Bingo, MindyW, that was just the ticket. Many thanks!
4 Months.
I know people that spent that much time in the chow lines in Vietnam.
When the White House has begun airing their TV commercials to re-elect the president, John Kerry's campaign condemed his use of 9/11 in the ads. He said it is "unconscionable to use the tragic memory of a war in order
to get elected", unless of course, it's the Vietnam War
September 11 was not just that - a direct attack on the United States?
Kerry the bogus Viet Nam bandaid hero, is relieing on the "peace-nicks" of that era to come to his mendacious clarion call once again. Socialism in America apparently is stronger than we suspect as Kerry is a Socialist and so are most Democrats - they are not liberals - they are Socialists i.e.:
Pronunciation:... 'sO-sh&-"li-z&m
Function: noun
1 : any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods
2 a : a system of society or group living in which there is no private property b : a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state
3 : a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done
SOCIALISM
A. PUBLIC OWNERSHIP B. LABOR UNIONS
C. GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION
B. VIOLENT REVOLUTION
-FROM EACH ACCORDING TO HIS ABILITY, TO EACH ACCORDING TO HIS NEED
What Johnf***ing Kerry won't tell you about is that he will not longer let the Constitution of the United States hinder his mad dash for Socialism, the United Nations and his loyalty to all Communist/Marxist nations. America as a Republic is not in his play book. He will not tell you these things until after he is elected - gawd forbid! Mrs. Clinton and her Third Way is waiting to see just how far Americans will go for a real Socialist America before throwing her hat in the ring. Her politics are a mirror of John Kerry's, Ted Kennedy and Nancy Pelosi.
GEORGE W. BUSH FOR AMERICA IN 2004 - 2008!!
"The Peoples' Rebpublic of Viet Nam awarded Kerry three Purple Stars of the Peoples' Work, a palm leaf cluster, three Hero of the Peoples' Republic medals (one, first class), and made him a Colonel in the Peoples' Ministry of Propanganda"
Are you joking or are you serious??? "
I'm dead serious!! It is ALL in the documentary!!!
All I know is that if shooting villagers livestock and pets, burning down their homes and shooting at civillians makes one a better CIC, then Kerry is the man.
It's almost as if he did those things to get the Vietnamese to hate Americans.
Never thought of that. Interesting idea.
I got this list from Freeper 'wideawake' yesterday. All the dates seem to match various released documents found on various sites on the net, I'll post a link to one such site I visited yesterday as soon as I can find it again...

I don't know why people say "I could care less" in trying to say they don't give a flip.....don't they realize that what they are saying is they aren't at the lowest level of apathy possible?....the very opposite of what they are really trying to say.
It is weird.
(another one of my faves) :-)
Thank you, from a fellow stickler. I'm also annoyed at interchanging "comprises" and "composed".
