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?

you are wrong about the purple hearts btw. dont believe everything you read on the internet. kerry while injured by an enemy, saved a crewmans life.

Bush did go a-wall for a year. he was not honerably discharged for one year but as u said 6-months. (wich may be true but i do not believe the internet) yes father paid for him to be let out of flight skool early. noone knows were he was. for all i care he was on holiday. jsut like he was one month after the 9-11 attacks.

To attack a country you better as hell have good enough information to do it. Bush did not have this information thereforthe UN disagreed to help him or for that matter even let him go to war. HIS INFORMAITON WAS IN CONCLUSIVE.

o ya and about that random thing ya sry i thought that i had edited that out.
