No doubt!
Thats because there is more truth to the Vets version than Moore absurd version....
30 years ago Kerry spent four months in Vietnam then YEARS calling NamVets murdering war criminals. Today he has wrapped himself back up in uniform and is calling us lying war criminals.
He hasn't changed and our memories of being stabbed in the back ONCE is still livid...it's not going to happen twice.
Dems are idiots...and smearing Dole is irrational,but hey,when have the Dems ever be able to figure out that irrationality isn't a good game plan?
If he becomes Commander-in-Chief, just imagine how many he could amass!
Would look like one of those crazy North Korean military dudes...medals from bottom to breakfast time
That is so many medals the guy looks like is going to buckle under the weight.
Advantage Kerry....with his height would get a full set of medals.
Someone post the NK general pic for a good laugh.
He should tell Kerry to quit while the going is good. Besides the Democrats' heart is really with Mad Howard.
---Now the Swift Vets are destroying his Vietnam smokescreen, and with the second ad are showing him to be the traitorus opportunist that he is. His senate record will be blown open by BC/04 next.---
Yep and Kerry is already punched out.
---Who is Kerry's attack dog that I saw on TV today, he looks like a ferret and he snarls his nose. Kind of a freaky looking dude...----
Had to be Chad Clanton, the book burner!
Nixon didn't really do anything to squelch his opposition. His infamous enemies list was a list of people not to invitie to parties and such-ooh, scary!
By going Nixon I mean becoming paranoid and allowing his passions to obscure his common sense.
Wow! Thanks for that link. I'm now in a flood of tears just as I was as I walked along the Viet Nam Memorial Wall in Nov 1989. I would have never imagined my overwhelming emotional reaction to that walk along that Wall. My visit to DC and particularly the VN Memorial Wall was a turning point for me, away from political apathy.
The song your link leads to brought all those memories back. Thanks again, because I never want to forget that walk and those who gave their all.
Add to that the sagacity, even temperament and persistence of a John O'Neill and it is a winning formula that will change political dynamics for a generation.
From what I can see we have done little, aside from the money contributed, to help the Vets. The little firestorm has served to diffuse and confuse their message. We are way ahead of the general public on this and that may not be a good thing. We are analyzing minutia while Joe Schmoe is still working out the basics.
Looking forward, I wonder what the best approach is to help these guys. I think a bunch of screaming ideologues will do more damage than good. There has to be a way to run interference without blunting the lance. We want to keep the wound open another two months. A month ago Fahrenheit 911 was determinant but it has scabbed over and disappeared.
---Then Bob nailed Harkin .. because Wolfie said something about Harkin calling Cheney a coward, and Bob said Harkin was "hiding out" in Japan and telling people he was in Vietnam. Wolfie was stunned - to say the least. ---
---"I think Senator Kerry needs to talk about his Senate record, which is pretty thin." Dole added. "That's probably why he's talking about his war record, which is pretty confused."---
Bob Doyle punches pretty good for an old one-armed guy! :^)
I thought it was hot!
Dole. :^)
John Hurley is one of Kerry's VVAW cohorts who tried to stop a Vietnam vet from providing information to the press that Kerry met in Kansas City with the VVAW to discuss assassinating some senators back in 72 if I remember correctly.
He's back now as a Kerry lawyer and has made his rounds this past week as a whipping boy for the Swifties.
He was on Hanity against O'Neill a few days ago, got his ass handed to him.
Then he was on Scarborough two days ago against Steve Gardner. Gardner ripped him to pieces.
And today I saw him on Fox against Van Odell, same result, though todays exchange was more toned down. Vans a lot more soft spoken than Gardner and O'Neil. Steve Gardners a real ass kicker.
He'll be back for more this week. Keep your eyes peeled you will see what I mean. He fits your description of Podesta to a T. A smarmy bottom of the trash barrel SCUMBAG. His best line is to repeat "republican smear campaign" over and over and over again. It's really his only line.
My reaction is the same as yours to podesta. I want to pull him through the t.v. screen and beat the shit out of him. No joke.
I'll keep a look out for this podesta fella. He sounds like a real dandy too.
I think they're more irrational because the election is getting close and their internal polls are looking very bad.
It must look HORRIFIC!
