John Kerry; served in Vietnam, EARNED a Purple Heart. Three, in fact. George W; National Guard, given an "Honorable Discharge" after doing absolutely nothing.
Care to compare?

Kerry
That comment he made about the solders was utterly stupid. Here's a letter I wrote to the Kansas City Star newspaper.
Kerry's comments were stupid and highly misinformed. The vast majority of Americans servings in Iraq are college educated men and women who joined the reserves, thinking that it meant a weekend a month and 2 weeks a year. They learned differently. I would be willing to guess there are far more college graduates serving in Iraq than those with only high school diplomas, the first time in the history of the military that has happened.
What is worse, Democrats, led by Congressman Moore are going on the attack against solders who were paying child support based on the civilian income, as the time they were called up to active duty. Their income dropped, but with the exception of Missouri and Illinois, they have to keep up their child support payments, even if they exceed their military income.
These men will be coming back to face prosecution and persecution for being behind in their support. I've written Congressman Moore about it two years ago, and he said nothing could be done about it, but now, he is introducing legislation to further erode their rights, just because they obeyed their orders to serve.

First of all, they both went Yale, so 'dummy' is not a word that should be mentioned in the same sentance as either of their names. Second, on a list of things that should be considered important for being President, GPA falls somewhere between favorite clothes designer and favorite color. The ability to take tests well doesnt apply to anything the President does.

Wow...and I'm sad because I'm going to graduate around 3.9+ and not with a 4.0. At my university, you can't graduate with a 2.0 in most programs. I see the point you're trying to make, but I can't say that either one performed well in college.

Actions speak louder than words. A decorated war vet, has more credibility with me than some Connecticut /Texan, who's war record.......is still nonexistant.
One fought for his country, the other fights to control his country.......absolutely.
Nobody voted for King Bush.

They both wander aimlessly through life mercifully free from the ravages of intelligence. You don`t need brains when you have as much money as they have. I wonder if you can make Ketchup flavoured Oil.
