted had his four-year term reduced to two-years, followed by a cushy assignment. This wartime deal was on a par with George Bush’s wartime enlistment in the National Guard. While hostilities raged in Korea Ted stood M.P. duty at NATO’S supreme headquarters (S.H.A.F.E.) in peacetime Europe. During this time, Ted’s main pleasure was traveling while on furlough, especially to Switzerland, were he won a bobsledding championship for novices. I have never found any public reference as to the number of months Teddy actually served while on active duty. However, according to James Burns’ book, Edward Kennedy and the Camelot Legacy, “(Kennedy) …wrote his old headmaster at Milton that these had been sixteen “of the most worthwhile months of my life,” but an experience he would never want to repeat.” Democrats such as Terry McAuliffe called Bush A.W.O.L., Michael Moore called Bush a deserter, and State Representative Robert Spellane told a group of schoolchildren its not patriotism to land on an aircraft carrier dressed in a flight suit. They are quite willing to criticize our commander-in-chief while our enemies look on. Therefore, I ask the above named Democrats, non-veterans all, to enlighten the voters as to the value of Ted Kennedy’s military service. Paul
