John McCain dishonored himself when he appeared with John Kerry to denounce the statements of the Vietnam veterans who say John Kerry is unfit to be commander in chief. McCain obviously spoke before he knew the facts.
The Kerry campaign and much of the media went ballistic when a television ad featuring several veterans who oppose Kerry's candidacy was aired by Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. The Kerry campaign immediately launched a campaign to get TV stations to bar the ad, threatening legal repercussions.
The vets for truth are not backing down. The group's attorney, John E. O'Neill, replied with a letter setting forth extensive documentation of the statements made in the advertisement.
Kerry's third Purple Heart, for example, which entitled him to reassignment away from the battlefield, was awarded fraudulently, according to O'Neill's documentation. No one who reads O'Neill's complete document can doubt the authenticity of his evidence. Dozens of outright lies and fabrications from the Kerry campaign are fully documented.
The photograph that John Kerry so blatantly used in his campaign to show his "Band of Brothers" includes only one surviving veteran who supports him. Eleven of the others issued a cease and desist letter demanding that Kerry stop using the photograph.
On May 4, hundreds of Vietnam veterans signed a letter delivered to John Kerry that asked him to unseal his military records so the American people could see for themselves how his record belies his campaign rhetoric.
Were there no other reason to reject John Kerry as president, the testimony of these veterans is sufficient. But there are more reasons, many more.
Kerry's campaign contends George Bush "abandoned our allies" in his "rush" to war. The fact is clear: Our allies abandoned George Bush when he demanded action after the U.N.'s failure to enforce its own resolutions.
His campaign contends that Kerry can woo Germany, France and Russia into supporting our war efforts. The only way this can possibly happen is to give them what they want: control over the United States through the United Nations.
Even though Kerry said during his convention that he would not allow the U.N. to veto U.S. actions, in 1970, he told the Harvard Crimson: "I'd like to see our troops dispersed through the world only at the directive of the United Nations."
It is clear that Kerry's word cannot be trusted – his actions, though, cannot be ignored.
Since immediately after his return from Vietnam, his actions have displayed contempt for the military, which, by virtue of his trumped-up war rhetoric, he now claims the right to command. His voting record in the Senate displays contempt for the CIA, which he now wants to command.
There is yet another reason to reject John Kerry as president of the United States. The next president will almost certainly appoint as many as four Supreme Court justices.
These appointments will influence the direction of America long after John Kerry and George Bush are forgotten. The legacy left in the Supreme Court by the next president will determine whether "under God" remains in the Pledge of Allegiance; whether the Second Amendment stands; whether private property will continue to be private; whether "international law" will influence the court's decisions; in short, whether the U.S. Constitution or the United Nations will define America's sovereignty.
When viewed in this light, it is hard to imagine how anyone could support John Kerry for president. Reality demands awareness that integrity, honesty, even character, no longer matter for nearly half of the electorate. But perhaps more important in the November elections are those who ignore reality. George Bush (41) was denied a second term not by the Democrats, but by conservatives who chose to support Ross Perot as an expression of their unwillingness to continue to vote for the "lesser of two evils." In so doing, America got the worst of the candidates.
Disappointment among conservatives is again putting a Republican presidency in peril. By not voting, "voting your conscience," or not voting for the "lesser of two evils," as perceived by many conservatives, John Kerry could very well be the next president. Reality dictates that the next president will be either a Democrat or a Republican. Despite the efforts of the veterans and the Bush campaign, it is entirely possible that the most conservative of the conservatives will usher John Kerry into the White House – as Perot supporters did for Bill Clinton.

And the Swiftees are NOT going to go away! They have the documentation.If all the Kerry camp is going to do,is send out Clintonista kneepadders and lawyers after them,sometime soon,someone in the MSM is finally going to ask him about it;with force.
If we buy their book,push it #1 or 2,and keep there,Kerry will be forced to say something.Whatever it is,as with the CHRISTMAS IN CAMBODIA thing,it'll be another lie and make him look worse.
Thanks for the ping.Love the Kerry/Queeg thingy. :-)
Ya think? There weren't cartons of eggnog available in the states,in 1968.And yes,I would know. LOL
Since when has the Kerry campaign paid any attention to the details before they lie? :-)
I drank eggnog out of cartons in 1968. Knudsen Creamery in Los Angeles produced it.
Really? They didn't have them on the East Coast.
Never,that I know of.
This election will also decide whether or not we will be facing combat on our soil for the first time. Should Kerry win, we'll see actual armed offensives by foreign soldiers (al Qaida) inside the lower 48.
And if Kerry were to pursue his Communist agenda to its' logical conclusion of turning Amerika into a socialist state, we'll witness a civil war between the right and left. It would be a quick war, considering that the military would be on our side........Granted that would be an expensive way to rid our nation of the cancer which has been growing for over two centuries, but in the long term we would be better off to get it over with. (I'd rather put it off a few more years so that NMD is in place to keep any outside force from capitalizing upon our internal strife.)
Yep. That about sums it up.
Knudsen produced all kinds of stuff back then. They were also producing yogurt.
My Dad worked for Knudsen. He didn't miss a day of work for 20 years until the day I got married. They wouldn't give him the day off, so he called in sick.
I remember it well. It was a damn mess.
Did Knudsen send their products to other places outside of L.A.?
It's an excellent opinion. And this, again, jumps out at me. Maybe it's not popular among certain 'freepers' to say this. But it was McCain WHO POURED dishonor all over himself when he said what he did about those brave and honorable men for wanting to say what they wanted to say, who only wish to serve their country, still. These guys should up for civilian medals, for what they are doing now. McCain? Let him rant against brave men. Let him expose himself for what he really is.
>>Did Knudsen send their products to other places outside of L.A.?<<
I don't know if they shipped out of state back then, but they were one of the largest Creameries in California.
But yes,there WILL be attacks,by al Qaeda on our soil.
Oh,I see.
