Thanks, you as well.
One more fact check for ya that just came out today and then maybe we can move on to issues? The "What you don't know about John Kerry" article mentioned the following falsehood.
"Sen. John McCain revealed that his North Vietnamese captors had used reports of Kerry-led protests to taunt him and his fellow prisoners. "
McCain just came out and said this isn't true. It is probably a bit too late considering it has appeared in over 550 Newspapers :-(.
Here's what McCain stated in an exchange with host George Stephanopoulos on the September 5 edition of This Week:
STEPHANOPOULOS: Cal Thomas, a columnist, just a few weeks ago, brought up a quote you had in 1973 where you said that Senator John Kerry's 1971 testimony was the most effective propaganda North Vietnamese captors had to use against us.
McCAIN: But, you know, I went back and looked at that article in, that was in 1973, when I first came home. There's no mention of John Kerry. I don't recall ever hearing John Kerry's name while I was in prison. Now, other of my POW friends did. I don't recall it.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So you don't want that used in this campaign?
McCAIN: Of course not, of course not. Look, I was fighting for the right of the people of South Vietnam to disagree with their government peacefully. So I didn't agree with the antiwar activities. But that's a right that American citizens have, to disagree with the policies of our government. It's a fundamental principle of democracy.

So on the subject of issues, what is the most important issue besides character to you that will effect your vote?
Economy, Defense, Foreign Policy, environment, choice, religion?
