As a democratic supporter of John Edwards during the nomination process I wrote that John Kerry was unfit for office.
Today, I am even more concerned with John Kerry as the commander and chief. I will vote for George W. Bush and try to convince all my Democratic friends to 'Push for Bush'.
The following points are reasons why I believe John Kerry is unfit for command as President of the United States. If you don't agree with any point - just ask yourself if any of the other points would determine in your mind; "Does this make Kerry unfit for command?"
(Excerpt) Read more at useless-knowledge.com ...
1. No coward [ presidential candidate or otherwise ] who would shoot a child in the back is fit for office. According to the Geneva Convention - John Kerry committed war crimes in Vietnam when he shot a teenage boy in the back while the boy was running from the beach. Not only is he unfit for command - murder has no statue of limitations, and carries a hard sentence.
2. A President must be unwavering in his approach to life and leadership. It is public record that John Kerry can never keep his story straight. A respected attorney told me once; "For every untruth, it takes three other untruths to cover up the first one." This point alone is enough to make John Kerry unfit for command, now or forever in the future.
3. John Kerry's family history of mental illness and suicide should cause great concern for citizens when thinking of someone with his family history as president. Even a sergeant in the army that is found to be mentally unfit would be relieved of duty. Potential mental illness in the oval office is not an asset and proclaims Kerry unfit for command.
4. General Wesley Clark, while running for office, proclaimed that Kerry was having an affair with an office intern and the story seemingly was squelched by the main media when the intern unexpectedly left the country. Here is something where an officer should have been a gentleman. Infidelity is a reason a candidate can be proclaimed unfit for office.
5. In 1970 the Harvard Crimson paper followed John Kerry in Boston as he campaigned for Congress in 1970. In the course of the article, "John Kerry: A Navy Dove Runs for Congress", the paper reported: "When he approached his draft board for permission to study for a year in Paris, the draft board refused and Kerry decided to enlist in the Navy." Will Kerry flip-flop on the issue of the draft board when speaking of Bush's record in the national guard when Clinton didn't even serve in the military?
6. In the same article, Kerry was quoted as saying; " "I'm an internationalist," Kerry said. "I'd like to see our troops dispersed through the world only at the directive of the United Nations." This nation needs an American president through and through - not someone that would sell out this country to an international community that would like to see the eagle crash. This statement makes Kerry unfit for command of the United States military, as his wife would surely have an input in his decisions.
7. During the primary campaign, Kerry began to follow John Edwards in adopting the "people versus the powerful" populist line that Gore pursued in the 2000 campaign. Kerry condemned "Benedict Arnold corporations" that sent jobs overseas. But how many jobs has Kerry been responsible for leaving this country. If elected how many people would be out of work. Peace and Prosperity come from hope and faith. I have no faith in John Kerry - He is Unfit for Command.
I mostly don't like democrats, but this one seems ok ;)
First I've heard of this. Can anyone elaborate?
BTTT
Is #3 True? I know he's prone to exaggerating but is that mental illiness? The left is mentally ill. They are going nuts because others are attacking their tin god!
Check out "Kerrylied" website...the Left are just bent out of shape over the Swiftee's. They're posting messages to debunk and to justify Kerry's actions. They are calling the conservatives a bunch of Neo-Con conspiracy theorist. They are calling Corsi a racist but it's okay for liberals to call conservative religious fanatics and rubes. They believe in censorhip for evil conservatives! Such babies!
The only Mental illness I know of, would be his paternal Grandfather committed suicide , by shooting himself in the head in a hotel in Boston, and John Kerry's first wife suffered from mental illiness and depression, and suicidal thoughts.
:-p
Oh, yep. Forgot about that one. Thanks.
Well, this country sure missed that memo back in 1992...
I hate to say it, but #1 is pretty flawed. The "child" in question had a rocket launcher. Back, front, side, he was an enemy combatant and needed killing. Not even the Swiftvets are claiming that shooting the kid "in the back" in any way detracted from what he did, or made it not the right thing to do under the circumstances. O'Neill has said straight out it -was- the right thing to do. Was it worthy of a Silver Medal? Hell no. But to call it murder or an atrocity in a war situation? Just as over the top in the other direction. And this is from someone who can't despise Kerry any more than he already does, and who cannot possibly believe Kerry is more Unfit to Command than he already does. Kerry is a communist lying sack of pus that deserves to be shot for his treason against the U.S. But shooting that Viet Cong fighter ("child" or not) in the back is -not- one of the multitude of valid reasons to despise the cretin.

I wonder if Kerry would be doing better if America hadn't suffered on 9/11?
Before 9/11, some people might have bought Kerry's "I am an internationalist" line, because they would not have known the world is not going to defend us as well as we can defend ourselves.
Some people might have accepted his "peacenik" history, if we weren't at war.
I disagree with this one. Mental illness is not necessarily genetic.
Don't kill the "Goose that laid the Golden Egg" entirely, the strangely quiet Mrs. Clinton is looming outside the door........ just wound him enough to mark his unfitness............
Shooting anyone in the back....even the enemy. Is a bit over the top for me, but I am a girl and have never been on a war front.
Mathilde Kohn zog nach der Emigration des Fritz nach Wien, wo sie verarmt am 24.5.1935 verstarb.Loosely translated: "After Fritz (Kerry's grandfather) emigrated, Mathilde moved to Vienna where she died, impovershed, on May 24, 1935."
Did Kerry's family lose contact with her? Were they too poor to send her money? Did someone in Austria confiscate her money?
If I was in war, I'd kill the enemy before he gets me...and you would to.
I suppose I would, and especially if I thought the enemy was a threat to my family, friends, or fellow soliders and I thought he would return with that weapon to wreak havoc.
