Thought Y'all Might Look At This PING!
Read past the numbers...
I am not sure why the media doesn't believe this. Kerry himself has admitted committing atrocities during the war. Why doesn't the media ask Kerry about what those were. Certainly Bush would not be given a free pass. When dirt against Bush is found, the media investigates the dirt, not the source of the dirt.
It isn't known as See-BS for nothing.

Am I the only one who sees the insanity of the line about non veterans supporting Kerry by 51% to 41%?
Gang, lets do the math. This is a very polarizing election. Lets say that because of this, 120 million people will vote. Even during WW II we only had 12 million men and women in uniform and we had 140 million people. So, even then, that was less than 10% and the ratio of vets to non vets was 1:11.6
Today we have ( and lets be very generous maybe 3 million living vets) This means that the ratio of vets to non vets
who will be voting is now 1:40. So there will be 117 million non vets voting. If Kerry already has 51% of this number, that's 59.6 million votes. I think it is insane to say Kerry will start out with almost 60 million votes!
Doesn't anyone who writes these releases talk them through out loud? Even if every single vet voted for Bush he would still be out of the race right now and that is far from the case.
"My name is Steve Gardner. I served in 1966 and 1967 on my first tour of duty in Vietnam on Swift boats, and I did my second tour in '68 and '69, involved with John Kerry in the last 2 1/2 months of my tour. The John Kerry that I know is not the John Kerry that everybody else is portraying. I served alongside him and behind him, five feet away from him in a gun tub, and watched as he made indecisive moves with our boat, put our boats in jeopardy, put our crews in jeopardy... if a man like that can't handle that 6-man crew boat, how can you expect him to be our Commander-in-Chief?"

Searching through that web site, you will find 250 men who served on Swift boats, including the entire chain of command above Lt. Kerry, agree with Steven Gardner that Kerry is not fit to be Commander-in-Chief. That compares to the 13 crew members who support his candidacy.
All I want to know is, who are the 35% of veterans who are supporting a lying traitor???
