13. This how Kerry got beat last election
Trying to make Bushes guard service an issue is what got Kerry beat the last election. It is a dead horse and the sooner we get off of it the better.

With the quality candidate we had in Kerry and the issues that he was so qualified to deal with, we wasted it trying to talk about Viet Nam and Bushes guard service instead of the issues that really mattered.

I think Rove and the Republicans suckered us in on this matter knowing that it was a dead end street. We did just what they wanted us to do and it worked for them.

IT FLAT PISSES ME OFF JUST TO THINK OF IT.

Kerry was by far the best candidate on the issues and really knew how to project them in a very compelling way. BUT!!!!he got derailed on something that did not matter one iota to the voting public
