They are making statements about Bob Dole and Laura Bush that are so beyond the pale that I do truly believe that some of them have gone insane

Dole can defend himself, and has done so admirably. So can Laura of course, but we Texans have a history of defending our womenfolk. Therefore, would you care to post a few links to their "statements" so we can assess the threat level and determine if the lady's honor has been besmirched?

You're right!

and I also wonder... WHY is it NOT ILLEGAL for KERRY to be calling ANY member of a 527 ???

If he sways them, isn't that collaberation?

It seems that even if he fails, he ATTEMPTED to do something illegal.

also saw on FR that the Chairman of the FEC (a Clinton appointee) called Kerry's request that the FEC order the ad pull "Absurd!" That's gotta leave a mark!

Those are pretty incredible statistics. I hope you got them all correct. It looks like great potential talking points.

There's no doubt about it. Kerry is trying everything to stop the attacks while claiming that the attacks are backfiring on Bush.

When will the lamestream media notice? They probably already have, but won't mention it until every American has already realized it as fact.

moi Kerri, is an arrogant lunatic lib who has lived by Al Gore's motto, "There is no controlling legal authority! He has been working with the rat 527's and helping to coordinate their activities with no problem."

His arrogance will not work with the Swiftvets.

>>THANK YOU, Perotistas, you freaking MOROONS!), and likely would never have won a majority in a two-way race.

Have you ever wondered if Perot was running specifically
to ruin the election for the frontrunner?

That would help explain why the twit got OUT of the race,
then came back in later when (I assume) the polls said
he was still needed to do more damage to the frontrunner.

It all seems so weasley clarkish now.

I had no idea that Kerry started the VVAW,

He didn't, but he may have resurrected it from the dead. It was formed in about '67, but was broke by '68 and nearly defunct. It made quite a comeback in '70, at about the time Kerry returned from Vietnam and went to Paris to meet with the officials of "political wing" of the Viet Cong and of the North Vietnamese government. This was also the time he married his first wife and her family's money. Connect the dots.

Really? nice thought, and I certainly have the highest
possible esteem for the swifties, but it only takes one
person to do ENORMOUS damage to their cause, and Lovey
and Soros each have huge bankrolls.

The lib media will go bonkers over the next vet to flip

calls in recent elections.

I'm 56..if we had FOX news, talk radio, and the internet in 1964..Goldwater would have beaten LBJ..

I'm a couple of years younger. But wouldn't the world be a vastly different place if he had. The Vietnam war would have had totally different ending, Tricky Dick would never have become President, so no Watergate for the left wing reporters to make their bones on. Heck he might have been succeed in '72 by Ronald Reagan, who ran a good primary campaign against Ford in the real world in '76. The Soviet Union would have fallen apart in about 1980, maybe sooner since AuH20 would have many Reagan like foreign and military policies.

Paging Harry Turtledove, your story line phone is ringing.

We really need a Freeper who is good at time lines to plot out the events in the life of moi Kerry from Nam to now with special interest where he was pivotal but basically unknown by us.

Robert “Friar Tuck” Brant, Cdr. USN (Ret.)* IS an original member of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, so Kerry HAS COMMITTED A CRIME. Is it a felony?

Voting history can be accessed through Senate voting records. The above is an accurate summary.

Kerry's voting record is just as destructive today to America’s security as was his testimony in 1971 before a Democratic Congress and Democratic Senate - don't forget that!

Now that Kerry has "cleared" up just who he was accusing of abuses in that war, I hope the entire military votes Republican and I pray Americans will wake up and see where this flower-child playboy will lead this country – straight to the United Nations...he needs his nap and play time, no time for the nation.

And if you find yourself in combat, you do not get to decide whether you survive or not

But you can influence the probablities somewhat. The best defense is of course a good offense. Shoot first if you can. Use as much and as heavy firepower as you can get your hands on.

.50 and .60 caliber machine guns

.60 caliber machine gun? We've never had such a beastie. The Soviets, and thus the VC and NVA had a 14.5 mm heavy machine gun. That's about .57 caliber close enough to .60 caliber, maybe he was firing a VC machine gun? Seriously, the author probably meant an M-60 machine gun, which is .30 caliber (7.62mm).

I never have and never will look down on anyone that was more successful than myself in trying to avoid going.

Why haven't former members of the Guard held his feet to the fire on the issue? This morning a talking head said Bush "BETRAYED" this country by not going to Viet Nam. [Fox News]

The National Guard issue will stop as soon as enough members of the Guard speak up.

The arrogance of this individual! He didn't call Brant to apologize for his war crimes testimony that claimed he and the rest of the war vets committed atrocities, but to portray himself as the innocent victim, when in reality he's just a HERO.

"KERRY: "Why are all these swift boat guys opposed to me?"

Well, duh! Don't you remember what you've done? Don't you remember testifying before the Senate impugning the honor and bravery of every Vietnam soldier who died for his Country?

Kerry before the Senate: "We were shooting civilians, cutting off their ears, cutting off their heads, etc"

The hypocrisy of this man is outstanding. On one hand, he calls Dole, he calls the swiftboat vet, he gets Bush to denounce the ad; and on the other, he releases more negative ads trashing GW about the swiftboat vets and his connection to them. In the meantime his 527's are spending millions attacking GW, while the media supports him and protects him. It's a win-win situation for Kerry.
