Mary Beth,
Didn't you listen to the Press conference?
Apparently you are calling all those Vets liars when they got up and said they have nothing to do with the Bush White House.
Why not release ALL of Kerry's military records as these Veterans have requested?
Ask John Kerry to release them all. The Veterans have asked for the complete record and if he has nothing to hide, he should release them.
Kerry told medical personnel that they were under fire. Fellow crewmen and commanding officer said they had no encounter with the enemy. Wound was superficial, 'cured' with a band-aid.
It is looking more and more like Kerry fabricated his wounds to get an early release back home.
There is a doctor who treated Kerry who is a member of this group. I am 100% confident that if we ever see Kerry's medical records, that man's name will be listed as a treating physician.
"War is hell", but perhaps Kerry didn't serve long enough to know that. Why don't you tell us exactly how long Kerry was a swift boat officer in Vietnam?
ONLY the official military and medical records will tell the whole story.
Can you document your allegations?
Name the group that has "ties" to the White House and to Bush in Texas. Such ties could be anything from being Republicans to residing in the same area code.
After leaving Vietnam, Kerry has consistently opposed the military. Yet, he accuses Bush to have a "continuing disregard" for the American military.
Don't just say "baseless attack" without proving it.
Why doesn't Kerry just respond directly to the facts put out by the Swift Vets?
I guess calling the Veterans alcoholics yesterday didn't work .. today they are now liars.
One phone call to your candidate John Kerry would stop the attacks on these Vietnam veterans and heros.
These are not men who do the bidding of politicians, they are men with backbones, brains and principles.
Are you questioning the patriotism of those who served?
These men should not and will not be denied their say.
Every single one of Kerry's commanding officers coming out and saying he is unfit for office is strong stuff.
Over TWO HUNDRED veterans signatures...and growing. Aren't they entitled to rebuttal?
Instead of blaming Bush and telling him to fix your problems, why don't you or Kerry just confront these Vets who also put their lives on the line to serve this country?
Is it OK for Kerry to organize and exploit the minority of the veterans who served with Kerry and like him? But is it not OK for the majority of veterans from the unit to organize themselves against him?
Kerry lied in 1971 before the commission. Kerry not only needs to apoligize to all Vietnam Vets but he should also resign from the Senate because he obviously lied under oath in 1971.
Perhaps you can explain these differences between Kerry vs. Bush?
Kerry is not decisive. His solution to Iraq is to turn it over to the international community, in particular, the U.N. and NATO. Yet, as NBC's Tim Russert pointed out, NATO has no troops available and the United Nations wants nothing to do with Iraq.
The President "allows" political dissent. If John Kerry were President, would he make a phone call and stop any political dissent that he doesn't like...
Reports show that anti-Bush remarks made by American politicians are being used by foreign diplomats and terrorists alike to weaken American interests. For example, Rebecca MacKinnan, a media fellow at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government, says that the controlled North Korean media puts Kerry "in a positive light." Likewise, Sheik Moqtada al-Sadr has followed suit and cast Iraq into a Vietnam light. Unfortunately for Kerry, they're not voting.
Why doesn't John Kerry set his own example and ask MoveOn.org to cease their attacks or ask the DNC to stop calling Bush AWOL first?
Kerry himself called President Bush AWOL -- not anyone with any ties, Kerry said it himself on the record.
