So are you going to call John Warner a liar too?

"The Republican chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee said yesterday that John Kerry "deserved" his combat medals for heroism in Vietnam, which some vets have disputed.

Sen. John Warner, an ex-Navy secretary under President Richard Nixon, particularly defended the process by which Kerry won his highest honor, the Silver Star.

"I'd stand by the process that awarded that medal, and I think we best acknowledge that his heroism did gain that recognition," Warner (R-Va.) told CNN's "Late Edition."

John McCain came out and said that the attacks on Kerry were dishonest and they ignored that. Why would they care what Senator Warner says? Bush is losing and they are trying to hold on to anything that gives them a bit of hope....

Yeah, I know. The further behind they get, the nastier they get, which causes them to just get further behind!
