Thanks, but my prediction was a bit on the pessimistic or cynical side. My prediction was that one person out of six, in the US, would view Kerry as a phony. That means 5 of 6 would view him as sincere and truthful.
The media is a powerful force. Suckers are born faster than one a minute, and stupidity is one of the most abundant elements in the universe.
I agree with your analysis. I sit here shaking my head at some of the things that come out of his mouth.
Just starting this thread so forgive if this has already been posted. This does seem to be taken directly from the upcoming book.....UNFIT FOR COMMAND.
or stay home...
That too. :-)
Exactly. Some people just don't seem to understand that is not about Pres Bush (he obviously knows that) and that it is about setting the records straight on an outright liar -- Kerry. McCain should have kept his mouth shut but that never stopped him before. I don't understand the people talking about recanting either since a statement said the Boston Globe was wrong in their story unless something happened in the last 24 hours I don't know about.
Message to Michael Kranish: So many words. So many lies. If you're going to write fiction, call it fiction.
IIRC, this is the same guy that lied about one of the SBVs for Truth supposedly recanting.
G-d help us, how did this man tell so many lies for so long? It's no wonder he has nightmares......he's lost and cant figure out who the he(( he is.
Ummm, I'm a bit fuzzy on my history. Would have to look up which president made fairly public pronouncments that "troops were not in Cambodia." I don't recall Johnson making that sort of statement ... but maybe he did. It's a good history "look up," FWIW.
I say "FWIW," because it is clear that Kerry is a phony, that he makes things up to suit the moment, and he is willing to wildly inflate facts, even about himself, in order to obtain personal gain.
Pop-up adds?? What the hell is that? I have not had one of those in 2 years. I use Mozilla. What a wondeful browser.
Vietnam is a loser."
Me thinks you think the 10% 'swing' voters are so intellectually astute that they'll be able to digest the discrepancies of his '20 year Senate vote history'. No way Jose --- Vietnam / war / lies / stories / and more lies --- is the way to go!
Swiftboat vets..."full speed ahead!"
You remember correctly.
...but the fact that the race is even close gives me pause...as a strict constructionist I am used to losing at the polls. Ronald Reagan was the last ray of political hope I have experienced...and now a majority of freepers look at a GWB victory with glee, he who is happy to let Ted Kennedy write the education bill when education is clearly not within federal jurisdiction. (see article 1, section 8 and the 10th amendment) and that is just one example of many.
He's the MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE...except he never had implants (a la the new version)nor brainwashing (the old version),but was born and bred to it by his own parents and helped by the Kennedy clan and the money of a DEAD Republican.
As far as I know, no change in facts. The media trumpted false innuendo, and has whispered what they call "standing by their original story" (that Elliott recently waffled in his position regarding the awarding of the Silver Star). It is no wonder people are confused, when the media sets out to deliberately confuse them.
Nope. But, we can disagree.
No one said we were in Cambodia in 1968 as far as I know. We started secretly bombing Cambodia in March 1969. We didn't invade Cambodia until April 1970.
Rather than implants, it would seem that Kerry's brain has been rendered inoperable, that is, if he ever had one.
True.
Swiftboat vets certainly do not agree.
