Your response is wonderfully representative of the usefulness of many conservative blogs on this story. Lefty one's, too. At least they give you more to work with the CBS, though.

Only to the true believers, who, incidently, probably also see "The Night Before Christmas" as a parable about Iraq.

OK. Good one.

Matter? Matter how? Do I think that, in both of their lives, truth may have been sacrificed at times for personal reasons? Sure. Do I think that either situation disqualifies for the office? Nope. But, Kerry chose his battle issues. He chose to say to us "my character, as defined and shaped and demonstrated by my service in the battlefields of Viet Nam, is what qualifies me to be your leader." Bush said nothing like that. Bush presented us with other criteria by which to judge him. Look at Kerry's silly-ass theme for the convention - he leaves no choice BUT to go after his service-as-qualifier mantra. So, yeah, to that extent, it matters - it is a direct response to his offer of proof.

What a load of crap. Knowing that the GOP would try to do to him what they did to Clinton and Gore, Kerry spent the convention selling character. If he'd gotten up there and listed a bunch of policies he wanted to enact, the smears would have been even more successful. Stop pretending that the smears have anything to do with what he said. Everyone knew the Swift Crap was coming.

You've been using this "we do it all the time because we're so diverse and intelligent" theme to discount the fact that my examples show that it's not just Repubs, saying baseless things for marketing purposes, for quite some time. Sometimes they really mean it.

And sometimes they're ready to run of a cliff like lemmings because the polls are tied. I wasn't saying it was a good thing.

He has excellent communication skills. Unfortunately, it would hurt his chances to accurately communicate who he really is. He's a hard-core liberal trying to play a moderate on the big stage. So, he needs to redirect attention, to things like "we, who have fought and been bloodied in foreign wars, understand the need for day care subsidies . . ."

He's no hard-core liberal, but pretend that if you want to. If he has excellent communication skills, we haven't seen them lately, but I'm thinking he'll have some mo' again before too long.
