I agree completely. The Clinton machine destroyed Dean, and they'll do the same to Lurch. Hillary will come out a 'winner' and the presumptive front runner/nominee in 2008.
To: calljack
"Pick a looser,run Hillary as VP. Get some national exposure as a cantidate, lose and come back in 2008 as the frontrunner against a non-incumbent president." I was just thinking about this the other nite...
What case can be made about Hitlery in '08 if she a) ran a full term as Senator while holding a number of high level committee postions and b) runnning on a Presidental ticket. I mean she already ran the White House once, right? She can take credit for all the "good" of the Klintoon years while not having the corrupt baggage of Him....by then, ALL their baggage will be old news. Heck, she polls now as a viable canidate
Also, if W is continually successful at the War on Terror, by '08 the country (and World) will be ready for a woman US president (or pseudo-female at least) who will feel OUR pains again...
GULP, I scare myself to much sometimes...

"The boat's machine gunner hit and wounded the fleeing Viet Cong as he darted behind a hootch. The twin .50s gunner fired at the Viet Cong. He said he "laid 50 rounds" into the hootch before Kerry leaped from the boat and dashed in to administer a "coup de grace" to the wounded Viet Cong. Kerry returned with the B-40 rocket and launcher.
Kerry was given a Silver Star for his actions."
Translation = Commander Kerry siezes credit, War trophies, and medal properly belonging to his subordinate.
Just about exactly what I expected.
A Cub Scout could have 'earned' that Silver Star after the gunner dumped a belt full of .50 into the enemy!

Let us not forget that Bill Clinton was elected to the presidency TWICE even though he's a proven DRAFT DODGER and anti American scum!! What I'm trying to say is: Don't ever underestimate the meanness and ignorance of some Americans. They may give President Bush the boot, which would be the sickest move imaginable, considering all the President has done for our beloved country. I'm concerned.

Does getting three purple hearts mean that he was wounded three separate times in two months? If so, was there no recovery time for wounds? The three "wounds" were basically scratches. It has been reported that he lost only two days of service because of them.
During WWII they talked about the "million dollar wound", i.e. one that would get you back to the U.S.. Kerry's were apparently 99 cent wounds. But he's gotten millions of dollars of media attention for them.

another post shows that the "officer varification" that ws used for the awrd was supplied and supported by one person Jonh Kerry. There was no other proof by an officer that he did what he said.

just think of the novelty to history:
BUSH,CLINTON,CLINTON,BUSH,BUSH,CLINTON?
I imagine (which I do far to much), if this was to happen, she'd only get one term due to a) her inate evileness becomimg exposed while in office or b) the country's demise coming about on her watch, from either a civil war with appropriate UN intervention or the road's end is reached for our fragile "democracy" (i know its a republic democracy, but that would all change under her watch too).....

And exactly what is Terry McAwful's record on Vietnam? I think it would be interesting to find out if he's a draft dodging pig like his buddy the Impeached One.
To: Richard-SIA
3 Purple Hearts - Two scratchs, treated in the field, one shrapnel wound which sidelined him for two days.
Silver Star? Ran ashore and head shot a Viet Cong, putting him down like a dog, after Kerry's 50cal gunner delivered 50 rounds. Is there a medal for a war crime?
3 Purple Hearts quailify for an early trip home, which Kerry pushed for. How convenient.

I bet the Kerry camp wished they didn't.

I can't imagine how many Tivo's Karl Rove must have running to document the dem's stupidity. Every day they say something idiotic, and it will only be replayed from spring till election day and endlessly on the net. Bring it on.

I've seen it mentioned on one thread that Bush's national guard service (active or total?) is just about the total of Kerry's PLUS AlGore's time. I would like to see an actual figure for myself.

I too wondered about those three Purple Hearts. Someone called into C-span a while ago that those three "wounds" didn't shed any blood or require medical hospitalization.
Elsewhere I heard that medals were liberally dispensed in VietNam in an effort to boost morale.

Maybe, but we can counter with real woman, and a real patriot.
Rice/Coulter 08. They have more stones than most of the lib girly-men.

As many have said, a true hero does not constantly talk about him/her-self. That's called boasting where I come from.
