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?

alright CrackedRearView. what you have there are magazine articles, you do not have official documents. magazine articles are part of the mass media. the mass media manipulates information. you only get awarded purple hears if you deserve it THAT IS HOW IT WORKS. im sorry but did you watch the democratic national convention? kerrys crewman specifically talked about the time that he saved a crewmans life. he operated one of the most dangerous boats possible.

I NEED TO WATCH CNN?! o ya and that is jsut about THE MOST RELIABLE NEWS SOURCE ISNT IT? well if u can find me something of kerry talking about his own purple hearts then i will believe you. but i have not heard him him ONCE talk about his own purple hearts so dont start talking about how he brags about them wen hedsnt even talk about them.

"Iraq does have weapons of mass destruction" THAT is why we went into irq. i have numerous videos of bush saything this himself "the truth will come out and the truth is that iraq does have weapons of mass destruction" again that is something bush said. then after we found out that there areno WMDs in iraq bush said that there were "programs of weapons of mass destruction" and then we find out that THERE ARE NONE. THAT is why we went into iraq, (or supposedly) your information is mass media. people will do anything to be part of the mass media so do not trust them. they do not have enoug hinformation so they are guessing that is why you are getting those articles because the people are guessing and saying wat they basically dont know.

watch "uncovered: the wholetruth about the iraq war" maybe then you will understand
