Ted, there's a difference between changing one's ways, and flip-flopping. Kerry is trying to have it both ways. At least Bush renounces his partying past. Tenchusatsu

re: At least his flipflopping was over serious issues like war.........Bush's flipflopping was over which would be his drug of choice........alcohol or cocaine. Forget it Ted. The only reason he insults Kerry is because he's a Democrat. If he was a Republican Kerry would be a great guy.

Not that I want to get into defending Kerry, but the ribbons he tossed had been given to him by a wounded vet who couldn't make the event. He ASKED Kerry to toss them. As Kerry has expalined, several times. I'm sure Kerry lobbied to get his decorations, he was planning on going into politics, and knew they would be useful. Kerry wasn't a Senator or anyone with special clout at that time. His decorations weren't any more or less deserved than ANY soldiers medals. My father got a Purple Heart in WW II for a tiny piece of sharpnel in his ass. He didn't even ask for it. The military LOVES to give out decorations for any reason. It "builds morale". The thing is, Kerry served, Bush hid. And supposedly Bush SUPPORTED that war, as long as he was 10,000 miles away from it.

Bob Dole also got a Purple Heart for a bandaid on his arm. To go with his other more serious wound. Kerry still has shrapnel in his leg. Cleland got three limbs blown off. The rightwing smeared Cleland for faking his injuries too. They smear every war hero leader who speaks the truth about Iraq or tries to compete with them politically. yet not a single major rightwing leader (since Dole retired) has ever served in combat.
