You know Kerry's in trouble when he's got Deanie boy slinging mud for him.

Howard Dean, Kerry's former rival, said he agreed with Kerry's decision not to name the leaders and that it was "silly" for the Bush administration to suggest he reveal them, "given the proclivity of this administration to threaten those both home and abroad who are candid."

"If I were Senator Kerry I wouldn't name those names because this administration would clearly make their lives difficult," said Dean, a former governor of Vermont.

BTW, so much for the Boston Globe reporter's pathetic attempt to help Kerry end this business. Everybody acknowledges (unless MSNBC still doesn't get it) that Kerry is claiming he's heard from foreign leaders, not "more" leaders.

This combat veteran wants Kerry to release his military medical records.

Three purple hearts in four months?

Bandaid Purple hearts? Who commandated him?

A silver star for violating all naval rules of engagement to get a war trophy??? Exposing his charges to hazards when he grounded his boat to get "the prize"? Commanders don't leave their post for such action...they send their enlisted to do that.

How many enemy have you seen survive a 50 round burst of .50 cal bmg?

Something smells here...and it ain't the truth!

Idaho on vacation?I retired in Idaho at Mt Home AFB in 1992 and if that state has not changed they won't like this piece of trash too much.Idaho is a great state,hope to return one day.

[armymarinedad]

Does this mean he won't be getting your vote?LOL

[tet68]

One wonders, what medals do his former crewmembers have?

[Michael121]

Hey did ya know Kerry is a Viet Nam Vet?

Kerry Lie, come one.... tell me another. I have never heard Kerry lie once, I have heard him lie all the time.

I have a Purple Heart. I never said I had a Purple Heart.

I was a commander. I never said I was a commander.

Damn, now he's got Me doing it.......

(got some un-powdered .50's... on a buffer a little Canooba Wax, they get all shiny)

[SAMWolf]

I'm more curious as to who's paying their expenses as they follow Kerry around on his campaign and if there's a new ketchup red Ferrari in each of their garages.

[Swede Girl]

I do believe that I loathe this creep as much as I loathed and will continue to loathe Clinton.

Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry promised to be a "veteran's veteran" Tuesday...

I've said it before: This POS does not speak for me or to me.

I consider him to be a traitor and a turncoat.

I do not honor him for his service, as he absolutely dishonored himself by his own actions and words.

The man is despicable, he is a gigolo and he is a slacker, not even being able to maintain a decent attendance record at his current job.

He is representative of everything that is wrong with the democRATic party and is the poster boy of goofy, lying liberals.

He can take his VN service and shove it up his fifth point of contact. It cuts no ice with me, whatsoever.

[vpintheak]

I don't think so, Johnny. I have more patriotism in my pinky toe than you have in your whole botox and communist infested body.

Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry promised to be a "veteran's veteran"

More likely a pri-k's pri-ck!

[VadeRetro]

Veteran's veteran, my butt! From Dartmouth Online:

He also criticized Nixon for trying to request the return of prisoners of war before the war ended.

In '72 speech, a different kind of Kerry.

I want to see how that plays in veteran's groups!

Please please please, everyone - read this article from the LEFT-WING Village Voice, and then write letters to your local newspapers, talk to all the veterans you know and spread the word: John Kerry betrayed POWS.

Senator Covered Up Evidence of P.O.W.'s Left Behind - When John Kerry's Courage Went M.I.A.:

Senator John Kerry, a decorated battle veteran, was courageous as a navy lieutenant in the Vietnam War. But he was not so courageous more than two decades later, when he covered up voluminous evidence that a significant number of live American prisoners—perhaps hundreds—were never acknowledged or returned after the war-ending treaty was signed in January 1973.

The Massachusetts senator, now seeking the presidency, carried out this subterfuge a little over a decade ago — shredding documents, suppressing testimony, and sanitizing the committee's final report—when he was chairman of the Senate Select Committee on P.O.W./ M.I.A. Affairs.

Over the years, an abundance of evidence had come to light that the North Vietnamese, while returning 591 U.S. prisoners of war after the treaty signing, had held back many others as future bargaining chips for the $4 billion or more in war reparations that the Nixon administration had pledged. Hanoi didn't trust Washington to fulfill its pro-mise without pressure. Similarly, Washington didn't trust Hanoi to return all the prisoners and carry out all the treaty provisions. The mistrust on both sides was merited. Hanoi held back prisoners and the U.S. provided no reconstruction funds. ...

Dovetails with something I saw last night. Back in 1972, Kerry criticized Nixon for seeking an early return of POWs (that is, before the end of the war).

[DirtyDoc]

You have it wrong. An A$$hole is a functioning part of the body, Kerry is not part of the Veterans. DD
