Stint in Vietnam may backfire - Kerry's military heroics, anti-war stance later may not play well

WASHINGTON -- As John Kerry campaigns for the Democratic presidential nomination, he is stressing his military record as no candidate of his party has done since John F. Kennedy made his PT-109 a household name in 1960.

Kerry also is contrasting his own service, as a Navy swift-boat commander who received three Purple Hearts and a Silver Star, with that of President Bush, who did his Vietnam War-era service in the Texas Air National Guard.

FOFLOL! TOO FUNNY.

[Mo1]

but he's also got a 20-year record of voting in the Senate that he's going to have to defend."

BINGO .. he'll never be able to defend it .. and that "protest" vote against President Bush .. he can call it anything he wants .. the bottom line is .. he voted against giving money to support the troops.

Right you are, Mo. Kerry deserves everything that's coming his way. Read "document drop." Big time.

Did John Kerry serve in Vietnam?

Look at those names good, Kerry. Some are there because of you.

Jeff Jacoby: Kerry's lack of political courage*** The search engine on Kerry's campaign website lists 167 pages on which "courage" appears. When he formally announced his candidacy at Faneuil Hall last September, he uttered the words "courage" or "courageous" 19 times ("courageous Americans always rise to the occasion . . . the courage of our people to change what is wrong . . . we must have the courage to stand up . . . the courage of Americans can change this country"). The sign behind him read: "The courage to do what's right for America." When he took his announcement speech on the road, the trip was billed as the "American Courage Tour."***

Sayin' and doin' is two different things with (most) Democrats.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

The lie is all they have. Well, you can add half-truths and omission, but it all boils down to twisting and deceiving. If people really knew what LIBERALS believed, these snake-oil salesmen would be gone from the stage.

[#3Fan]

Yeah, that's why they're always for the dumbing down of society. The dumber the society, the more votes they get. :^)

"Rand Beers, Kerry's foreign policy adviser, stressed different aspects of Kerry's career. During his 20 years in the Senate, Kerry has supported numerous weapons systems and has favored the use of force many times, including in Bosnia, Kosovo, Panama, Haiti and Grenada, Beers told the forum."

These bottom feeders will never stop the lies.

This from the Boston Globe

John Kerry ....... "The invasion of Grenada represents the Reagan policy of substituting public relations for diplomatic relations . . . no substantial threat to US interests existed and American lives were not endangered . . . The invasion represented a bully's show of force against a weak Third World nation. The invasion only served to heighten world tensions and further strain brittle US/Soviet and North/South relations."

Anyone who votes for these liars is my enemy and the enemy of my contry.

From what i have seen around the net, kerry was somewhat of a loose cannon before his command, blasting up civilians, women and babies by his on admission, and then, how the hell does a guy rack up 5 medals in 4 months and writing himself up for them to boot? I think he wanted out fast, knew the rules and got out of there, a coward! After that, we know the story, The bugger.
He's a snake alright. Needs chopping up. Anti American is what his actions have shown.

Everything Hanoi John does has allready backfired on him in my mind.
