I agree, this is not the place. But, as a Vietnam combat veteran (Navy), I just can't let it pass.   (Re your second to last sentence.)  I disagree totally that anyone who protested that war and hastened our withdrawal did anything but save countless more lives from loss or disability (probably mine also). I know many others similarly qualified veterans who I am quite sure would share my opinion. You are entitled to your opinion, but don't claim it is mine too, or don't claim it as fact, whatever the forum.   And tight lines   Steve From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rene Paul Sent: Monday, October 18, 2004 10:48 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: faith-based presidency I personally feel that this venue was not created for political diatribe, but if you insist.  I would rather have a President who has religious morals than a socialist communist sympathizer.  Kerry is in the North Viet Nam's Hall of Fame for being the most influential American who helped the North Vietnamese win the War.  Is he the man to be president?  Not in my book.    He was afordered that Honor in person by the North Viet Nam's Premier in Viet Nam in 1993.  He did more to contribute to the misery of every Viet Nam Vet while they were in Viet Nam and at home than any other person.  I fear his being elected more than anyone.  I've attached an article you probably won't read but it is there for another view, if you have the open mind to read it.  Rene -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Elderkin, Scott Sent: Monday, October 18, 2004 9:22 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: faith-based presidency let's keep this on subject.   PLEASE -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bob Lawless Sent: Monday, October 18, 2004 8:51 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: faith-based presidency Thanks for the article, Kent.  Very facinating, yet long and tedious at times.  The religious right is a force to be reckoned with to be sure and Bush is their man because he is one of them.  I have my daubbers down after today's Gallup poll and think we have lost plain and simple.  We led a poor campaign--always on the defensive when it should have been attack, attack and more attack.  Howard Dean would have done a better job.  But that's all water over the dam now.  I voted yesterday by absentee ballot.  I can only hope for a miracle which is tough since I don't believe in miracles.
