Dole wants to know how Kerry got three purple hearts without "bleeding". Dole is rocking.
I'm calling McCain's office tomorrow.
I called them on the first day when he called the Swift Vet ad "dishonest and dishonorable".
Now that the Kerry Kamp is using McCain's image they are going to hear from me again.
That's otay !
I always trust McCain to smear a Republican, and not a Dem, this is the deal he has made with the elite left-wing media monopoly.
He would otherwise lose his status as "maverick".
And then he would lose his "job", his "profession", his "life", as 100% of the Senate should.
It is a very understandable and logical contract he has made, with the NY, Hollywoood, and DC media. He would be smeared as a racist, bigot, homophobe, wanted to starve kids, elderly, and poison the water and air, if he did not comply.
It is past time to put the elites down, forever. Including girly-men conservative media.
Not even going into the fACT that Bob Dole reportedly only has two purple hearts....over FOUR years of service.....over twenty some hospital operations from his war wounds....over years of lying in a hospital bed... and juxtaposing THIS, in his heart, against john kerry and his four and one half MONTH stint in a war and getting THREE purple hearts plus two other medals, no bleeding wounds-in fact-self-inflicted wounds at that, knowing kerry wrote his own reports, and upon returning-TRASHED his fellow troops and hurt a nation's resolve.
My goodness-Bob Dole is professionalism to perfection.
WOLFIE PROBABLY THOUGHT BOB DOLE WOULD BE A WHIMPY, NON-CONTROVERSIAL, VERY MUCH AGAINST BRINGING UP ANYONE'S SERVICE and that his commentary would BOLSTER THE DEMOCRATS AGENDA against the Swift Boat Vets for TRUTH.
Wrong Wolfie!
Truth is truth.....and the comment regarding Harkin was JUST PLAIN RICH!
If anyone here would be so kind as to detail Bob Dole's war wounds, I think it would contribute to the thread. I know he has lost most of the use of one of his hands, but I don't know much about how it happened. And actually, that makes him stand in contrast to Kerry even more, because Bob Dole ran for president and didn't even mention his wounds.
Back in '96, as he ran for re-election to his *Senate seat*, Kerry was being accused of committing war crimes (he's claimed so himself), so a few of these men stepped forward to say he did not, and in fact made limited comments praising his service.
Those same men then joined the group that was formed this last spring called "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" as they find John Kerry unfit to be commander in chief.
It should be noted that a book came out (in 2000, I believe) by Doug Brinkley that opened a lot of their eyes. Kerry slams them. They also from that point on started learning details of what Kerry was claiming went on over there. They had no idea he had been misrepresenting different events. Why would they have?
BTW, these same men that Kerry called and asked to defend him back in '96 as having served with him, were recently lumped in by the Kerry Kamp and the media as "not having served WITH" Kerry because they hadn't been on the same boat.
Hope that helps clear that up for you.
It is not true. They formed last spring due to the prospect of John Kerry winning the dem nomination to be president and they are united in their opinion that he is UNFIT to serve in that office. That is why the group was formed. That is when the group was formed.

John Kerry has regarded himself to be a "golden child" all his life, living in a magic garden where the rules may be changed at whim, depending on what outcome is most desirable at the moment. The "hero complex" was particularly strong, when he was modeling his life on that of John Fitzgerald Kennedy. The "conscientious objector" and "anti-war protester" persona was assumed when there was political capital to be garnered by appealing to that segment of political opinion. The "bold prosecutor" mask was put on, and used for a stepping stone to a sincure in first the state government, then in the US Senate. A most undistinguished career in the US Senate, notable mostly for its adherence to the principle of coming down solidly on both sides of any argument, ditching one family and taking up with wealthy females, in hopes of bettering even further personal fortune, and a lackadaisical attitude about voting and attendance at committee meetings.
Now all the magic seems to be dissolving, and a most unpleasant picture of the world is emerging. Is John Kerry even sure he WANTS to be President. Hint: It means being on the job FULL TIME, ready to jump to action any moment, day or night.
No more losing the "nuclear football". The Presidency is a serious job intended to be carried out by adults.
Wrong. Kerry is a perfectly legitimate fraud. There is nothing at all phony about his fraudulence.

Remarkable. Telling. Devastating.
And our press wants this man to lead us while we are at war? Very scary.
this is just the softening up stage. stay tuned,
"Blitzer: Well, that's another story but Harkin says Cheney was a cowrad"
Cheney was only draft eligible for 2 years, and at that time was enrolled in school.
Okay. You start a thread on that.
Bob Dole:
Yes, Bob Dole certainly does.
-good times, G.J.P. (Jr.)
