But... I sometimes wonder if RFK Jr. only "talks the talk" but doesnt "walk the walk"...here are my concerns: * He writes of courage and the great military heroes such as Joshua Chamberlain; he always speaks of how his Uncle Joe II, Jack, Bobby and Teddy all served (two of them quite valiantly) in the military and fought to defend our freedom. And yet, Bobby Jr. himself has never served our country in uniform. Why not, one wonders? Has he ever explained why he didn't join the armed forces? * He speaks against the war in Iraq and says he wants to see our troops come home - I agree! He talks about "the rotten politicians" who are totally controlled by corporations, and I agree! In his speech at LIVE EARTH he said we need to get rid of them all, and I agree! So how can he turn around and give the pro-war, corporate candidate Hillary Clinton his endorsement for President? Is he with the people or the democratic party machine? * He says George bush has made the USA "the most hated nation on earth" and that is the reason he is considering running for public office. He has said that he would run because he wants to help save the country, and God knows we need someone in the 2008 race who truly believes this and is willing to fight the good fight. If he is serious about helping us save America, then why won't he stop talking and start running? Sorry, I don't mean to run the man down...actually I have always liked him and what he has to say. I loved John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy Sr. and would love to see RFK jr. run for President in `08 if he is cut of the same fine cloth that they were. But it seems his actions contradict his words, and I think I've raised some legitimate concerns in this post so I hope the admins won't delete this!!! If RFK Jr. happens to read this blog, I have only one question for him: Whose side are you on, Bobby?
