Those of us old enough to remember the Vietnam War and what John Kerry did after returning from the war will never consider voting for him. Those who don't can get some insight at www.wintersoldier.com. I don't deny him the right to say what he said, the timing of it made it treason, after all, there were many of our friends over there still fighting and he was giving comfort to the enemy. The swift boat vets can have their say, but to me, the interesting thing is that Mr. Kerry is attempting to squash attempts to re-publish the book he wrote in 1971, title "The New Soldier". Think about it, what doesn't he want you to read? Those of us who own businesses in NC (or anywhere) should be wary of any ticket with John Edwards on it. Insurance rates in this state, particularly in the medical field, have gotten so high that many doctors will not practice here. Mr. Edwards brags that he grew up poor in a mill town before going off to school and becoming a millionaire trial lawyer at the expense of doctors and businessmen. Guess what, I grew up poor as well, probably in worse conditions than Mr. Edwards, but I have made it, not by preying on others, but by helping others. I am one of the ones that Mr. Edwards targets. Put those 2 together and there is only one choice for me... Bush/Cheney '04.
