McCain has called the anti-Kerry advertisement "dishonest" and "dishonorable."

Hey, McLame, how would you know if the Swiftees are being dishonest?

Which of kerry's Swift boats did you serve aboard?

Oh, you didn't? Then you should have just STFU.

Gardner suggested that the few Swift Boat vets supporting Kerry may be hoping for jobs in a Kerry administration...or money.

You have to ask? He's an ivory tower academic. Most likely a tower with no window to the outside world.

What I don't understand is it is his own party that got him and the rest of us into that war.

I'm curious about why he came to hate the Republicans so much, now culminating in his obviously rabidly hatred towards Bush. I don't think he is capable of saying one nice thing about Bush no matter what. Bush, on the other hand, said Kerry's service was honorable and noble or whatever.

Something runs deep here. What is his hatred really about?

I don't want to get into how much of a communist sympathizer he may or may not have been. His lifestyle is the antithesis of communism.

The only communists who had anything, and it wasn't much by our standards, were the top guys. The rest were crammed into apartment blocks and had to stand in line just for bread, never mind meat and the other stuff.

Did his family harbor some deep-seated hatred of something?

I'm just curious. Bush, whatever faults he may possess, does not come across as being hateful, except toward Saddam and the terrorists.

From Kerry's "The New Soldier":
Al Hubbard Sgt., 22 Troop Carrier Squadron Aug. ’65-June ’66

Emotions: Walking down the flight line at Saigon past stacks of aluminum cases containing American bodies and past stacks of aluminum luggage containing American currency. Seeing the tight, sad face of an Airman loading the bodies aboard a dirty Air Force Transport and the wide smiling face of a stewardess greeting the passengers aboard a clean Pan American Clipper Jet. Hearing a Vietnamese beg you to leave his country and an American colonel tells you to bomb his country. Hearing a Vietnamese invite you to live in his home, after the war and an American explain why you can’t live in his block, after the war. Flying over barren, brown, safe American held terrain and over lush, green unsafe enemy terrain. Feeling happy to be leaving a country in which you do not belong and sad to be returning to a country in which you are not allowed to belong. Sacrificing a portion of your consciousness so you won’t have to deal with being there and building mental blocks so you won’t have to deal with having been there.

- Al Hubbard, proven fraud who never set foot in Viet Nam. The only Vietnamese he ever met was when he was collaborating with the North Vietnamese in Paris
on the American Communist Party's nickel.
John Kerry's explanation: "He (Hubbard) simply exaggarated his particular position.
But nobody knew it at the time. And those things happen."

The New Soldier, (46 pages)

NEW:
“Without question,
we were held captive longer
because of the anti-war people,
the Kerrys, the Fondas and Haydens,
the names we knew over there -
they encouraged the enemy to hang on.”

The only reason I can think of is no doubt shallow and stupid to most...but I believe the republican and democrats seem to operate like a dysfunctional family. The Republcians represent the parents in this family-protective, fully grown-up, shocked at the behavior of their children (the democrats), and as parents, present a more dignified and thoughtful demeanor and are less willing to do anything to win, understanding that the route to the win dictates the value of the win.

The democrats-the children-are not yet governed by rules of ethical and moral behavior-they are spoiled because somewhere along the line-the parents were quiet when they should have been noisy.

The democrats use any means to win, do not understand the foundations of moral and ethical rules of law, rebell against those rules, are subject to the whims of friends that give them cookie money in return for a loyalty to nefarious and often down right un-American objectives, and perhaps, worst of all, though these children see what their parents believe in, and on some level know it is good, they cannot resist the temptation to to acquaint themselves with the more outrageous, 'fun' way of doing things, shock value appeals to them and good character is boring....down right 'parental'.

These children, even grown up age-wise now (to about teenage level), are often in positions of power, but are still mental midgets in the ethical, moral and visionary departments.

Stuck in the 60's teenage mentality, and love to call everyone stupid but themselves. As all teenagers do.

It used to be democrats and republicans differed in the means to achieve equally worthy goals in most cases. Now, they differ in three deep ways- they do not care about good character, in once held noble objectives and the means of attaining said objectives has become a constant free for all for them. Making every thing difficult to bridge.

Bingo! Steve Gardner was on talk radio today and he totally blew away Kerry's latest lie, to wit:

Kerry said, "All the guys who were with me on my boat, all the guys who were with me in the specific action where they could see it and do it, absolutely document what I said.

Here is what Gardner said:

1. Gardner served more time with Kerry than any other crewman under his command--ever. This was 2 1/2 months out of Kerry's 4 months and 12 days in combat. He was ON THE BOAT as well.

2. Kerry was the worst skipper and officer the man ever served under. Kerry fell asleep at the radar scope in the pilot house or he was negligent in his duty to warn them of an approaching Sandpan while their boat was sitting with its motor off. When the Vietcong-supporter Sandpan caught them by surprise, Gardner had no choice but to fire on a man aiming an SKS rifle at him. During this exchange, Garner admits he inadvertantly shot a small boy crouched in front of the man who was about to fire.

3. Kerry took credit for his boat killing 5 Vietcong militia and taking 2 captives. This was a lie Kerry perpetrated to cover up his negligence on duty--there were only 2 people killed (including the boy). The CIA (Captured in Action) were a mother and her infant crouched at the bow of the Sandpan.

4. Kerry was never in Cambodia in Christmas 1968, or in January 1969. There was not magic CIA hat. Kerry is caught in this lie and wants to ignore it (and hopes the Media does as well).
