#1 So McCain finds the ads "dishonorable and dishonest", but thinks that Hanoi John's 1971 activities are fair game in the election? Er Senator, I believe 1/2 of the book explains in detail the 1971 activities. So what is your objection to the latest ad and the book in general? You just don't like the 1st part where Hanoi John is exposed as an opportunist?
Double speak Senator. Get your friggin act together.
That is your opinion and your opinion only. A lot of us think Hanoi John is an outright traitor. If you don't have the guts for it then so be it.

#2 A last comment, after I read my post, I am saying that with the greatest respect for this man who endured far more than I will ever know. When I say guts it most certainly is not in anyway to disparage this great patriot. But Senator you are wrong this time.

#3 Under normal circumstances I would have to agree with Sen. McCain: what Kerry did in a forward area under fire is actually irrelevant in a presidential campaign. Kerry and McCain both did far more than I ever did and for that they have earned my solemn respect.

What Kerry did after the war is unforgivable: his lies, his perfidy, and his treachery, all either criminal or bordering on criminal conductl; and his abject refusal to even deal with these matters pertaining to his postwar activities is what has this event locked into a long term debate, which may well not expire this November.

However, Kerry did make his war record the centerpiece of his campaign, using it to mask his leftist, dovish views in time of war, to break the old tradition of the US not changing presdients during time of war; so every element of his war record should be dealt with even if Kerry refuses to.
