Barack could have enlisted, could have did time in Iraq but chose to not even enlist in the national guard.Barack Obama was not old enough to have served in Vietnam. George W. Bush ducked service in Vietnam by way of the National Guard.... and yet, his campaign did everything they could to smear the service of John Kerry, who did serve.... that took balls.
That's not what happened at all. There were members of that "Swift Boat" attack ad who gave first hand testimonial accounts to events in which they were not present.Barack could have enlisted, could have did time in Iraq but chose to not even enlist in the national guard.
John smeared himself when he tried to tell stories that he was not involved in.

That is hardly "smearing himself." Your assessment of Kerry is ridiculous.Like I said, he smeared himself.
In another book, "Tour of Duty" by Douglas Brinkley, Kerry told of a mortar attack on Christmas Eve 1968 near the Cambodian border in Sa Dec. That book, according to the Post, quotes Kerry's journal: "At some points, the border was only fifty yards away and it then would meander out to several hundred or even as much as a thousand yards away. …"
Eventually, the Kerry camp clarified that Kerry merely got the Christmas Eve date wrong and that several stories about possible incursions "have gotten confused."

"The Swift Boat Veteran's for the Truth," campaign included first-hand testimonial accounts from at least two men who were not present at the incidents that they claimed to have witnessed. All of this was to help assist the re-election campaign of a President (George W. Bush) who not only did not serve in Vietnam, but also failed to fulfill his obligations to the National Guard... and it was this same President, who had already started two wars which the United States would be entangled in for more than a decade a piece.
Kerry/Edwards was like having Trump/Hilary on the same ticket. Bush /Cheney were 2 of the ten most dislikable people in the country by late 2003. Dems came up with a brilliant plan to run two people who were somehow MORE hated. I didn’t see it coming or think a party could be that stupid. Then Republicans trotted out Mitt and Paul Ryan and I was wrong again.
That's a fun way to debate. "I make stupid claims, and when shown wrong, make a joke about how I am always a jackass." Good job bro. Keep it up.
Or you could just read the graph. You don't get to play victim when I serve you the meal. But instead you went with bs excuses.I was trying to keep it friendly and I actually am sitting in the dark, no contacts and rocking my child to sleep. In the future we can definitely make it personal since you decided to go that direction. Bro.

More youth and young people are actually starting to swing red. Not all young people believe this nonsense about gender. You'd be surprised actually.You mean the youth that don’t even know who we won our independence from? Or how many world wars there were? Or are you talking about the same youths that think men can get pregnant and there are 400 genders? The fact that more youth identify with the Democrats is not surprising.
