You're projecting, pmb. I never said I was more American than any of you guys. I was simply stating that for a politician to undermine the war effort of his own country - for his own selfish political gain (and not because he is ideologically opposed to the war) - is unAmerican. Period. The voters accepting such behavior is more a reflection of media manipulation and psuedo-intellectualism than it is an indication of love of country.

Kerry says he will continue the war, but calls it a mistake. He says he supports the troops, but he blasts the Commander-in-Chief, the generals, etc... for every gaffe in the war - real or imagined. He said yesterday that if he had been President, he may have invaded Iraq, too. Yes, no, maybe, maybe not, depends, wtf?!

The dude is all over the map on every issue except "tax the rich", but with the lives of our troops, the lives of the Iraqi citizenry, the security of our country, and the credibility of our national resolve all at stake, this is one "issue" that he needed to be clear on.

Why are all the anti-war people voting for Kerry? Hasn't he publicly stated that he will continue the war in Iraq, and perhaps even expand the number of troops we have on the ground there? Why support one pro-war candidate over another? Wouldn't you rather have the guy who believes the cause is just in charge - rather than the guys who uses the war to inflame the anti-war voters, uses the war for loitical posturing, undermines our leaders and troops, encourages the enemy, but nominally supports the war? The war is a done deal - why change the current Pres, nat'l security advisor, secretaries of defense, state and homeland security, in favor of a DIFFERENT group of pro-war leaders?

BTW, if you like gambling (apparently you guys do ) sportsbook.com has Kerry the underdog at 6-5 and Bush favored at 5-7. Hope they're right.
