Kerry's March 13, 1991 speech in "defense" of that vote is
also a classic that needs to be studied by "undecideds".

WOW. Thank you. I couldn't bear to read it all, but I did take a way an impression that is now crystal clear and that I think I KNEW long ago. Kerry most have had his testicles blown off in Vietnam. Ed Koch warns that Kerry has "no stomach" for this war for Western Civilization. But as you read his speech you see that he'll jump through MANY hoops to find a reason not to go to war. He has no guts. And all that is quite apparent now. Unfortunately the Swift Boat ads don't really draw this conclusion...they only make the point that he was virtually a traitor. But that's so extreme that it doesn't have the same effect as a commercial that would examine his first Gulf War vote and these comments on the Senate floor. These make it clear that Kerry left something very significant behind in Vietnam. Call it guts, or call it something even more graphic.
