#4  RN, I'm sure VC the wonder dog gave it to him during his last run to Cambodia on Christmas Eve '68.

#3  I'm sure Kerry can pull a fireman's hat out of his ass and say something like: "See, I've bought got one too!"

#2  Steve Cassidy did the right thing and voted with the wishes of the rank and file.

Peter Gorman looks foolish. He should have allowed a member vote before he endorsed Kerry. He went against the wishes of a majority of the fire officers.

#1  Bush said the endorsement (Firefighters Union), nearly three years after he visited the World Trade Center rubble, was especially meaningful, "because the truth of the matter is, the inspiration I received from the firefighters on that site is something I'll never forget."

"To see the courage and compassion and decency of our fellow Americans during an incredible time of stress has shaped my thinking about the future of this country," he said. His eyes misted as he stood among the firemen, holding a black fire helmet that said "Commander in Chief."

Say what you will about G.W. Bush - but there is a man who genuinely loves this nation.

As a comparison, can you visualize John Kerry ever being able to generate a genuine emotion like this about anything other than himself?
