Too Far
If the rampant and unfounded criticism of John Kerry's service in Vietnam wasn't enough, now Bob Dole has the audacity to question Kerry over the seriousness of the wounds he suffered in combat. "Gee, John, I'm sorry that you were shot, but you know, it was just a flesh wound after all, you sniveling cry baby." I suppose that means the only person qualified to be President in Dole's warped logic is Max Cleeland, who lost both legs and an arm in Vietnam.
After the 2000 campaign, I knew that George Bush and his cronies were dirty campaigners capable of sinking to shamefully low levels. I had no idea, however, that they would sink as low as they have in the last few weeks. It's absolutely disgusting. But what do you expect from someone who has no track record or accomplishments to run on?
I suppose the question posed to Senator Joseph McCarthy all those years ago still resonates: "Have you no decency, sir? Have you no shame?"

Yeah, that was my response to when I read that Bob Dole had jumped into the fray. Makes me ill. It's a sad time to be a Republican, I would think. Unless you buy into the load of crap they are selling.
The scary thing is, this election is going to get uglier before it's over. No wonder so many people are so apathetic about politics and government in this country.
