John Kerry - war hero, multiple purple hearts etc, and the crew working hardest for him comprised of the men who served under him in Vietnam, many of whom are Republicans.
versus
George Bush - passing time in the "Champaign" division of the Texas Air National Guard flying obsolete planes no longer in use in Vietnam, and apparently awol from duty in Alabama for roughly a year or more.
I don't know, that's going to be tough for Bush and Rove to overcome. If Kerry wasn't such a liberal weenie I'd be tempted to vote for him. But Bush has cured me of any illusions of voting for him, the man signs spending bills like a liberal weenie. No, even worse! My God he is pathetic, after allowing spending to go through the roof, he gives a state of the union speech urging Congress to curb spending and then announces how he will use his veto pen, not to curb spending (which he hasn't done once yet to my knowledge), but to prevent any spending reductions in his prescription drug giveaway. Great! The veto pen will be used to prevent any semblance of fiscal responsibility...
And who does Bush have shilling for him? Rush "my anal cyst hurts" Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly, both "chickenhawks". Guys who just love wars as long as they aren't fighting them... And then there's Sean Hannity, Newt Gingrich's good friend at Fox News who, while Clinton was cheating on Hillary, was cheating on his wife and divorcing her while she was in the hospital with cancer. Sean likes reminding everyone almost daily about "Slick Willie" and his sexual exploits but never mentions Newt's behavior (or Bob Livingston's, another adulterer and Fox News contributor).
God these 2 parties can make a bottle of Pepto Bismol upchuck it's contents.

) but I just don't see this as being a salient point in the election. This election is more a referendum on the first presidency, not on GWB pre white house. At most Kerry can effectively use his war hero status to counter the GWB WoT record, etc. At most his past is a response to what GWB has done. The air national guard bit won't win or lose a single vote.
If I vote for either the Dems or Repubs I'm giving my tacit approval to the future incarceration of millions of people for drug use and I can't do that.
