I've always kinda liked John Kerry. He seems like a steady and studious thinker. But I'm watching the Democrat debate in Wisconson right now and he just said "I stood up to Richard Nixon's war in Vietnam".
Huh?
Richard Nixon's war on Vietnam???
Has John F'n Kerry forgotten that it was his heroes Kennedy and Johnson that got us into Vietnam?
When Richard Nixon took office there were 500,000 American troops in Vietnam; when Nixon was forced out of office over chicken shit there were NONE
To call Vietnam "Nixon's war" is like calling the 50-yr Cold War "Reagan's war". He inherited it and decided to find a way to end it. Kerry seems to hide the facts that stand in his way.
Grrrr!!
Okay, I'm calm now.
I expect politicians to twist reality a little bit, but I'm really disillusioned with this current crop of fools who make bald-faced lies and expect to get away with it.

Posted by: Susie at February 17, 2004 08:10 AMMost politicians place their hopes on the fact that voters' memories start dimming after two to four years. Usually they are not disappointed.
