Dean and the "draft dodging" B.S. [View All]

This is mostly to the serial Dean bashers:

Do you really think that you'll turn any heads with the "Clark/Kerry served their country while Dean skiied" crap when most Dean supporters were stirred to his campaign by his anti-war position? If Dean had made any kind of attack on Kerry or Clark on their war records, this little talking "point" might make sense, but he didn't, and it strikes me as possibly the stupidest, most hollow, jingoistic bullshit barb you could sling at Dean.

Now, I'd gladly support either Kerry or Clark if they get the nomination over my guy, but I'm not particularly impressed with either of them based solely on the fact that their Vietnam vets. Had I been alive during the Vietnam War, you can bet your ass I would have torn up my draft card and served time, just as I would have had there been a draft during this bullshit invasion. I don't begrudge these two men their service, but I don't go all doe eyed for them over it either. I'm impressed with other credentials of both men, but forgive me if I can't get all hyped about their participation in a war that was just as much bullshit as the invasion of Iraq. Fighting the VietCong didn't make ANY Americans safer, nor did it protect their freedoms, it just made a lot of them dead. So please, save me your nationalist crap. If you want to tout the merits of your candidate, there are much better ways to do it than using the kind of crap that would be right at home on FreeRepublic.
