What's perhaps more sad is that you feel free to talk like this when you don't even read posts. What part of "registered Democrat" didn't you understand? And I _love_ the sort of thinking that leads you to "a security guard is likely a Republican", by the way. > > I prefer looking at Kerry's comrades in arms, EVERY > SINGLE ONE OF WHICH stepped forward to be with him, > expressing admiration and gratitude.

Also, "EVERY SINGLE ONE OF WHICH" (incidentally, do you think shouting makes you look _more_ rational?) is, you know, factually not true, since one of his crew has come out very strongly against him. Nor, in fact, was I supporting the Swift Vet accusations (most of which I found absurd and repugnant and I opposed, as I oppose _all_ the 527 groups), just relating my experiences as to why Kerry is viewed the way he is. Again, what I'm doing here is I'm distinguishing between my opinions and actual evidence. > As for Dems being soft.

Invasion plans for pretty much every country on earth are regularly planned in the bowels of the Pentagon under every President. That's sort of what it's for. Apart from which, I didn't say they were soft (although I do think that). I was explaining why I thought (that's my opinion) that the overwhelming majority of military officers are Republicans (that is a fact). For someone who has abruptly adopted a veneration for everyone in the military, I would think that this is a fact that you need to deal with. As I am occassionally moved to point out, you don't get to choose your own. ===== Gautam Mukunda [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Freedom is not free" http://www.mukunda.blogspot.com _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
