I hope that one day, OAO, when you're running for supreme dictator of the Libertarian republic of New Hampshire, that I can pull out some of the quotes you've used on this board now. Some of the things you've said, which would clearly be a political nightmare, and thus hold you accountable for statements made during your naive youth.

This, essentially, is the same thing you are doing to John Kerry. There's not much to say about him, but one admirable fact is that he still stands by his days as a Vietnam vet. who protested the war. That takes character, since I'm certain many of us would like to bury our less admirable, or more "controversial" moments somewhere deep in the closet.

Let's attack Kerry on his voting record, from both the Left and the Right. That makes sense, and there's a lot to criticize. But the attacks against his Vietnam War stance, which was clearly a polarizing issue, is just plain childish and stupid.
