RICHMOND, Va.

John Kerry, a decorated Vietnam veteran

Did you all know that?

[BulletBobCo]

And what did Bubba do during the Vietnam War?

""Just because you get an honorable discharge does not in fact answer that question," the Massachusetts senator said."

Er, I think it does. That dead horse is going to start to stink a lot over time, Sen. Kerry. But you keep on a-ridin' it, be my guest!

[Frank_Discussion]

He inhaled?

LOL. Purple Heart is a badge of incompetence. His other medals are situational dependent - meaning that if you suck up to higher and they notice you, they'll put you in for whatever brave act you commited that day - Marines do this ona day to day basis and no one gets a medal for it b/c no one is around to verify it.

I'd like to see some interviews with Guard troops pulling patrol in Iraq. Ask them what they think of Kerry's remarks. You just know that if the tbales were reversed (Bush attacking Kerry's Guard record) the media would already have done so.

"Just because you get an honorable discharge does not in fact answer that question," the Massachusetts senator said.

And just because Kerry got medals doesn't mean he earned them....

[boxerblues]

that picture is going to haunt him for a very long time

[BulletBobCo]

My, but that buck tooth beaver looking guy behind Jane Fonda sure does look alot like our hero.

Which side ?

[MarkT]

Is this the same John Kerry who, upon hearing Bill Clinton described as a draft dodger by then-candidate, Bob Kerrey, said that military service in the Vietnam era should not be used as a devisive issue or a qualification for the office of President? Why does not his defense of Clinton with that line be quoted back to him in his hypocritical and duplicitous attacks, well-worn that may be, on Bush?

[BulletBobCo]

The left side.

PH is a badge of incompetence? Take a walk through ward 57 at WRMC sometime and try to get away with that truly idiotic statement.

Can anyone please tell me exactly when and why Foxnews became Reuters? This is a hit piece fawning over Kerry, with scarce rebuttal from the Bush side. It drips with editorial comment. I've noticed this has been the case w/Fox since the emergence of Kerry. Any insight on this?

And what did Bubba do during the Vietnam War?

Being asked to leave Oxford because he raped a women and in Russia protesting against the boys fighting in Vietnam???

[BulletBobCo]

To get us fire up.

[KevinDavis]

My dad served in the National Guard and left a year before his unit was called up to go to Vietnam.

PH is a badge of incompetence? Take a walk through ward 57 at WRMC sometime and try to get away with that truly idiotic statement. Having served in Somolia & Iraq, I stand by my statement. Appeals to pity don't wash with me. Take a look at the crew Jessica Lynch was running with - sad indeed - but to a man, almost every weapon jammed or misfired. Anyone with comabt experience knows what that means - slackers were not keeping their weapons PMed. For the record, I have a Purple Heart. I took shrapnel in the chest for doing something incompetent :)

"This is the biggest say-anything-do-another administration that I've ever seen in all the time I've been in public life," the senator said.

If this is Kerry's idea of a catchy sound bite, we have nothing to worry about.
