What we'd like to know is this: How many men were killed qualifying/training in the F-102 (Air National Guard and USAF) vs. how many men were killed "driving" Swift boats in Viet Nam. Hubby did a FULL tour on Swifts at about the same time as Kerry (hubby was further north). He doesn't recall an overwhelming number of OinC's buying the farm. Anyone have any statistics on this?
Clinton had tons of skeletons and the media in cahoots with him. So he just said nothing most of the time whenever things got too hot and let the press divert to covering the OJ Simpson Trial or whatever.
Kerry is brain dead.
I believe Don Evans has an amazing story about Dubya's heroic piloting of their plane. He is convinced that Dubya's cool expertise saved their lives.
If it was only Kerry's brain that was missing it wouldn't be too bad. It's the lack of soul and heart that is so troubling.
The only way to do that is for John Kerry to continue confronting these attacks as sleazy hit pieces. He needs to let Americans (preferably in swing states) know how these ads break his heart. "Not only are their attacks hurtful to me and my family. They are also slandering those band of brothers who risked their lives alongside of me in Vietnam. And to me, that is unforgiveable."
Nah, Kerry should have taken the moral high ground and said that while he appreciates their service to this country, his recollections differ from theirs. Instead, he's bashing not only veterans but POWs!
Scarborough is on live tonight.
Rather than admit the truth, that Kerry had called Reed and asked him to help, he went off on some bogus story about the guy feeling it was his duty as a citizen.
Too bad Joe doesn't have the facts to get to the bottom of this.
Bill Rood, not Reed ;)
The Washington Post reporter said specifically that they had found no evidence linking Bush to the Swifties.
"So Bush stays on the high road while Kerry goes on attack and bleeds support because of these ads. The Kerry camp must change this political dynamic quickly. "
Stop giving them advice Scarboough, we don't want them to win.
'It's pretty sad, says Meehan, Kerry's still walking around with schrapnel, Bob Dole has a problem with Navy medals, Bob Dole should take it up with the navy. Kerry volunteered for 2 tours in Viet Nam, he says. ????
Meehan says White HOuse put Bob Dole out there, and Bush is putting out a new ad tomorrow.
Jennifer Millerwise, Bush Cheney Dep Communications Director, denies that allegation. "Tied up in knots", is how Jennifer describes the KErry campaign, she says the Kerry campaign has ACT people in Ohio doing their work for them, all the moveon.org money....
Jennifer comments on the Kerry ad: We've condemned all 520 ads, and we've asked Kerry to do the same, we think it's wrong, we've been at the receiving end of 62 million dollars worth of these ads. She lists off all the things the Bush campaign wants to talk about, not Viet Nam.
Meehan on why Harold Ickes can get away with putting on ads for his ACT foundation, in cahoots with the Kerry campaign. blah blah, I cna't keep up with his spin.
Hackworth will be on Scarborough tomorrow. Hackworth is a HACK, first class.
As a rule, when a 'Rat's lips are moving, he's lyin'.
Can anyone say "Kerry's Senate Record" he has done a masterful job in drawing attention away from the real issue...his very ultra liberal voting record
Of course you're correct....
It's just that we old farts are still fighting "our war"...
The leftists in our nation, and Kerry in particular, have still not been "dealt with" properly - from OUR perspective...
I care not if Kerry is unmasked and defeated for his actions 30+ years ago - or his current treacheries.... I just want him unmasked, throughly defeated and humiliated - as he encouraged the American public to think of us on our return home....
Then, I want some old farts to grab him by his $100 haircut, drag him to the Wall on the Mall and have him apologize in person to all our brothers that he slandered as they still fought or laid in their graves..
I, for one, will NEVER forgive the bastard, or those that stood with him.... NEVER, NEVER, NEVER......
Semper Fi
I wont be surprised if the media doesnt mention the fact that Zell Miller is a democrat. It would be against everything they believe in. After all, it is the republicans who are suppose to be jumping ship, at least according to NBC.
NBC is also saying Bush is not welcome at the Olympics. http://www.drudgereport.com/flashat.htm
They just want a piece of Kerrys 527 money ($125 Million), and say anything to get some.
I prefer to think of GW as the LIBERATOR of Afganistan and Iraq.
I agree with you 110%, but it's bigger than even that. We are talking about the demise of our culture and our nation if this scumbag and his crew of America haters take power.
