Do you think that Kerry's advisers are giving him bad advise on purpose to make sure he loses, so Hilliary can run in 2008, can't believe anyone can be so stupid as Kerry to keep bringing up Vietnam..but then again what else doe he have..

His personality won't let him. He must be the center of the universe, the knight in shining armor, the hero. He can't help himself.

I'd say that IMHO, this may POSSIBLY explain Kerry's actions as an individual and may be worth checking into...
Perhaps we can get some help for him...
This is just my opinion, and it may be wrong, but this is the way I see it...
Here is a site for self-diagnosis...
Maybe Kerry can confirm this or not?
http://www.mentalhealth.com/dx/dx-pe07.html
Treatment possibilities are here:

Don't worry Kerry,
"Help is on the way"
Thoughts observations, am I full of bunk when I came across this?

I am forced to admit that I'm completely flummoxed by McCain's lack of outrage. He has not put any emotion behind his words that John F-ing Kerry's post Viet Nam life is fair game. Everytime I see him, I expect him to support Kerry, and insist that everyone back off. IMO, McCains' whole attitude over this is illogical. Anyone else see this in McCain? _________________ No whiners! |

McCain can't relate to the hatred and other experiences the majority of the returning Viet Nam vets experienced. When he was finally returned home, he came home as a hero. He doesn't understand the full impact of what candidate Kerry did to other vets. |

McCain, like all politicians became a political animal, void of thought except re-election.
It is a tragedy. One reason I support term limits. _________________ MACV '64...65

In McCains case I agree with you, but this appears to be a total disconnect to his constituents. Not that he hasn't been out of touch with us on other issues, but this issue is huge in terms of national importance, and I would think that he would want to be seen as more than casual about it. Maybe that's why he's a senator and I'm just an old fart. _________________ No whiners! |

Sonar5 is absolutely correct. Treatment prognosis is very, very poor. |

His advisors can give him their advice good or bad but the final decision is Kerry's. If he is using bad advice lets hope he keeps it up.

It may be kind of like the fact Hitler wouldn't accept any advice late in WWII and how many lives that saved the Alies. Just say a prayer of thank you and go on. |

What I would guess from listening to McCain is that he believed he personally had done something grand in "healing the wounds" of Vietnam. He kissed & made up with Kerry, and they worked together on the POW/MIA issue. In his mind, that closed the book on Vietnam. He keeps saying we don't need to reopen old wounds. I think he sees it as his big accomplishment, his legacy, even, being unravelled. _________________ It's downright brilliant the way he's reserving his devastating intellect to spring it on us at exactly the right moment. |
