Obama won and it just frosts your ass. And you're still smarting
because I caught you lying through your teeth and called you and
your swiftboat pals a despicable cancer on our body politic. But
it doesn't take a lot of "intellect" to figure that out.

No, it no more frosts my ass that Obama won, than if McCain had won. As I
stated earlier, I think that though Obama has a very thin resume, he is
marginally likely to be a better president than McCain would have been. I
frankly supported neither of them. I pray for Obama's welfare because the
thought of Biden as President scares me almost as much as the thought of
Pallin in that position would have.

As for my Swiftboat pals, yes acouple of my exshipmates and pals did serve
with Swiftboats. One earned a Bronze star while on the ship I served with
him and went on to earn a Silver Star while commanding a squadron of
Swiftboats. The other had command of an LST in the Delta that served as a
Swiftboat base. Both served in those capacities during the time Kerry was in
Nam. Both are lifelong Democratic voters. While neither had any specific
memories of events concerning Kerry, neither supported or had anything good
to say about him, and both remembered him as a glory hound who made no
secret of the fact that he was using his service as a vehicle follow in John
Kennedy's footsteps.

Despite my disdain for Kerry I said nothing about him during the campaign
because as much as I disliked him, I thought Bush would make a terrible
president. It was only after he lost, and it became apparent how bad Bush
really was and partisans like you tried to make Kerry out to be a saint,
that I spoke out. It seems that blind partisans like yourself cannot fathom
the concept that just because someone doesn't support one candidate, they
support the other.

your final sentence: that's probably a good thing in your case.
