There's no rat like a cornered rat.
Record? What record?
War? What war?
Yeah, we can see Kerry is VERY concerned with America's future - NOT!
Problem is, people who watch the show, won't have seen this article!!!!
Please PING your list.
bttt
If this aspect of Barnes' story is not addressed by Dan Rather then what we have is the Tass New Agency posing as an American media outlet.
With the recurring onslaught of media liberal bias, the onus is really on the average American to be able to sort out their bias-laced reporting and come to their own conclusions. This is only possible today with the advent of alternative internet news sources, a scary thought when you consider the average American doesn't follow the news that closely.
The loss of an even-handed press is a tremendous loss for American freedom.
God help us recover the reporter with integrity.
Note to NYT -- now THAT was a sneer.
I assume, and I bet Bush is willing to stipulate, that 68Kerry would have been a superior President to 68Bush.
BUT IT'S NOT 1968 ANYMORE.
In the thirty-six years SINCE 1968, Kerry has shown us what kind of a President he would be, and so has Bush.
The choice is clear.
Don't live in the past.
I'm sure the MSM is all over this.
I hope that someone on this board is working for the President. Because what you just said is what he should be saying at the first debate. It would de-tooth that traitor J F'in Kerry right quickly.
BUMP to you!
Rather not only participated in the fundraiser, he was the featured speaker. Rather's own daughter was the organizer.
I disagree with your premise based on the following:
NEVER trust anyone who is so desparate to become President that he creates his own presidential history! The '68 version of Kerry was just as %$#@ed up as the 2004 version.
Give me someone who respects the office and approaches the responsibilities humbly and reverently...and is dedicated to protecting the American people instead of advancing himself!
Ben Barnes can apparently trade on his past associations and positions to make some very plausible statements as to his influence in "securing" a berth in the Texas Air National Guard for young George W. Bush, based on "family connections". But it falls apart on two very telling facts: Why would a yellow-dog Democrat do ANY favor for a known Republican, George H. W. Bush? And George W. Bush joined the Texas ANG several months BEFORE Ben Barnes assumed the office of lieutenant governor, and presumedly did not yet carry the influence.
Some things are done on merit alone.
I don't think you would have liked 68 Bush much.
Fortunately, he's not the candidate.
Maybe not...but the '68 Bush was involved with living his life and not consumed with the eventual possibility of being President. My point being...when Bush decided to run for the highest office in the land, he did so based on making a contribution...not like Kerry who sees himself entitled to the office because he's been planning his whole life for this opportunity to lead the nation and be our savior.
Who watches that anymore ?
Makes sense that a Yale grad w/ a post grad degree & the son of a distinguished WWII pilot/ vet would be accepted to the Nat'l Guard. Anyone know if Johnny ef's dad was a vet?
Richard Kerry grew up in Massachusetts. He graduated from Yale University in 1937 and Harvard University Law School in 1940. He met Rosemary Forbes while traveling during a summer vacation in France, where Rosemary lived on the Forbes estate. In January 1941, while stationed at an Army base in Alabama where he tested planes as an Army Air Corps pilot, he and Rosemary were married. He became seriously ill with tuberculosis and was hospitalized in Denver, Colorado, where Rosemary gave birth to their second child, John Kerry. A few months later, the family moved to Massachusetts, where John spent the next six years of his life.
Appears that Johnny's dad spent WWII on a stateside assignment. Wonder if the Forbes family arranged that?
Bump to find later
