Good call Maureen....I can't believe McCain would hijack such an important discussion, like how many houses he owns, with some piddly little piece of dis-information like the 5+ years of his life that he sacrificed in service of this country. Questioning a POW does not make you cruel or unpatriotic, belittling their service with your rhetoric, like referring to his mentioning of it as "a line", or better yet, your "blah blah blah" dismissal.....that's not cruel or unpatriotic...that's just partisan crap. When Kerry's valiant service was getting torn to shreds....tell me....were you there to stand up for him, or were you just as eager to dismiss his discussion of his 3 purple hearts as "a line" and more "blah blah blah" ??? -- The flowers smell sweeter The closer you are to the grave ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:266663 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
