| The point of the thread was what Howard Dean said. Bush and Cheney are not running for office. Dean's contention was that because Kerry had the military experience he would be a better president than Bush. Ok, fine. Is he now going to say the same thing about McCain? Hell no he isn't. It is just an example of how what you say can come back and bite you in the ass. You said Bush dodged Vietnam by joining the gaurd. What the hell does that have to do with anything? Nobody was touting his military experience. Hell, nobody even mentioned him or compared anybody to him so what the hell does it have to do with the election coming up now?
If Gore and Kerry both served more military time in a war zone than Bush did (which they did), and they both lost the election, then obviously it doesn't mean a whole lot now does it? The problem is that Dean made it an issue, and apparently wanted to make it a deciding issue at one time. Since he is the leader of the Democratic party, is he going to stand by that assertion or not?
