How they served does matter - but not in an election.
The swift boat ads were totalbecause Bush was clearly behind them, and the only people who deny it are the neocons here at the RU. When one candidate's team attacks another when they've never been to a warzone themselves - it's
), but he actually went over there which is more than Bush ever did.
Same here, Clark's a Democrat who's obviously going to vote for Obama (unless he writes-in for Shrillary). McCain served in the military. McCain's been a part of foriegn-policy decisions in Congress. And Obama hasn't done jackshiat.
Clark's comments are unfair, just as the Swift Boat ads were.
Here comes another election being run on what happened in the 1960s.
Tell me, oh wise one, what's questioning McCain or Kerry's military service going to do to lower gas prices? What's questioning McCain or Kerry's military serivice going to do to fix this economy. I'd rather hear about the candidates on drilling for oil, finding alternative sources of energy, cutting our nation's debt, strengthening the American Economy.
Just STFU you moron. How can you crawl up on your horse and say "How they served does matter - but not in an election." then turn around and say "but he actually went over there which is more than Bush ever did." aren't you doing exactly what you claim makes you angry? Your mouth flops open and total crap just shoots out like a Pez dispenser.
Of course how someone acts and their record throughout years leads to conclusions of character. Would you be happy voting for Ted Kennedy only to find out after you helped elect him he was a hopeless drunk who ran off the road and allowed a woman to drown and sneaked back to his house to avoid a DUI?
So tell me how exactly doe s president set gas prices? Does he make an executive order that commodity brokers must buy and sell at cost? I know, he will sign an EO saying Exxon must sell gas at a loss. Perhaps he could invade all the OPEC nations, corner the market and extort the rest of the world.
I have an alert for you, get ready, are you sitting down? Might want to grab a tissue, Our national debt will NEVER be cut and it will NEVER go away EVER EVER EVER! There has been a national debt since George Washington borrowed to pay the revolutionary war soldiers. Our economy waxes and wanes and aside from the dollar being weak right now nearly the rest of our economic problems are directly related to us, the citizens being stupid and buying 4X the house they could afford on a 80/20 interest only ARM, or thinking that we were going to keep getting fuel at 1/4 the price the rest of the world gets it.
I am amazed at the width and breadth of your negativity and whining. At 20 years old, shacked up with your mommy and daddy you have NOT YET BEGUN TO SUFFER! It is a fact and if this current set of circumstances bothers you that much you should go directly to the 301 bridge and swan dive from the highest point because despite how much MSNBC keeps telling you how horrible you have it, it has been before, and will be MUCH worse in your lifetime.
