I don't care for Scarborough but he's 100% right on this. Palin makes Hubert Humphery look like Lincoln. Her only really skill is an uncanny ability to remain the spotlight despite a ton of evidence that she's really not a good politician and kinda clueless in general.

Too many people in the GOP seem to think that their bases hates the Dems enough that they'll vote for any jackass with an elephant button on their shirt. That might have been true at one point but not anymore.

You mean more so than the military's? Why, because you don't agree with Kerry's politics?

[rasilio]

Only partially. I grew up in his district and watched him rise to power from Assistant DA on up and have had problems with his political opportunism long before he was elected to the Senate, in fact long before I knew about his service in Vietnam or testimony before Congress after returning.

When he was charged with political maneuvering to get a silver star for actions that were on the whole not terribly out of the ordinary for anyone in his unit it fit exactly with the John Kerry that I had known as a DA when I first started to become politically aware in the late 70's.

[kinvore]

When was he "charged" with political maneuvering?

[rasilio]

Yes charged, accused. It the term is not only restricted to fomal legal proceedings, basically anytime someone makes a claim about you you could say they are charging you with whatever the claim is.

This should not be interpreted to mean that there was any criminal activity he was accused of, just being a slimeball.

[kinvore]

Any asshole can make an accusation, was there any proof provided or was it just a baseless smear tactic?

More credible than his own crew members? Yeah, the Swift Boaters that weren't there when the event happened.
