PAYBACK: NOW GOP WANTS KERRY TO SHOW ALL RECORDS

Drudgereport and Boston Globe ^ | 04-20-2004 | Drudge

[Notwithstanding]

After months of Dems haggling over President Bush's military records, the GOP now moves to demand full-discloser from John Kerry!

The day after Kerry told MEET THE PRESS he would make all of his military records available for inspection at his campaign headquarters, a spokesman said the senator would not release any new documents, leaving undisclosed many of Kerry's evaluations by his Navy commanding officers, some medical records, and possibly other material.

[Notwithstanding]

CONTINUED:

Republican National Committee Chair Ed Gillespie is planning to deliver a speech later today calling on Kerry to make good on his promise to release all his records, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

[The Bush military records commotion intensified earlier this year after DNC Chair Terry McAuliffe challenged Bush to show records after Bush made a similar promise on MEET THE PRESS.]

Coming Gillespie in a speech to be delivered in Ohio:

"John Kerry's pattern of caveats, qualifications, disclaimers, policy reversals and vacillation are not the qualities voters are looking for in times of change that demand steady leadership.

"The Boston Globe reports today that when a reporter went to Kerry's headquarters yesterday to follow up on the pledge Kerry had made on Meet the Press Sunday that he would make all his military records available, 'the campaign staff declined' and said 'the only records available would be those already released to this newspaper.' The campaign is withholding formal evaluations from superior officers and other documents they have yet to release.

"Guess it depends on what your definition of the word 'all' is.

"When President Bush committed to release all his military records on the same program, he kept his word. John Kerry should do the same. Voters aren't stupid, and he shouldn't treat us as if we are."

Developing...

No wonder Kerry is so hard to listen to, with that foot in his mouth it makes it doubly hard.

[shiva]

questions about whether Kerry and his crew took enemy fire, and Hibbard observed that Kerry's wound was minor, resembling a fingernail scrape.

The Mystery is solved. Now we know why Kerry goes around pointing his finger. Look! Look! I was in Vietnam and I scraped my fingernail!

Zing!

[MinuteGal]

Kerry is stepping more and more into it every day, every week. Can Hillary be far behind?

No wonder Her Heinous holed up in the Caribbean for a week with staff, aides and "friends".

The game's afoot.

Let's see now.....

1. Don't get mad, get even...

2. Revenge is a dish best tasted cold.....

Anyone wanna bet that the GOP has more than a leeeetlte ole idea what's in Kerry's records....and kind of expected that this would play out this way...Dems shoot themselves in the foot once again...Remember the Wellstone Memorial service?....One of the greatest political fiascos of all time..

[adam_az]

I have the distinct feeling that the records are ugly and that the Kerry records aren't a tarbaby. Muahahah! Wonder if they confirm his claim of committing war crimes. ;)

[livius]

I agree. The candidate will be Hillary before you know it.

[VRWCmember]

Kerry: "It's none of your business."

[Quilla]

Exactly what I was thinking! Hillary must be jiggling with joy. (pardon the visual)

[Notwithstanding]

John Faux Kerry needs to release a lot more records to clear up his twisted tales.

1. Military Records.
2. Attendance records at hate-group meetings (like the one wherein assasinations were plotted)
3. Grades and GPA at all colleges and grad schools
4. marriage records to prove whether he is actually married in the Catholic Church as he pretends to be
5. Tax records of the ketchup heiress
6. Records top show how he is paying off the $15,000/month mortgage bill on his half of the Boston mansion he mortgaged to fund his campaign.

[1Old Pro]

Yep, stay on the offense.

[hchutch]

Fiasco for whom? It worked out quite nicely for the GOP and the country...

[Pikamax]

this better be more than a one day flurry by the GOP, constant attacks till kerry gives.

[veronica]

I want to see Terezzzza's tax returns. How much income tax did the billionairess pay???

[truthandlife]

This is great!! Brilliant political manuevering by Bush and the Republicans. Kerry keeps losing credibility every day.

[ex-Texan]

F'JohnF'nKerry! He will be exposed as a more of liar and fabricator than even Bubba Clinton.

[BluH2o]

John Kerry should do the same. Voters aren't stupid, and he shouldn't treat us as if we are.

Kerry is a liberal democ"Rat" ... not only that, he's arrogant and condescending. The electorate will decide his fate in November ... and as more revelations are forthcoming, and they will, in spite of Kerry's effort to stone wall ... he will lose. Big time.
