His voting record (as well as his lack of votes) are also open for discussion.
The swiftboat vets can only air their ad legally for the next month (unless they want to challenge CFR laws in the Supreme Court as unconstitutional, and I believe these laws should be struck down as censorship).
The swiftboat veterans have been trying to give their story exposure all year. Now is when we focus on it. Kerry has NO issues at this time except he is "anybody but Bush" and "a Vietnam War Hero".
John Kerry has deliberately kept himself an anonymous figure this campaign. Something for everyone with photos of him: snowboarding, waterskiing, yachting, bicycling, motorcycling, tossing a baseball, tossing a football, playing guitar, playing guitar with a cowboy hat, playing guitar with a folk singer, waving corn, crawling in a dust free "bunny suit" at NASA, "eating" at Wendy's, "talking with" enlisted men at Wendy's, re-enactment footage of him "in action" in Vietnam, Kerry seen stalking John Lennon, Kerry talking to cows, et al...
The Globe found itself further embroiled in the fight when the online Drudge Report posted an article contending that the reporter who wrote the piece about Commander Elliott, Michael Kranish, had been "Commissioned to Write Official Campaign Book Foreword - While Covering Kerry."
>>Of course the NYT's isn't a real news organization. That's why hell has frozen over. This article was something
similar to reporting.
LOL!
FYI
From Hugh Hewitt:
"Boston Globe editor Martin Baron put out a statement today stating that "[i]t is completely untrue that Boston Globe reporter Michael Kranish ever contracted to write for a Kerry campaign publication. Earlier this summer, Mr. Kranish worked with Public Affairs, the publisher of the Boston Globe biography of Kerry...to write a short introduction to a second project: an independent, unauthorized review of publicly available documents dealing with the platform and policy statements of Kerry and Edwards. When Public Affairs subsequently struck an agreement with the Kerry campaign to do an official book, Kranish's relationship with the project immediately ended."
The last sentence is very interesting because I don't know how it is if it never was?
Good signs!
The democRATs who know, don't care and the rest will never know, thanks to the media's complicity. They will all answer for their crimes against the people one of these days. You reap what you sow. They've sown nothing but hatred, dishonesty and dishonor. Their tongues are incessantly wagging with destructive words and they shamelessly parade their contemptable behavior before any audience of opportunity and manipulate the gullible to their own self-serving ends. They are empowered by the fires of hell itself and the time will come when those fires will consume the evil they've wrought and they will be held accountable.
The Boston Globe, New England's largest circulation newspaper, is a wholly owned subsidiary of The New York Times. That says it all in terms of their perspective and Jayson Blair-like reporting.
I'm sure they're just waiting for Bush to release his. Yes, I know he already did.
I don't think most Americans consider it fair play to kill a wounded man by shooting him in the back as he is fleeing.
I usually get the lazy eye when reading from the NY Times. I just assume it's all going to be BS.
They sure as hell don't want us discussing it on these terms. They wanted us to swallow the whole "war hero" myth without question, to accept the word of Kerry and his "band of brothers" that he was "The Real Deal." And I believe he actually thought he could get away with it, that he could shut down any pesky questions with a cold stare down his nose and a haughty "Do you know who I am?" If nothing else, these Swift Boat Vets have taken that away from him. Any time he trots out his Purple Hearts and his stories about his heroism, he'll be looking over his shoulder.
This whole thing has opened up serious and legitimate questions about the veracity and the character of this man who would be our president in a time of war. Kerry chose to make his service in Vietnam the centerpiece of his campaign. Kerry made those four months of service his credentials for fighting the war on terror. And Kerry started with the attacks on service records by letting his cronies accuse the Presdient of being AWOL from the National Guard. Kerry brough all this on himself, and his shrill, almost irrational lashing out in all directions is telling us all that much more about his character (or lack thereof).
Which simply means that he was an arrogant @$$h*le with an agenda, even back then. The only thing that's changed is he's had lots of time to practice becoming a bigger @$$h*le.

Shoot... I wish I had seen it!
BTW, I've been hoping to run into you :-) You made a funny poster at the Kerry-Edwards sign generator site, it had a hilarious quote from Kerry. Where did you find that???? My kids came to see what I was laughing about :-)
