OK, Steve, I'll bring this down to your level:

>All Kerry did in the war was film himself.
At least he was BRAVE enough to volunteer.  All Bush did was EXCUSE himself.
That makes him the coward by your own definition.  He refused to fight.

>There is apsolutly no common sence

Are you trying to say that Bush is smarter than Kerry?  You're kidding,
right?  Take a look at that last sentence you wrote and then tell me you're
the one to judge that.

>Again, he has voted
> against everything that give liberal democrates the

Umm, again, you hosed yourself on this one.

Steve, you have a right to your opinion, but you should stop now before you
hurt yourself.  It just ain't working for you, ol' Son.
