The Truth about Kerry!

Alright, who is John Kerry ? I did not know much about the man except that he was running for the most powerful job in the world, the President of USA; till I saw the Democratic National Convention...While the build up to his speech was good what with Biden, Edwards and Obama talking reassuringly and Kerry's family doing the emotional drama part, Kerry himself gave a very bland and non-opinionated speech....And it is a candidate's opinions that one wants to hear, not tales about his Purple Hearts (from his 4 month old stint 40 years ago at Viet Nam) from a Band of Brothers......

While I am no political or speech analyst, one thing was surely obvious to the common man, that Clinton was and still is one of the most well rounded, charismatic and brightest strategist in the history of America as well as the Democratic party....His speech made much more sense than Kerry's at least...

I am no Republican; but I find it difficult to come to terms with the fact that Kerry is a good leader for USA given his past acts inlcuding his much doubted war stories, his highly selfish political growth plan starting with his publicity stint coming back from Viet Nam, then his self serving work in public office to his weird divorce and annulment of marriage after 18 years of being married....Please checkout the video AD promoted by the SWIFT Vets and try to glance through excerpts of the book "UNFIT TO COMMAND"...

Who is better and will win the election ? To my mind and of most of my friends neither Bush nor Kerry are deserving candidates and yet one of them will govern the strongest democracy of the World...Isn't it strange how thousands of educated people in every part of the World don't just vote as they don't find any candidate worthy...Its the swing voters who will help a candidate win and it is for their sake that both Republicans and Democrats will run millions of dollars worth of TV ads and other campaigns...
