3. What is so hypocritical about it?
Edited on Sun Aug-31-03 03:16 PM by nothingshocksmeanymo
At the time, he attempted to quell the flames of who served and who didn't. Repubs successfully made it an issue in spite of his efforts...now THEY have a draft dodging president who didn't show up for half of his miltary career summoning the patriotism and service of others and showing images of Max Clelland who lost a limb in the war and comparing him to Saddam Hussein.

Kerry has every right to reference his service to the country and his sacrifices...he ISN'T the one who made it an issue in the first place...now that it is...guess what?

BTW if this is about DEAN and NOT Kerry, it is a rather foolish thing to do IMHO...whoever wins the Dem nomination should NOT be torn apart by us.
