The last battle of the Vietnam War was fought on November 2nd, 2004, as John Kerry was defeated in his bid to become President of the United States by John O'Neill and the Swift Vets and POWs for Truth. What was the battle about? It was a battle to recapture the honor of the Vietnam veterans who served gallantly and heroically in that war. And who were the adversaries in this battle? It was the dishonest old media culture -- CBS, NBC, ABC, The New York Times, and the LA Times, who backed John Kerry’s version of how Vietnam veterans...

John Kerry: The Scott Peterson of Politics By Frank Salvato October 28, 2004 There is one thing John Kerry is consistent on: his propensity for manipulating the truth. From Vietnam to the floor of the senate to the halls of the United Nations, Kerry has stretched and exaggerated to create "the truth" and has done so without compunction. His latest "over the top" invention is his "two-hour meeting with the entire UN Security Council." The crafting of this tale should tarnish his image in the eyes of his supporters, if not we should consider their intelligence highly suspect. Throughout his...

45 minutes to go. If there is already a live debate thread go ahead and delete this. I understand posting a live thread has become a somewhat of a political ordeal here, when it shouldn't be. So to take the pressure off, I'm posting this anyway. Do I dare? LOL!

The subliberal candidate for President of the United States calls the Prime Minister of Iraq a liar. One would think if things were so awful in Iraq he would be saying so and be campaigning for Kerry. Allawi is obviously against TERRORISM and KERRORISM... >The Massachusetts senator questioned assertions by Allawi, a key ally of the Bush administration, that Iraq would hold elections in January despite the flaring insurgency and that "we are succeeding in Iraq." "I think the prime minister is obviously contradicting his own statement of a few days ago when he said that terrorists are pouring into...

In 1996, I took the ride of my life, but I have no regrets about exposing Bill Clinton for the louse that he is. Blowing the whistle on a powerful politician was different from any activity I had ever undertaken, and I arrested people and dodged bullets for a living! I thought I had seen it all, but I was wrong. When I began my quest to surface the truth, I was an honest, independent, a-political FBI agent. But, when the establishment was finished with me, I was “aligned with the Dole campaign, Big Tobacco, shadowy right-wing financiers of various...

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - The last time the Vietnam War loomed so large in a presidential election, it was 1972 and U.S. soldiers were still fighting in Southeast Asia. But the war has taken center stage again as both parties seek the support of Vietnam veterans - turning to them as the emerging elder statesmen among U.S. war veterans. At a conference this past week, on the 40th anniversary of the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, the Vietnam Veterans of America urged its members to make their voices heard. "This election is probably more important than any election for president since...

Let's see if I can kick this off. During the promo at the beginning of the show, where he was standing by live in West Virginia, and throughout the interview itself, Kerry tried hard to keep this huge "what me worry?" smile plastered on his face. He coupled it with numerous condescending head shakes that seemed to imply "these poor benighted fools who so miserably misunderstand the greatness that is John Kerry."

So Far Timmy is letting Botox get away with it (shock there I know), but I have been noticing something very interesting... At 38 minutes into the broadcast Kerry and Timmy have said the word "Vietnam" 40 Times (mostly from kerry)... whereas combined they have said the word "Iraq" only 11. Reason I found this interesting is becuase I ask myself, which is more relevant today? All in all though I am happy with the broadcast since Kerry is coming across as not only horribly boring, but evasive and weak as well.

Why were there so few American casualties in Iraq? Body armor is a major reason, the Associated Press reports. ‘‘Hands down, body armor is much more effective at saving lives than any medicine we’ve brought to the battlefield,’’ Col. Clifford Cloonan, a doctor at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, told the AP. "Military scientists (worked) to lighten the body armor after soldiers who removed 8- to 12-pound protective chest plates were wounded or killed in the 1990s," the wire service says. "The new plates, inserted in armor worn like a vest, weigh about 4 pounds each." Jim Mackiewicz, a Marine...
