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?

Umm, excuse me highly_evolved? Have you even clicked any of the links I've provided?

I've given you reputable sources showing Kerry's struggle to get Purple Hearts in the past. He was NOT AWARDED a Purple Heart for his first injury, because

1. It was too minor.
2. It was not ENEMY-inflicted.

I'll repeat it again next time you argue about it because I know I'm correct -- for the simple fact that I have three sources showing it, and you have your word of mouth.

1. FreeRepublic -- Kerry's Purple Hearts

2. Insight Magazine -- Kerry's Purple Hearts

3. Michael Savage -- Kerry's Purple Hearts

I doubt you'll take the time to read the articles, but the evidence of Kerry's cowardish struggle to get a Purple Heart is there.

And where is your evidence of this heroic life-saving action? Because I have a source which claims the exact opposite, and shows the viewpoint of Kerry's ex-crewmate Stephen Michael Gardner, who claims that Kerry was a coward who would not engage the enemy.

Check this page out -- it's full of Kerry's hypocrisy:

Hypocrite

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.

Do I have any reason at all to believe a word you're saying? You probably have no idea what you're talking about, for one.

And secondly, My Way News quotes:

"The White House says Bush attended enough training during other months in 1972 to fulfill his service commitment for that year."

And, to refute your claim that " noone knows were he was. for all i care he was on holiday. jsut like he was one month after the 9-11 attacks.", eye-witness accounts that Bush completed his training.

Oh, and a little funny note -- the Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAullife who accused the president of "being AWOL" during the Vietnam War, has never served in the military himself, and fumbled over his response to a press conference question demanding why John Kerry served only 4 months in Vietnam when the complete tour is one year.

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.

Okay, pay attention:

The link between Saddam Hussein, and the Al-Qaeda network, is definite.

1. Tony Blair claims "definite link".
2. Iraqi Al-Qaeda trained fighters.
3. TIME -- 9/11 Commission Links.
4. Washinton Times -- Al-Qaeda links.

I could go on and on...but I realize that in the past you've failed to take the time to read my sources, so why bother?

o btw, i have never heard once kerry talk about his purple hearts.

Well, you need to watch CNN.
