Turn on the Republican convention right now! Bush Sr.'s on!

In a recent speech, John Edwards said:

"If you have any question about what John Kerry's made of, about his leadership ability, about his strength and his courage, just spend three minutes, three minutes with the men who served with him 30 years ago who still stand by his side. They saw up close when their lives were at risk that this man is a leader, that he has courage, determination, and he would never leave any American behind."

Kind of invalidates Edwards quote, doesn't it?

yeah, except for four years experience as the President of the United States of America. Hardly worth noting.

Yes, some people will also sale their daughters for crack.

"David joined the Navy," [Ida] Alston said. "He didn't have to. My daughter, Ida Mazetta, wanted to go to college. He told me that the only way we could afford it was for him to join up and save some money."

Ida Mazetta went to college. David Alston went to Vietnam and got shot in the head and shoulder, his mother said.

He lived and came home to Boyd Hill and his sweetheart, Lunice Lowery. They married and had two sons. Alston worked at a box factory, then managed the Wendy's restaurant on Cherry Road. [..] Alston, who grew up attending Mount Hebron Baptist Church, became an ordained minister in the mid 1990s and preaches part time. Lunice died in 1998, but her mother, Beulah, still lives in Rock Hill. [..]

While her son-in-law rarely talked of war, Lowery said he talked of Kerry and admired his courage.

"He didn't like to talk about it, so we didn't press him," Lowery said. "But David always appreciated what he (Kerry) did for them. He talked real nice about him."

Many young men died in the Vietnam War, but David Alston didn't and his mother says that's good enough for her where Kerry is concerned.

"Kerry was his lieutenant," Ida Alston said, "His commander. He had nothing bad to say about him (Kerry). He said he was a good man. Very, very good."

Well, just remember what happened to the last JFK that was president...

It is possibly a comment composed entirely of stupidity or a completely dense, absolutely unremarkable example of this writer's lack of comprehension. Seems about the normal level to me.
