Here's the letter I use:

"Just something about John Kerry that's fairly well-known but hasn't been getting much play in the "mainstream" media:

Senator and ketchup millionaire John Kerry's political m.o. has been to attack his opponents as un-American
and unpatriotic while portraying himself as some kind of war hero. Just this year, he's pulled this with Dean,
Edwards, tried it with Clark, and now he's trying it with the president.

What Kerry should be concentrating on and telling us is where he stands on the real issues and what his plans
would be if elected. But he's got nothing.

So now it's time for Senator Kerry to come clean and tell us:
- Why he voted for the war and then withheld his support for the troops in the appropriations bill.
- If he pulled strings to swing getting an early discharge from the military.
- Why he actively demonstrated against the government while still a military officer.
- Just whose medals did he throw away and why he now presents himself as a hero proudly displaying
those medals in his office; what does he think the reaction of our veterans would be if he pulled a stunt like
that today?
- Why he wrote, in "The New Soldier", that the average American in Vietnam was guilty of war crimes
and why does he mock WWII vets on the book's cover.
- If he actually witnessed these war crimes taking place, why didn't he report them to his superiors instead
of waiting a year and then making a spectacle of himself in front of congress and the world press.

At the very least, Kerry owes his fellow veterans an apology for his part in the "anti-war" (meaning anti-American) protests in the early 70s. It also wouldn't hurt for Kerry to apologize to the president for questioning his military
service.

So, c'mon, Mr. Kerry: step up to the plate and show us what you have!

But, somehow, I don't believe that Kerry is man enough to answer the challenge.

John Kerry may well have shown physical courage in combat some 35 years ago but has been nothing but a
shameless opportunist ever since."

Constructive criticism is, by all means, welcome.

EXCELLENT! A keeper!

John Kerry may well have shown physical courage in combat some 35 years ago but has been nothing but a shameless opportunist ever since."

I hear the Silver star was for running down an unarmed, wounded gook (wounded by someone else), taking him behind a bush and killing him.

Kerry confessed to committing war crimes. He did that in his congressional testimony and at his rallies. That is the question that should be pursued. Either he's a war criminal or he's a liar. If he's what he's said he is, he should be brought to account. If he isn't, then he's a liar and the voters should know about that.
