CountryUnited States of America
There is a cleavage and a divide in America like I have never seen before.
boat john-kerry command
Everybody who served in John Kerry's boat under his command, save one, has stood with him.
vietnam bills chance
As Bill Clinton said so eloquently at the convention, during Vietnam there was a chance to serve; there was a chance not to serve.
reality iraq government
Since the election, since the formation of a government, the death in Iraq has increased. The United States stands by, helpless to do anything about it. That's the reality, not George Bush's revisionist history!

The problem with smear campaigns is that too often they work.

Iraq is in a civil war. There is no road in that country that is safe.

John McCain has become the de facto running mate of George W. Bush.
running grateful president
When you run for president of the United States, everybody does the same thing in the campaign-they talk about veterans, how much they admire them, how grateful they are.

John McCain was victimized in the South Carolina primary.

The advantage that hospitals have over other institutions is that hospitals are community-based. You can't outsource your work; you can't move your emergency department to Pakistan.
thinking stronger together
