But of course he's happy to employ Swift Boat Veterans for Truth members to smear other people for their lack of patriotism, so he's fair game as far as I'm concerned.<BR/><BR/>As I've said, heroism and patriotism aren't presidential qualifications. The idea they're floating, that Clark having been Allied Supreme Commander means nothing and McCain having made some bombing runs means a lot is simply ridiculous. I think that history shows that military experience doesn't mean a hell of a lot when it comes to being a good president anyway.Capt.

(remember the purple band-aids at the 04 repug convention?) but if you imply that military service doesn't necessarily prepare you for the duties of president -- well, you are set upon by the righteous masses.<BR/><BR/>Apparently we won't have to worry about a shortage of hyprocrisy from the right (or likely from the left either) in this campaign.RRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12196333516263804947noreply@blogger.com
