Is John Kerry losing control? First he says Vice-President Cheney called him 'unfit to lead this nation' (correct IMO, but the Swifties are the ones using those words, not the VP). Then Kerry in his midnight madness rally, which is in itself a sign of desperation and disrespect (although in politics respect really doesn't apply much anymore), again brought Vietnam into play saying,

"I guess I'll leave it up to the voters whether five deferments makes someone more qualified to defend this nation than two tours of duty."

Well, to be completely up front, Kerry should include his attempt at receiving a deferment (which was denied), but what intrigues me most is why John Kerry running against Dick Cheney instead of George W. Bush?
