WASH TIMES 2/11 Rep. Sam Johnson, Texas Republican, who spent nearly seven years in a prisoner-of-war camp in Vietnam, said yesterday the photograph of Mr. Kerry with Miss Fonda will hurt him nevertheless. "I think it symbolizes how two-faced he is, talking about his war reputation, which is questionable on the one hand, and then coming out against our veterans who were fighting over there on the other," Mr. Johnson said. Mr. Johnson recalled that his North Vietnamese captors played recordings of Miss Fonda telling U.S. troops to give up the war. "Seeing this picture of Kerry with her at antiwar demonstrations in the United States just makes me want to throw up."

Kerry said that the United Nations should have control over most of our foreign military operations. "I'm an internationalist. I'd like to see our troops dispersed through the world only at the directive of the United Nations."

Kerry has been caught using Canadian telemarkers to call potential voters in Wisconsin.

Funny how he wants to keep jobs at home and then outsources his own campaign work.

This is the number that shows up when one of Kerry's "outsourced" campaign workers calls to ask you to vote for him;

416 214-9514

I just heard this from someone I know in Wisconsin.

In the 1970s when Kerry was active in the Vietnam Veterans Against the War, the Communist Daily Worker published many articles, with photos, detailing his exploits. Kerry's attacks on the US Military and his support of Hanoi drew the attention of the Communist Daily Worker such that Kerry became one of their favorite subjects. The past issues of Communist Daily Worker are available on NEXUS, the companion to the Law Library Internet Service LEXUS. Any lawyer should be able to access the archives of NEXUS, get the 1970 issues of teh Communist Daily Worker and publish here articles which show how strongly the Communist world felt Kerry was on their side in his effort to undermine the US in Vietnam and abandon all his brothers still fighting and dying in Vietnam while he sided with Jane Fonda.

You forgot: consumate hypocrite, pathological opportunist, gold digger, gigolo, elitist, and effeminant.

I discovered in an old New York Times article (on his first wedding), that Kerry had been orator at his 1966 class graduation and that he had spoke out against U.S. foreign policy in that speech. I also discovered through one of the links on the vanity thread that I posted about this speech, that Kerry was supposed to have made an entirely different speech. Just hours prior to giving the speech, he changed the subject matter. The speech he was supposed to give had already been printed up by the school. I checked with the Archives at Yale and they told me they could not find any record of either speech. I find that hard to believe, but I have no other way of pursuing this.

The New York Times article also claims that Kerry told them that he went to Vietnam to study the U.S. policy there first-hand. This leads me to believe that he didn't go because he felt a compulsion to serve, but went to further his political education/beliefs for future use when running for public office.

I hope that John Kerry becomes the next Googlebomb victim for being such a gigolo.

I think there has been an exaggeration," Mr. Kerry said when asked whether President Bush has overstated the threat of terrorism.

Kerry opposed the death penalty until 2002 , voted against military action in the 1991 Persian Gulf war, and voted to freeze defense spending.

Bank records would later show that Kerry's Chinese campaign cash came from $300,000 in overseas wire transfers sent to Chung on orders from the chief of Chinese military intelligence, Newsweek reports.

U.S. Sen. John F. Kerry yesterday said Pope John Paul II ``crossed the line'' by instructing pols to block legalization of gay marriage.
Boston Herald 08/02/03

During the height of the Cold War, Kerry opposed the entire strategic modernization effort proposed by President Reagan — the Peacekeeper, B-1 and B-2 bombers, the Trident submarine and D-5 missile, opposed the non-strategic modernization of the defense budget as well, and the deployment of the INF missiles in Europe.

When he approached his draft board for permission to study for a year in Paris, the draft board refused and Kerry decided to enlist in the Navy.

In short, Kerry became a war hero only because his first choice--to evade enlisting--was denied him. Kerry either needs to stick by his 1992 claim that how people served shouldn't matter, OR he needs to be held accountable both for his own choices prior to enlisting and for his subsequent decisions to give aid and comfort to the enemy upon his return. When Bush's actual record of service is compared to Kerry's full record, most impartial voters will be able to make up their own minds which individual better merits serving as CINC.

Furthermore, by his own admission, he volunteered for swift boats because they patrolled primarily offshore.
