Choose your foxhole companion

I would like to end some of the Republican hatriot-funded "Swift boat liars for Bush" (or whatever they call themselves) garbage being printed in this paper and chattered about endlessly by the millionaire pundits right now.

Let's see if I have this one straight:

One candidate for president was actually in Vietnam, serving one full tour on a frigate before requesting to be sent in-country for another tour, and earned three Purple Hearts and two medals for bravery.

The other candidate for president was in a champagne unit in Texas, going through (possibly) cocaine and (definitely) booze like Rush through Oxycontin, and could not be bothered to show up for his required medical exam, or even to finish out easy duty in Alabama.

One candidate has several guys who actually were on the boat with him testifying to his bravery under fire, the other candidate can't find one guy who remembers him showing up for his last 12 months of duty.

Who would you rather be in a foxhole with?

I think Kerry needs to bring this up during the debates. It could be equivalent to Reagan's "Are you better off now than you were four years ago?"

"Who would you rather be in a foxhole with?", then go over the points above.

Kerry needs to keep on message with his war record. He can't let Bush intimidate him into dropping it. It's really working, and during the debates he could finish Bush off with it if he plays his cards right.

That really should be enough to win it for him.

sour grapes!

5. Love it!! "who would you rather be in a foxhole with?"

It's the perfect question for a fear-wrought society (the fear that chimpshit/asscroft/rumsfeld keeps stirring up). ....it's the perfect zinger when chimpsit brings up terror/security during the debates...

6. Bingo.

Raven asked the same thing right after the convention: "who would you rather be in a boat with out at sea?"

7. He should say those exact words

sometime during the debate.
