What has John Kerry done--since his discharge from the Navy up to this day-- that would cause an undecided voter to consider voting for him as POTUS? Seriously?
See, that’s why most of my posts regarding the senator have been to poke fun at him/his wife or to point to something really ill-advised that he/his wife has said or done. All the nonsense on conservative blogs regarding the senator’s military service has a MEGO effect on me and I've seen nothing from the record of John Kerry's senatorial sojourn that would make me think, "hey, this guy might make a good president."
Yes, I know that the conservative focus on the Kerry service record exists because the senator himself has promoted it over and over again. And yes, I know that this is tit-for-tat for the undue focus placed on the president’s military service. (At least many of the critics of Senator Kerry’s service have some knowledge of how the military operates, which is more than I can say for most of those who criticized President Bush’s service.) So what? Senator Kerry served in a combat zone, got his medals and was discharged honorably; end of story, at least it is on this blog.
However, military service hasn’t exactly been a reliable barometer of how a given man will perform his duties as POTUS. So why are we even going there, other than to play the game of mutual mud-pie throwing?
Kerry-supporters: what has the senator done for his state and the country lately? Point me to the meat and potatoes.
