[Howlin]

Here we go!

Why would ANYBODY go back and do that?

Isn't that somewhat like asking why a young Arkansas boy would knock others out of the way in order to get his picture taken with John Kennedy? Or, why would a grown married man need to get his rocks off with a fat young intern? Or why would a man wishing to fight for his country bring his x-rays to his induction hearing? Or maybe, why would a Congressman need to hold a contest to get a date?

Democrats are power-hungry, crazy people. I don't try to understand them, I just want them to go away.

C-SPAN 1 has a pentagon briefing on. I'm not able to get 2 to even play anything.

[Pukin Dog]

I have a 56K modem. It is the phone lines in my hotel that suck. I cant get a faster connection on them. Thanks though.

Now, do you know what that page represents, my good man?

[Mo1]

Hmmmm .. I'll have to look into getting me one of those

[MEG33]

There is a difference in being a Senator and being CIC.The one thing they were there for and all agreed on was that Kerry wasn't competent to become CIC.It is on Cspan2 now.

I didn't see the Fox report but had heard about it.

Someone posted more info on the man's side here:

That SwiftBoats.com site I mentioned above is a boat COMPANY and it is wrong. If anyone heard the correct name for their web site I would appreciate it.

I had not read that before - that Bobby Kennedy called Kerry a traitor. Any easy reference? Please don't go to a lot of trouble - I've got my own opinion already. ;-)

[CyberAnt]

Hey fly-boy! I have a question for you .. Kerry has been saying the last couple of speeches that he went up in a jet over Israel, and that the pilot let him take the stick. And .. Kerry claims he flew the plane upside down.

What do you know about Kerry's "flying" ability - if any - in any type of aircraft. And .. without that ability, would any pilot (with a brain) allow an untrained person to "take the stick". I'm sure I already know what your answer is, but I thought you might have some inside info about this latest claim of Kerry's.

Someone keep us posted, My wife has taken over the TV to watch NCIS!

Geeze, silly -- that's what VCR's and the record button is for. Almost every night, I record my favorite news shows while watching NCIS, Third Watch, or whatever. The next morning I get to fast forward through the "Michael Jackson" type sections, but I still get to watch the newsof interest to me.

[old-ager]

You can get the last one on that page for very little. Maybe $20-30. Works great on XP.

[Mo1]

Thats what Robert Kennedy called him.

RFK called Kerry a traitor???

[XBob]

34 - "" In early March, 2004, the Washington Times revealed a statement by former assistant secretary of defense W. Scott Thompson, who recalled a conversation with former chief of naval operations Elmo R. Zumwalt, Jr. Zumwalt, who commanded naval forces in Vietnam, and had personally decorated Kerry, said that Kerry had created "great problems" for him and other Navy brass... "by killing so many non-combatant civilians and going after other non-military targets." The admiral reportedly added, "We had virtually to straitjacket him to keep him under control..."
"

One of Kerry's officer fitness reports for some of his time credits Kerry with '20 undocumented kills'.

[Mo1]

Thanks for the info

[Pukin Dog]

Answered here. Kerry is a rated pilot, and combat aircraft are very easy to fly once airborne. It's all that other stuff you have to do with them that is hard.

Ponder really got to me when I watched before:"Daddy did you take part in the atrocities described in the book?"(Tour of Duty)

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

"Admiral Boorda committed suicide for far less."

[AGreatPer]

Commander Grant Hibbard just said, "I have no idea how or who gave him that Purple Heart". (1st Purple Heart)

That is what we must insist on from Kerry.

Who authorized your First Purple Heart?

That is what my sign said last week when I protest Kerry here locally.
