Reply #65: Um, hello...he's mentioned it a gazillion times already

Everyone already knows Kerry was in Vietnam, just like loads of other people in the country. My uncle has more medals than Kerry, was wounded more times and more seriously and he was in Korea too. But you know what...that doesn't give him a free ride wherever he wants to go in life. I don't know a single person who cares about a politician's military record. They care about their political record. On top of that, being in Vietnam might even turn some people off. Why? Because we ALL know at least one veteran of that war who isn't so mentally stable. Add to that the fact that Kerry can't quite figure out what side of the war fence he stands on and that record doesn't amount to a hill of beans in the grand scheme of things. Trying to make a big fuss over this is JUST as pathetic as hearing Lieberman repeat how "he and Al Gore already beat Bush" or Edwards remind us all about his poor factory working poppa and Gephardt tell another story about his Teamster father.

No one cares about any of it. If a politician is going to use quantifiers they should use their record to do so.

Had to edit this a bit. They should use their POLITICAL records, and what they've done in their political career...not what they did before.
