Props to John Kerry

(1/2) > >>

Trauma-san:
For showing that somewhere deep down inside he actually is a man.  He's handled this Reagan thing very well... he's said a few negative things about him, but nothing out of line; he cancelled his political functions for the week, because he knew that it would be improper to confront the media's (and his own constituents) questions about Reagan, etc... and today he went and visited Reagan in California.  

There's 2 ways to look at that, you could say he was trying to capitalize on it, and make it a p.r. event... but I don't believe that's true.  I believe he genuinely wanted to pay his respects to a man he didn't agree with but still was able to respect.  He showed up unannounced, didn't make a big deal of it, stayed a few minutes, then left.  He's in a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation, and I think he handled it well.  He gets my respect at least for that.  I don't really hate Kerry, I just think he makes poor choices sometimes and his policies are ludicrious... but as a person I don't think he's evil or anything, I think these past few days his actions (and inactions) have shown that he's at least, when it comes down to life and death, not so far gone as to totally abandon common courtesy and the notion of respecting the dead.

While I'm at it, another thing to give Kerry props for is that he served in Vietnam.  Even though he came back and talked all kinds of shit about what happened over there, he still point blank did his tour of duty and served his country, for ordinary people like me and you; so he deserves respect for that, as well.  










P.S. - Vote Bush.  

pappy:

Trauma-san:
You're just surprised because you don't understand someone who thinks like me.  I'm actually fair.  

JTSimon:
Kerry doesn't give a shit about you...So stop wasting your time making bullshit threads  ;D

Trauma-san:
That's just because he doesn't know me.  If he knew me, I'm sure he'd give a shit.  He showed that today in California.
