All Kerry did in the war was film himself.  You have
no proof that he earn even one of his medals.  There
are more people saying he was a joke in the war than
saying he did anything heroic.  

Kerry has voted against everything and every weapon
system that protect this country.  Voted against
funding the CIA.  There is apsolutly no common sence
that were evern suggust that he has the brains
necessary to run this country.  Again, he has voted
against everything that give liberal democrates the
freedom to be stupid, be on welfare and lazy.  YOu
have the freedom to be that way thanks to our
military.  Luckly, there our smarter people in
Congress that did not side with Kerry which allows us
to fund our military so that we can remain the sole
Superpower.  Without this, democrats would lose
welfare.
