Has Kerrie released all of his military records including the medical records he used to get the lavender hearts that were made specially for him?
Kerry is a disgrace to men who, like my father, served in Vietnam.
Ping - see #28
Was this guy really fragged in Vietnam or was it really an accident? Anyone know?
Maybe Max has the lauded hamster in his pocket. Maybe he'll pull out his hamster and dangle it in front of us.
Is that a hamster in your pocket are are you just glad
to see me? Etc.
Cleland's ego is so big that he is going to go over his allotted time and screw up Kerry's speech.
Don't you know? He went in as John Kerry and came back as JFK.
I was refused my right to vote in 2000 too here in TN.
But I don't think anybody cares though, because I would have voted for Bush.
Now that Max Cleland is on, I decided to play "Shot in the Head" by Savoy Brown. Yes, I opened a beer and have 5 more:)
Max sure is laying this on thick
Cleland is pretty much about Cleland tonite... he throws Kerry in occasionally.
No, they are going to shove it down our throats again. Make us really pay all over again.
We need high-top boots tonite.
It is getting deep!
Yes and by doing so he bastardized his children.
They won't have to.
Veterans are going to do it for them.

KERRY WAR COMRADES PREPARE BATTLE -- AGAINST KERRY
Capped by Kerry's primetime speech to accept the Democratic Party's nomination, Thursday's program will include appearances and remarks by Kerry's Swift Boat crewmates, the Kerry-Edwards campaign announced in a press release this morning.
But a group of veterans will soon try to convince a nation how what is presented on the convention stage tonight -- may not be the full story: "Only 2 of John Kerry's 23 fellow Swift boat commanders from Coastal Division 11 support his candidacy today."
A new bombshell book written by the man who took over John Kerry's Swift Boat charges: Two of John Kerry's three Purple Heart decorations (#1 and #3) resulted from self-inflicted wounds, not suffered under enemy fire.
The startling Purple Heart accusations, outlined in detail for the first time, are found in UNFIT FOR COMMAND, Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry.
And that's just the beginning.
The book, previewed by the DRUDGE REPORT, will be unleashed next month by REGNERY.
The book hit #2 on the AMAZON sales chart on the eve of the Kerry acceptance speech in Boston.
Swift Boat Veterans began to fume after Kerry's campaign used a photograph of John Kerry and 19 other Coastal Division 11 Swift boat officers [taken at Ton Sun Nuht Air Base on January 22, 1969] in a pro-Kerry advertisement.
William Shumadine, a member of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth pictured in the photograph, explains in UNFIT: "John Kerry's use of a photograph with his nineteen comrades, with knowledge that eleven of them comdemn him and six who cannot or do not want to be involved, is a complete misreprentation to the public and a total fraud."
[A major campaign is being planned, beginning next week, over 200 anti-Kerry vets involved, with news conferences in battleground states.]
Developing...
I don't know it that is the truth or not but I know the guy was there and that this was his story.
Question is, does anybody care?
Ok...Im only 30 and never served in the military. I've the greatest respect for all who served - including John Kerry. But at what point are these particular veterans talking down to people with this CONSTANT parade and refrain? I know it's aimed at W and to cover up the correct perception of liberal as wet, panty wearing, socialist appeasers, but I feel a general insult from this constant stern talking "down to me" tone delivered by these so called "friends of Kerry".
I'd just be glad somebody's wearing panties....
John Kerry put everything Max was feeling into words.
And seeing as Max wasn't feeling much.
That pretty much sums it up!
