Men like your father are the broad shoulders our country stands on. Kerry doesn't honor himself or our country. He serves no one but himself. He honors nothing.

Figuratively though, Kerry is on the both sides of every fence.

Yes. He has no moral underpinnings or the courage to listen to a moral compass.

No I didn't see it. It sounds like they have Kerry pegged.

...the courage of a leader who knows his own mind and speaks it fearlessly, who doesn't trim with every shifting breeze, who doesn't court unpopularity but isn't afraid of it, either -- has never been a hallmark of Kerry's career.

Kerry's leadership deficient.

The office of the Presidency is WAY over his head and his stature.

I don't think he's qualified for anything.....as is most of the Senate. They're polished pitchmen.

Under fire in Vietnam, Kerry was fearless.

UNless was there the author has no way of knowing this

There were medals and then there were medals given out in Vietnam

Based on creep Kerry's lies before congress and his current actions I am skeptical

The Right is being very careful not to denigrate military service.

He flip-flopping on same-sex marriages
He used obscenity in a magazine geared for America's young people
He sold-out the Vietnam POWS-MIAS
He commented about putting the U.S. military under the direction of the United Nations
He voted for the Iraqi war and subsequent flip-floped.
He has a record as one of the biggest and most reckless spenders in the U.S. Congress
He has been politically corruption – like landing lucrative real-estate deals for family members in Vietnam as a result of his "public policy" efforts

As CO, did Kerry himself write the after-action report that resulted in the Silver Star?

Yes, and he was the only witness to his action.

That is a good article about John 'Gigolo' Kerry.

BTW: A good question is: How can you attack John Kerry's Character, when he doesn't have any?
