The MSM has already started turning on Kerry. The Bostpon Globe has recently published unflattering stores about him, Newsweek is backing away from him and, most recently, Helen "I've-got-Alzheimers-and-don't-care-how-I-show-it" Thomas turned on Kerry and his lies.

They are realizing that they can't bury this story much longer. I smell roasted Kerry turning on the spit.

"I heard Donna Brazille say on CNN today that GWB was giving "aid and comfort to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth." If only I could get my hands around her huge bloated neck..."

Exactly.

There are two broad catagories of people that make up the base of today's DemocRAT party: cynical opportunists / criminal mentalities and the ones Karl Marx called, "useful idiots".

Which catagory do you think she fits into? LOL

We need to be careful using the work "hemorrhaging" and Kerry in the same sentence or he'll put in for another medal!

JF Kennedy's heroics warranted a stirring Hollywood movie, PT 109. JF Kerry's antics warrant a remake of "McHale's Navy".

I used .50-caliber machine guns which were granted and ordered to use, which were our only weapon against people. I took part in search-and-destroy missions, in the burning of villages," Kerry said in 1971.

If that is true why is he carrying an M16 in some of his photos and were in the hell did the Grenade Launcher come from that he used. Did he unmount the 50 Caliber from the gun tub and run through the jungle and shoot the VC when he earned his silver Star.

John Kerry is a damned liar.

Kerry must be kicking himself that he didn't get footage of his bullet ridden boat on that day.

He shouldn't fret over that. Forensic analysis of the footage would have determined that the holes were .22, rather then .30 caliber.

At least this one would have some merit since he will be putting himself in after a serious A$$ kicking.

The best Kerry can hope for in this cat fight is to stop the hemorrhaging of points in the polls.

He can't stop the hemorrhaging. The SBVT have yanked the scab off a festering wound and it's going to bleed until all the venom, all the ugly pus has been drained from that wound.

As I understand it, the Swift Boat Vets have until Sept. 2 to do their work, then they are muzzled until the election is over. Is this correct?

Certain types of activity are prohibited. I believe that George Will mentioned a 28 minute documentary in October. Nothing prohibts a documentary. Also, third or fourth class mailings executed on 2 Sep would take three or four weeks to arrive. So we shall see what happens.

Benedict Arnold escaped after his failure to turn over West Point to the British and fought against the Americans. When the Revolution ended, Arnold spent his last years in England.

...While JOHN KERRY now swims in the consequences of his own Vietnam LIES...

...a good-hearted Vietnamese American will be elected to a State Legislature for the 1st time in U.S. History for very good reason:

"If the talk turns instead to Kerry's Senate record, he would be losing public support at an even faster rate. This guy is a loser, and the Democratic party is a mess for having gone with him."

Kerry wrapped himself in the flag for the convention for 2 reasons
1) With the war on terrorism, even the Democrats regected the antiwar candidate. They know even if they pretend not to that this is for real and a girlie boy in the white house will not do.
2) Kerry was trying to obscure his senate record where he is profoundly weak with his military record which on the surface appears profoundly strong.

Nobody but the swifties who were bloodied in the same war could attack his military record.

Bush is now has free rein to attack his Senate record.

Good observation. It continues to validate that Kerry is a liar and should have been put on trial for Aiding the Enemy with Propaganda.

Good point! At the DNC Kerry chose to run for President on a fabricated resume that has been refuted by the Swift Vets and basically acknowledged to be a error (lie) by the Kerry campaign. He avoided talking about his post-Vietnam slander of those still serving their country. He really avoided talking about his 19 nonproductive years in the Senate where he consistently voted against measures to protect the USA. What does anyone see in this guy?
