Get off it, Sam. It's Kerry's main, and sole, selling point. "What will you do about unemployment?" "If elected, I will . . . Hey! I was in Viet Nam!"

If he would shut up about it, and tell us what he will do as president, we might be able to move on. As it is, complaints like yours are unseemly and transparent.
This is so bogus. The fact that he was in Cambodia has nothing to do with his presidential campaign -- he's mentioned it about three times since 1979, right -- and the particular month that he was there is of no consequence at all. The only reason it's being discussed is that you guys are having a hard time telling the difference between the smell of blood in the water and the smell of horseshit.

Meanwhile, I can't get over the irony of conservatives complaining that Kerry is running on character instead of specific policies. But if you want to discuss policy, hoss, find a response to what he proposes other than, "he's lying."
