Here's what Admiral Hoffman had to say at the Swift Boat press conference earlier this month:

"I do not believe John Kerry is fit to be Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces of the United States. This is not a political issue. It is a matter of his judgment, truthfulness, reliability, loyalty and trust -- all absolute tenets of command. His biography, 'Tour of Duty,' by Douglas Brinkley, is replete with gross exaggerations, distortions of fact, contradictions and slanderous lies. His contempt for the military and authority is evident by even a most casual review of this biography. He arrived in-country with a strong anti-Vietnam War bias and a self-serving determination to build a foundation for his political future. He was aggressive, but vain and prone to impulsive judgment, often with disregard for specific tactical assignments. He was a 'loose cannon.' In an abbreviated tour of four months and 12 days, and with his specious medals secure, Lt.(jg) Kerry bugged out and began his infamous betrayal of all United States forces in the Vietnam War. That included our soldiers, our marines, our sailors, our coast guardsmen, our airmen, and our POWs. His leadership within the so-called Vietnam Veterans Against the War and testimony before Congress in 1971 charging us with unspeakable atrocities remain an undocumented but nevertheless meticulous stain on the men and women who honorably stayed the course. Senator Kerry is not fit for command."

Boat Admiral Hoffman on Hannity & Colmes tonight PING

"It is a fact that in the entire Vietnam War we did not lose one major battle.
We lost the war at home and at home John Kerry was the field general"

- Bob Elder, Swift Boat Veteran For Truth


"I do not believe John Kerry is fit to be commander in chief of the U.S. armed forces,"
said retired Rear Adm. Roy Hoffmann, chairman of the organization.
"This is not a political issue. It is a matter of honesty."

Kerry's greatest asset with the Left is also his greatest liability with responsible voters: the truth about his past.

New Kerry video has surfaced -- he claims someone on the mall in 1971 showed him a pocketfull of Vietnamese "ears" cut off in acts of US military war crimes. Sure. Why didn't Kerry turn the guy in as a nut or a serial killer? Just more Kerry lies, but more documented on yet another 1971 videotape. Kerry can't tell the truth.

Bump for Swift Boat Vets for Truth (Kerry is a disgraceful liar).

This is very Off Subject, probably just plain Off. I didn't want to post this as a Vanity, but just here.
I just read most of the posts on this thread, ate a little Pasta, and as Pasta does to me, I took a short nap.
I had a most vivid dream, which is not normal for me. Most of my dreams are really dumb but this one was digital quality and serious (series, for those that insist). I Dreamed that Ronald Reagan Died at 11:58 May 30, 2004 and that Rush Limbaugh had mentioned on his show that "How fitting that "RONALDUS MAXIMUS" passed on Memorial Day, and the Press went absolutely insane trying to make sure that everyone understood that it was 2 minutes before Memorial Day where Ronald Reagan was, I woke up in a sweat.
Please don't think I am weird, I just thought that this dream was... well, the way these folks think, scary.
