February 10, 2004 -- Democratic front-runner John Kerry yesterday escalated his attacks on President Bush's Vietnam-era military record and suggested Bush isn't fit to be a wartime commander in chief because he never served in battle overseas. "I remember what it was like to carry an M-16 in another country thousands of miles away and to not be able to tell the difference between who was trying to kill me and who wasn't, who was my friend and who was my foe," Kerry said.

His only response when it is brought up will be that "the Bush campaign is questioning my patriotism"

Well Johnny boy - I for one do question your patriotism and I'll shout it loud and clear. In fact, I question all the slimey RAT'S patriotism. America is at WAR and you are directly giving aid to our enemy by trying to divide our country. Every rant, every lie you utter only gives them courage in their quest to kill Americans - here and abroad. If you can't see that you're stupid AND a traitor. You are willing and even eager to get more Americans killed just so you can sit in the WH.

Do you think there is any possibility that Dean will run as a third-party candidate?

No, Dean would be committing career suicide if he did that. As it stands now, he can still go back to Vermont and run for the senate when either Jeffords or Leahy retire. He could also be in line for an administration post like Surgeon General if joins the "team".

On the other hand, Dean has acted a bit crazy at times, so maybe I am foolish to expect him to behave rationally...

I think Dean's pretty much come out and said he'd suport the Democratic nominee for President and wouldn't run as a third-party.

But... yaaargghh!!! he's not exactly the most stable of the six dims left...

I wonder if the Viet Nam vets who are now rallying to his cause know this? Is his friendship determined by political wind as has happened for most of his life?

When he returned from Viet Nam, he used a broad brush to paint the members of our military, who were still in Viet Nam, as rapists and murderers. The Manchurian Candidate had returned!

Don't forget Wisconson. Bush barely lost Wisconson. Matter of fact there should have been a recount.

How can DEAN, who has successfully committed political suicide, agree to do it again?

Trading votes for cigs seemed to work wonders for the Dims in Milwaukee in 2000.

As long as status quo remains, historical trends suggest a Bush reelection. These early polls are garbage. It's like claiming your football team has won after being the only team that ran an offensive play, kicking a FG to go up 3-0, with 10:00 remaining in the first quarter.

Probably more than career suicide. Probably literal suicide.

Kattracks this is double post but I would like to get my message out hope it is alright.
Kerry will not get away with his Past Behavior. There is much more to Kerry then throwing somebody else’s Medals over the Fence. John Kerry has to answer to the Facts about his Vietnam War Protesting Days. He has to explain why he was in a Group that was funded by Communist, Why he was walking side by side with Communists Protesting the Nam War while Brave Troops were still there Dying? John Kerry has to explain his position on the World Court. Does he support the USA signing on to the World Court? If so, does he support our Troops being subject to the World Court for doing their Duty as American Soldiers?
Shaun Hannity asks if Kerry will continue to fight the War on Terrorism as President Bush is doing. I add will Kerry sell out Our Great Country to the UN? Will Kerry continue to repeat his statement that Terrorist Threats are Exaggerated? Will Kerry continue to build up our Military so we the people can be Protected? Will Kerry be another Appeaser like Bill Clinton?
It is my Thinking the Veterans Against John Kerry will get their information Promulgated Nationwide soon as possible and their information is need to know information for every voter. Soon after Kerry is Nominated by the Leftwing Democrats I expect to see on the news the Veterans Against John Kerry stating the facts on John F. Kerry the War Hero, {Pardon me, John Kerry the Communist Sympathizer.)

It seems impossible to get the message out, though, when the liberal media refuses to report it. I know we have Rush and Hannity and Fox News but we need to reach the Independents and I think they watch the liberal main stream shows. With Rush and the rest, its kind of like preaching to the chior. I guess we need to make so much noise that the liberal media can't ignore us anymore.

The lack of moral clarity on the left never ceases to amaze me. They are so into revisionism that they seem to think 9/11 is an over exaggerated myth already.

"I learned about a lot of questions a president ought to ask before you send young people into harm's way,"

Apparently, Kerry just learned this since he authorized the use of force under Cliinton AND Bush. Here's a newsflash, John F'n Kerry, you can try and hide your congressional voting record, but it WILL catch up with you.
