The Democrat front-runner, John Kerry, testified before Congress after his stint in the Vietnam War that his fellow soldiers cut off the heads, tortured and raped the people of Vietnam. If what he claimed is true, then the people involved in such atrocities should be brought to justice and charged with war crimes.

After his service time was up, he disassociated himself from honorable servicemen by associating with Jane Fonda, and became a protester.

His career in the government is as one of the most liberal next to Ted Kennedy. He consistently votes against defense, lower taxes and is consistent in his votes to spend more and more of our tax dollars.

He is now using his service in Vietnam as a standard by which he should be measured against President Bush.

President Bush served his time honorably in the National Guard. He didn’t flee to England; he didn’t protest or lie to Congress.

Democrats will do or say anything to try to win back the presidency. They are in the business of the politics of personal destruction.

President Bush is doing a great job. He doesn’t waffle with the polls, he is committed to keeping our country safe and is committed to freeing the world of terrorists and thugs that would bring ruin on free, democratic societies. We are all safer and our future is brighter because of President Bush and his strong commitment to America.
