As a veteran, it disgusts me that the Swift Boats we loved while we were in uniform on the Mekong Delta have been rendered, in Karl Rove's twisted politics, an ugly verb meaning to lie about someone's character just to win an election.

"Swift boating" to me means to tell the TRUTH about someone's character. Maybe the leftists would have us believe the opposite, but we already know that leftists, when accusing others, are really talking about themselves!

To most people “Swift-boating” means exposing the truth when a candidate is riding on the coat-tails of lies.

I just think it is hilarious that he doesn’t support Edwards.

Kerry won’t come out and say it but this is aimed at the clintons, not the GOP.

I served as a nurse in Vietnam. I fail to admire someone that scams the system on Purple Heart awards. He had a plan and executed it well. He should just shut up and move on.
Having watched the presentation of these awards numerous times and knowing what Kerry did is a little sickening.

... the country I love

What's not to love about it ketchup boy? Homes in Washington, Beacon Hill (Boston), Nantucket, Sun Valley, an estate in NW France, and others I probably don't know about ... a cushy senate job and a wife worth hundreds of millions ... life ain't tough.

True. Not sure you are responding to the poster you wanted to. Any post where I expressed admiration or support for Kerry would be of interest to me.

He is doing this because of the Clintons, not the GOP, as I said before.

Was Kerry really in love with his boat? He sure left it quick enough. Love 'em and Leave 'em, I guess.

For the record John:

The true definition of SWIFTBOATING is REVEALING FACTUAL INFORMATION ABOUT A PERSON. Swiftboating takes place when the Main Stream Media refuses to do their job.

Did he ever take any action regarding the million dollar challenge? I remember a bunch of talk, but what ever came of it?

You read my mind-- I want the answer to that one, too. And I agree with the poster who found it funny that Kerry isn't supporting Edwards. Gee, four years ago Kerry was trying to convince us all that Edwards belonged that heartbeat away from the presidency-- now all of a sudden he isn't even the best candidate? My how times change.

The truth matters, but how you fight the lies matters even more. We must be determined never again to lose any election to a lie.

Oh boy. Where to start. Skerry still isn't over the 2004 elections. He couldn't see the truth if it hit him square in the bu++. I guess he still thinks that the documents dan raTHer used in that hit job on Bush were authentic. The biggest reason he lost, were his actual record and moments like the one pictured below.

From one phony to another phony, can anyone be more sincere?

John Kerry is 180 degrees out of sync as usual.

The truth matters, but how you fight the lies matters even more.

Kerry wouldn't know the truth if it smacked him in the ass.
