Why/why not should your vote sway?, Reasons for voting. Options

For example, the way Kerry prances around bragging about his three purple hearts, when in reality the first was for a piece of shrapnel the size of a rose thorn...

The second one was when he got hit with rice that exploded on a Sampan.

The third was when his buttocks got knocked against the Pilot House of his boat.

And he's proud to have requested purple hearts for such minor injuries, none of which required any loss of duty time nor hospitalization.

I don't think Kerry's (or Bush's for that matter) war record should make someone vote either Democrat/Republican this year, and I don't think either candidate should make it a point to throw it out into the public as if people should vote for that reason.

Any other's you guys can think of?

why vote for someone who is too stupid to keep from going to war? kerry is a soldier he is not a leader. he is told what to do, how to do it, and when to do it. he follows orders to the T. Bush is harder for the puppet masters to control, he does things with or without the approval of other nations or his advisors, he is a cowboy who gets things done, he is like our founding fathers. but yeah i agree with you about the purple hearts they are awarded regardless of severity of injury. but remember kerry fought half heartedly and destroyed his awards.
