This is where Kerry has to go....to retract his lies about the men who died fighting the war he escaped...

I concur!
But I won't be holding my breath waiting for it to happen!

"No repeats of 2000."

It WAS awful. But in a lot of ways it was sooooo much fun for me. Especially at work. I work at a very political NJ law firm; pretty much split 50/50 dem/repub. Since it is established that I listen to talk radio all day long, my office became pretty much ground zero during those weeks. We had some great discussions and debates, it was nice to see the constitution really living, politics being really important to people.

The next year was a major bummer. Not only did my firm back the wrong horse in the municipal election, but then our "key man" partner died, and then 9/11, and some of our folks lost friends and family. We certainly still haven't recovered from all that.

So, no, I don't wish for a repeat of 2000. It better not even be close, or this country's got it's head way too far up it's youknowwhat, but I will always remember the Floriduh fiasco fondly. And, hey! That's when I really found FR, and even went to some great pro-Bush rallies. Remember "Sore Loserman"? That was BRILLIANT!

Dreamer!

But right on...
Semper Fi

Never mind the characterization of his worda as being "over the top". He still claims that they were "honest"

Quaere:
Did he or did he not, on oath, accuse himself and others of crimes against humanity, specifically breaches of the Geneva Convention.

If he did sp claim and his words were true, in my jurisdiction that would be grounds for a court martial. If his words were false, that would be perjury.

In any event, I remember those times and his words were definitely aid and comfort to the enemy, the United States then being in a state of belligerancy.

A nice set of hypotheticals to put to a first year class in military law at West Point.

[Interesting Times]

Senator Kerry is finding it difficult to effectively spin the fact that he accused American troops of genocide; not once, but many times, over a period of nearly two years.

A better interviewer than Russert would have asked Kerry whether he regrets his role in the real Southeast Asia genocide -- the one that happened after America went home.

[F.J. Mitchell]

Might as well dream big.

[Atchafalaya]

I would not be surprised in the least if this does not occur; remember he is a consumate opportunist that has focused his whole life for this oppertunity. Do you honestly think that he wouldn't dishoner the honered if he thought he could gain from it? I know where to bet my last dollar; John just be John!!

[river rat]

I read it.....
It's a non-apology attempted retraction..

Just more Kerry bull$hit.
He's such a punk.....a "Silver Star" punk...
He's still got that silver turd in his mouth...

(I have to be careful on these Kerry posts.....I'm already on probation for profanity -- but it's hard to discuss Kerry without *&^*&%&(**&^&&)

Russert was trying to air brush Kerry's warts and wrinkles away, like a playboy centerfold model photo is prepared. The last thing he wanted was to expose Senator lap poodle's fleas, ticks and mange.

"Let's pray for another 30 years of Republican control."



I vote "leadership". Republicans don't control. They lead.

[kayak]

Maybe we should start calling him Pretzel Boy because he sure does wrap himself up inside of himself trying not to say what he really said and then making sure that no one thinks he said what he really said instead of what he meant to say when he was trying not to say anything of substance.

Kerry Transcript. Here it is.

If Kerry shows up at the "Wall" he will be about as welcome as a ham hock at a bar mitzvah. LOL
And we Viet Nam vets will make sure of that!

The folks in Massachusetts and the Boston Globe may have forgotten his treasonous speech and antiwar demonstrations but we haven't...not for one second!


The communists' "Useful Idiots" like Kerry and Fonda that thought their antiwar demonstrations helped end the war and saved lives couldn't be more mistaken.
It has been documented that the antiwar demonstrations were used as communist propaganda for the NVA & the VC and against the American POW'S. And that's the bottom line!

What I dont understand is why when he ADMITTED COMMITTING ATROCITIES no one said "Oh really- what exactly did you do?"



Can you see a Republican EVER getting away with this CRAP?

wrong link

I've already posted it on #45 response

[highlander_UW]

Old flip flop strikes again..."I committed atrocities, until I decided that I hadn't."

Maybe Kerry means he did commit atrocities, but the rest of the vets did not. Either way, he belong in prison, if not for this then for his conspiracy to commit murder in participating in a vote to assassinate senators.
