Thanks MistyCA for the heads up!
Thanks for the great testimony
Kennedys create money machines for themselves by starting some charity or another and stealing from them...er, I mean...getting paid for running the charity.
Thank you. Bookmarked.
It keeps on coming and it sickens me to think he could even be allowed to run for office, much less get elected.
Kerry hates the military.
I think it is because he sees our military might as a threat to world peace.
I think it is because he believe a one world government to be the respectable outcome of a empowered U.N. over U.S affairs.
I think it is because he was given a lesser than honorable discharge and has been covering this up ever since.
This man may be the most dangerous SOB since Kennedy.
More dirt on a man that never should have been a Senator and cannot be elected President!!!
I have to think about Fred McMurray, the man on my POW bracelet...I wonder how he would feel about John Kerry being president. I know the thought makes me ill.
Read Fred's story at: http://moonpie.home.att.net/fred.htm . He was never accounted for. Searches were made for him or his body, to no avail. For all any of us know he could STILL be alive. It's a known fact that POW's of past wars were taken to Russia and probably other places. In fact I read awhile back about a man from WWII, I believe, that was taken to Russia and made to work in factories there. He was never allowed to leave and eventually married and had a family. Years later he was allowed to return to his country of origin, and saw his original family. We have no idea what could have happened to our POW's. And to have this man that sold out our soldiers and our POW's as president is just unthinkable.
Blocked the vote on the Vietnam Human Rights Act in the Senate in 2001, which tied U.S. aid to Vietnam's human rights performance, and had passed by a 410-1 margin in the House of Representatives. Kerry, chairman of the Senate's East Asian and Pacific Affairs subcommittee, said in a statement at the time that he and fellow Vietnam War veteran Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) "are concerned that denying aid to Vietnam would actually slow human rights improvements." Many Vietnamese living abroad, along with human rights campaigners, say conditions in Vietnam have deteriorated in the three years since Kerry blocked the legislation.Persuaded the MIA/POW Senate committee to vote unanimously that no POWs existed in Vietnam in order to open up trade with Vietnam (his cousin C. Stewart Forbes, CEO of Colliers Intl, received a contract for a huge commercial deal worth at least $905 million to develop a deep-sea commercial port at Vung Tau).

Kerry has a penchant for leaving vets behind: Rassman was lucky but then, he served a purpose (in Kerry's ambitions). Thanks Tonk!
Ping.
bump!!!
Given this information, it's really hard for me to understand Sen. McCain ... he has to know what the unaccounted for suffered, and suffered more than the POW's who made it home, how their families suffer to this day. HOW can he defend and give ammunition to Kerry? I can't figure it out.
The IC has infiltrated the DNC and a little of the RNC we Amercians still have control of the Republican party! I will share a little of the family history of Kerry on the FORBES side!
This article is about the Forbes family related to US Senator John Kerry. For information about the Forbes family associated with Forbes magazine, see Forbes Several of the Forbes family cashed out of their dealings in China after the Opium War, and reinvested in Europe and the United States. Some of the population growth of Chicago and Midwestern Plains states in the middle to late 19th century was due to John Murray Forbes' railroad projects in Michigan and Chicago. The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad Co., from Chicago west to the Pacific was built by John Murray Forbes who had perhaps a reputation for sound financial management amongst the railroad tycoons of the day.
In 1879, William Forbes, son of John Murray Forbes, risked the fortune to financially back Alexander Graham Bell's telephone company, and become president of the company, a risk which paid off. Cameron Forbes used his wealth to become Governor General of the Philippines.
His niece "Ruth Forbes Paine Young" tapped her Forbes family inheritance to finance the International Peace Academy.
Her husband invented the Bell Helicopter used in the Korean and Vietnam Wars.
In a tiny footnote to history, Ruth Forbes Paine Young's son, Michael R. Paine, and his wife Ruth Paine, allowed Maria Oswald, the wife of Lee Harvey Oswald, to live in their house as a family friend, and Oswald's rifle was stored for a time in the Paine's family garage.
Many Forbes family members purchased estates in France and Massachusetts, and generally remain influential there, in local or national politics.
John Forbes Kerry is a U.S. Senator and currently a candidate for President of the U.S. Though he is a beneficiary of several Forbes family trusts (c. 2002), Kerry has not worked in the private sector for Forbes family business interests and has devoted his life to a career in public service. Kerry's first cousin and friend, Brice Lalonde, an environmentalist activist, is a French Green party politician who was a candidate for President of France in 1981 and currently mayor of Saint-Briac-sur-Mer near the Forbes family estate.

I'm not surprised at any of this. The corruption of those
on the political left is boundless but believable.
Kerry is like most Democrats, talking is the most work they ever do!!
which is one reason (that and botox) he looks so "rested" at the debates....he CALLS OFF WORK EVERY DAY, unlike the rest of us! the cowboy does his job AND campaigns..
Bump!

QUESTION: This is really hard to digest.
Why wouldn't those 12,500 families as a group demand that this story be told and force the issue to be heard and obtain their closure.
Is it so different from those 9/11 wives?
What authority level in this Joint Commission did Kerry hold?
ANSWER: The families are not all in one group. There are many different organizations that we dealt with. Some of the larger groups did protest, but no one knew what really happened. We were not at liberty to discuss the issue at the time.
Some of the groups protested to Clinton -- but you know that fell on deaf ears. And, we never got the list to verify the names. We had no clue which families had been affected.
If you will recall, Kerry was the Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA. There were ugly rumors that he destroyed documents which was against our mandate -- all our documentation was to be made public as much as possible.
This all came about when President Yeltsin approached Bush Sr and said we should work together to bring a full accounting of the wars past. Yeltsin gave Bush the black box for the Korean airliner that the Russians shot down as a goodwill gesture. Then he testified in front of Congress that a good possibility still existed that live American POWs were being held in Russia. That is when a Presidential Commission was formed and two Senators (Republican/Democrat), two Congressmen (Republican/Democrat), and various officials of the STATE Department, DOD, CIA and the National Archives were appointed to Commissioners of this Commission. The Russians reciprocated with Russian Generals from all their services to work jointly on these issues. The Commission still exists today. Shortly after Clinton took office, our Commission was reaffirmed to continue the Presidential work and Kerry was the senior Commissioner due to his party's being in control of the Executive Branch. The Commission was headed by Ambassador Malcolm Toon. All the Commissioners were to report to him, and he in turn would report to the President. This worked under Bush Sr, but failed miserably under President Clinton.
President Bush made accounting of POW/MIAs the Nation's Highest Priority. Yet, Clinton downgraded that to "One of the Nation's Highest Priorities". Environmental issues were placed in a higher priority.
I could go on and on but hopefully this gives you some insight as to how this came about.

Working with Senator Kerry four years in the POW/MIA Office left me thinking -- when did the man ever do any work?
...
The question asked should not be "when the man ever did any work" (although he has got to be one of the laziest people around) but why he is even in any public office, feeding off the taxpayer trough?
Kerry should be in jail, not running for President.
Have we ever - aside from bill clinton - ever had such a disgraceful traitor run for President?
