I admire McCain for his service to the country. I dislike Boyer for his
dis-service to the country.

At least you didn't go on a whacko left wing character assination track,
like certain of the lefties out west...

Character assassination is not a sole tactic of the left wing. The combat
service records of Murtha, Kerry and McCain were all attacked by the right.
I value the integrity of my own political standards which is why I was also
royally ****ed when -some- of the left was accusing GHWB of cowardice for
bailing out of his aircraft.

It's a cheap shot; accusing somebody of cowardice in combat during a life or
death struggle in which the accuser was never close to any similar
situation. Unfortunately, it's a tactic employed by contemptable and
embarrassing elements of both the left -and- right.

I agree. This is where our politics is. It started with the Robert Bork
SCOTUS hearings, and was perfected by the Clintonistas. Now, many members
of both parties attack each other, rather than debate ideas. Its sad,
actually....

Today's politicions are rank amateurs compared to some of the old school
boys!

As a result, Federalist newspapers claimed that the election of Jefferson
would cause the "teaching of murder robbery, rape, adultery and incest".

You are both correct. But, hey, back in The Day at least you could
challenge the opponent to a duel or just beat him with your cane on the
Senate floor... (We need more Senator fights.)

They were? Have any examples?

I remember some of the attacks on Kerry, but not the others.

But do you remember any by "the right"? I remember the Swift Boat Veterans
for Truth, but they weren't a right wing group, their message wasn't
political at all.

Humm, that is an interesting take. Who else would be attacking Kerry, if
not the right? And to say it isn't political, is, wellll...g

Those that wanted to set the record straight about what Kerry was saying
about their service.
