Kerry Pulls Gay in Military Literature
SunTimes ^ | Robert Novak

Posted on 08/08/2004 8:29:38 AM PDT by gilliam

John Kerry's official Web site last week deleted his advocacy of homosexuals in the military after the Orlando (Fla.) Sentinel reported on this disclosure of the Democratic presidential candidate's position.

Before the language was eliminated, the Web site said bringing gays into the military was one of Sen. Kerry's ''priorities.'' The page on homosexual issues had gone on to say: ''John Kerry opposed the Clinton administration's Don't Ask Don't Tell Policy. He was one of the few senators to testify before the Senate Armed Services Committee and call on the president to rescind the ban on gay and lesbian service members.''

Kerry does not mention the issue in his speeches, and the party platform is mute on gays in the military.

Why are these polititians afraid to offend anyone except average Americans with tradition values?

Where did they grow up?

I'm deeply saddened at the levels of personal attacks and dirty tricks by Republicans in this campaign, deeply saddened. My name is Tom Daschole and I approve the message in the previous sentence.

Kerry does not mention the issue in his speeches because he is too busy reminding everyone he was in Vietnam.

Never forget that it was William Jefferson Bubba "I-Did-Not-Have-Sex-With-that-Woman-Miss-Lewinsky" Clinton who started this gays in the military crap. Remember also what he said after his first (and only) visit to an aircraft carrier: "I didn't know that they lived so close together".

The ignorance of those who want to lead this country is what is destroying it.

Oh. What a man that John Kerry is.

I mean, only a real man has the character to change their mind like that, and then hide it from the public.

It just shows how he has grown while in office.

Oh, come on. Most gays know which side of the bread is buttered. They'll back Kerry anyway. It's like the feminist lobby. Silent when things get awkward. Highly vocal, otherwise.

Maybe somebody could start a web site containing all the things "pulled" from the Kerry/Edwards web site. Often they can be recovered from the Google cache.

Ha! Another Kerry web page disappearing act.

They probably changed this one the same way they changed Joe Wilson's 'restorehonesty.com'

What's most interesting, to me at least, is how Kerry has to keep revising his versions of the truth and opinion.

This is not looking good for a well-rehearsed candidate for president. Not good at all.

Was Kerry in Vietnam?

He was there long enough to get the 3 & out purple hearts. See this thread and the fact sheet. Something is getting ready to derail the F'ing train.

"Kerry's Purple Heart Lie" FACT SHEET. Simple, consise.
