---It won't matter, unfortunately. We had the goods on Bill Clinton in 1992, big time. He got elected anyway. And re-elected. ---
If you're referring to the "bimbo eruptions" there was a certain plausible deniability to those assertions. There didn't exist the documentation and Clinton wasn't running as a saint anyway. Remember that interview with Hilary and Bill up on stage and Clinton says that he might have met Flowers, but he met a lot of people and Hillary is nodding her head in support. That was good enough for a lot of people at the time barring hard evidence. And to a lot of people Clinton was a charming rascal.
Kerry is not a charming rascal and Vietnam is not Jennifer Flowers.
I also see a second JG on the Grassy Knoll.

names and photog on one listed at these links...
162 - "So he was a JG during the time in question. Those seem like slow promotions to me in wartime."
Army has faster promotions and demotions, particularly in wartime. Navy and AirForce are(were) markedly slower, on both ends. Demotions are uncommon.
Good link. Three of the sailors are the same in the two pics.
That photo should be shown to every kid who wants to get something or other pierced. (Says the husband and father of three piercees. :) )
the globe got this one right ..John Kerry (dead center of course) "poses"

I think that was just a poor choice of words. It probably should have read "replaced with Kerry" rather than "by Kerry".
170 - "I know from some personal experience that record keeping in Nam was not the very best. I would suspect that written records would not hold up in court. My own payroll and leave records were a mess. I never bothered trying to get them straightened out because I was afraid it would delay my separation."
Hear, Hear !!
In the first photo, what the hell is that thing on the back of the guy's head????
It looks like a tumor or a pile of doo doo on the back of his head. Is the photo altered???
definitely a bttt
I would never have thought it was possible for a scam to be so crooked that a barrel of fish hooks looks straight by comparison.
If he's lying about it, it's not bogus. The selection of President is about more than issues. It's about picking someone who can handle the job. Handling the job takes character, and lying, especially a deliberate fabrication, rather than just a throwaway boast in idle conversation, does not indicate the kind of character needed for the job.
So what's bogus is the idea that character doesn't count. That was Slick Willie's line wasn't it?
A constitutional provision no less. Art. 1 Sec 6. end of first paragraph.
Clinton had help from Perot...Bush 41 gets elected otherwise.
Superb research and analysis!
I wonder if the picture is a result of some photoshop work.
I am not expert, but I think it would be worth to have an expert look at it.
1. Kerry is by himself, while the others are close together.
2. Kerry has a shadow on the left, and the left side of his face is darker, as if the sun were shining from the right of the picture, while the rest look, as if they are looking right into the sun. The guy standing between Alston and the guy with the glasses, has almost the same facial pose as Kerry, and both sides of his faces are fully lit, as if he were looking into the sun, while the left side of Kerry's face is in the dark.
As I said, I am not expert, but the picture itself looks suspicious to me.
A constitutional provision no less. Art. 1 Sec 6. end of first paragraph.
Section. 6.
Clause 1: The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States. (See Note 6) They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.
If I read this correctly -- They are not only not required to tell the truth, they are immune from prosecution for lying (except regarding the specific crimes listed).
Name one major news media outlet that is going to report this accurately besides FOX?
As a matter of fact, I challenge anyone to give me a reason why the MSM is going to report on the "Character"
of Kerry!
*L* .. check out Meeks picture in #178
