let's face it. no media will ever really pick up on the story of Kerry's (mis)deeds
ping!
At the time, Kerry was serving as the point man for the Vietnam Veterans Against the War. The president of the organization was Al Hubbard, who claimed to be an Air Force captain who was severely injured during his service in Vietnam. It turned out Hubbard was a sergeant who never served in Vietnam. He did, however, as Kerry knew, serve the communist cause with great enthusiasm and distinction making propaganda trips to Hanoi paid for by the Communist Party USA.
Kerry didn't distance himself from Hubbard even when the lies were uncovered. In fact, he rationalized them. Kerry didn't distance himself from Hubbard when he became aware, as an executive committee member of VVAW, that its actions were being coordinated and sponsored, in part, by the communists.
Furthermore, Kerry himself made two trips to Paris to meet with representatives of the enemy. If we're to believe Kerry's war experience somehow distinguishes him for consideration to be the next president, if we're to believe that record of achievement is so distinguished, if we're to believe the portrait painted at the convention is true, why would Kerry hesitate for even a moment to release his service records, to release his medical records and even his own journal and films from Vietnam for public inspection?
I understand the reaction...I haven't read the book, did not serve, but the Winter Soldier site and reactions of vets on here effect me deeply , afraid of his winning this election.
I despise Kerry's harm to his comrades in arms, his hypocrisy, his world view,his record in the Senate..I pray the voters are wise in their choice in November..I pray for my country.
BUSH/CHENEY 04....FOR THE SAKE OF OUR NATION
BTTT.
My son told me that the Las Vegas money has Kerry winning.
Can this possibly be accurate?
Possibly. Seems I heard/read that here on FR somewhere recently. It is close as I recall.

John Kerry is obviously the next best thing to Jane Fonda running for the Presidency. Course even she didn't turn on the very men who covered her back under fire. John is in a league of his own.
If Ho was so great, I wonder what Kerry though of other great men like Pol Pot, Hitler, Hussein, Stalin, Mao... They're all pretty much in the same league.
The Democrats sure know how to pick 'em.
