As I sat down to eat lunch and check my email, I found something rather unpleasant in my inbox. Spam. Supposedly from "John Glenn", the sender's address was "info@johnkerry.com". It was praising the Democrat candidate in a special election here in Ohio, one Paul Hackett, who is apparently an Iraq war veteran. No disrespect for his service -- he's done more than I can -- but for Democrats to try to sell a candidate as a vet is galling.
How many times have we heard Democrats say we shouldn't have gone to Iraq? That it's all lost? That we're doing more harm than good? That it's just a waste of good men and a distraction? And now they're trying to sell a candidate on his service in the war?
The only thing I know about Paul Hackett is that he chose to be in the party of John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, Robert Byrd, Dick Durbin, Cynthia McKinney, Sandy Berger, Michael Moore, Jimmy Carter, etc. ad nauseam. That's enough for me to question his judgement and fitness for office. |
