Healthy Blog Debate
This was a post found in the Kerry blog:
"Kerry has no back bone. He might get military honors for the vietnam war, but once he gets into a bind, his skin is the only thing he cares about.
His supporters will be left hanging in the cold, once he gets elected. He does not care about people. Period.
Just look at the actions. He unabashedly made fun of his own democratic comrades. He shamelessly copies other people's pioneering efforts. He panders to every group that he talks to. He votes on the wars and follows bush's lead. Then he flim-flam back into a "regime change here" soundbite.
Kerry is the typical effete decadent ultra-rich liberal politician. It is because of the likes of him that our Democratic party has gone down in the polls. Kerry DEFINITELY does not represent democrats"

HERE IS MY RESPONSE:
"This is for John, who posted on August 17.
Do you know what military honors John Kerry earned? The Bronze Star, the Silver Star, and three, count them, THREE Purple Hearts.
Let me quote from www.perscom.army.mil:
"The Silver Star is awarded to a person who, while serving in any capacity with the U.S. Army, is cited for gallantry in action against an enemy of the United States..."
"The Bronze Star Medal is awarded to any person who, while serving in any capacity in or with the military of the United States after 6 December 1941, distinguished himself or herself by heroic or meritorious achievement or service, not involving participation in aerial flight, while engaged in an action against an enemy of the United States..."
Let me quote from www.purpleheart.org:
"The Purple Heart is awarded to members of the Armed Forces of the US who are wounded by an instrument of war in the hands of the enemy... It is specifically a COMBAT DECORATION."
You do not earn these medals without a backbone; you do not earn these medals by saving your own skin; you earn these medals by putting your comrades before yourself.
I met John Kerry last weekend, and he is anything but effete; he did not show up in a Rolls Royce or a Navigator; he is not using his or his wife's personal money for this campaign.
He did not let his fellow soldiers hang out in the cold; he has not let the people of Massachusetts hang out in the cold; he will not let Americans hang out in the cold.
If you haven't noticed, every candidate has a web site; some even have Meetup groups. That is not shameless copying; it is using the technology that is available. Dean hasn't copyrighted online campaigning yet, has he?
Have you heard John Kerry speak? He speaks on all the issues relevant to the American people; that is not pandering - it is outlining his plan, a typical strategy of all campaigns. Don't ALL the candidates speak on issues relevant to the crowd they're facing?
I was born poor, I was a squid in the Navy, and I feel that John Kerry is the right person, the ONLY person, who can beat George Bush.
Get over yourself, and please, do not deride someone's military service, unless you yourself have been there.
VETERANS SUPPORT KERRY!"

I thought I did pretty well. It really gets me riled when someone badmouths a veteran! AAAARRRGGGHHHH!
Must channel bad energy into getting Kerry elected! Whew! That's better....
I am currently trying to organize Kerry supporters to participate in the March on Washington on August 23. I will post to the Kerry blog! Hey, that might work!
