"Sen. John McCain said it all, and said it straight: The TV ad smearing Sen. John Kerry's Vietnam War service was "dishonest and dishonorable." Just as important was what else McCain said: "It was the same kind of deal that was pulled on me."

Any decent American would thank him for his service and move on to discussing the issues - Iraq, dead Americans, the deficit, the trade imbalance, the first net loss of jobs since Hoover.

But Conservatives don't seem to want to discuss issues, or respect the military service of one who was there and did that.

I don't know how they consider themselves to be patriotic. Talk about a disconnect. (Maybe jingoistic isn't really patriotism.)

Arf (Bow, they got nothing else but smear working for them. Give it up!)
