The photo at right was displayed on the website of Boston Capital & Technology and shows Senator John Kerry on an outsourcing trade mission he led to China. The BCT website, as of this posting, has been removed from the internet. We've captured as much of the website as we could, but some images now appear as broken links. Captured on our hard drive, however, is the picture from the BCT website showing Senator John Kerry at a banquet in Beijing China during the outsourcing trade mission. The BCT web site, presumably owned and operated by a Paul Marcus, head...

GRUMBLING FROM THE KERRY PRESS CORPS: This is from a Kerry pool report about the candidate's departure from Springfield, Oregon that was just e-mailed to reporters. It about sums up how the national press traveling with Kerry feels these days. kerry walked through the crowd, tickling babies and talking to folks. But traveling pool was not allowed nearer than a telephoto lens, so we don't really know what was said. Local press however seemed to be allowed to wander freely. So, why are we paying all this $$$ again? In many ways, Kerry's press aides are extremely attentive to the...

Odd how sometimes thing jog ones memory. I thought of Joe W. yesterday. I hadn't thought of him in a long, long time. He is a Swift Boat Veteran. He used to be my shipmate on the USS Corry DD-817 In Jan of '68 we just finished a shakedown cruise in Gitmo, followed by 6 weeks at the 3 mile limit to Havana. After constant General Quarters conditions with Cuban gunboats Joe W. said something like "I'd give anything to get off this tin can." (We already knew we were going to Viet Nam in Aug of '68) "Why don't...

John Kerry has undergone so many contortions to avoid admitting he lied when he told the Senate in 1986 that President Nixon had illegally ordered him to enter Cambodia. (The Dem slogan seems to be: If in doubt, blame Nixon). For John Kerry to have successfully maintained his Cambodian fiction his lie would have had to be difficult or impossible to refute. The Cambodian lie revealed that Kerry really is not that bright. To state that Nixon ordered him into Cambodia when in fact the then-president was L. B. Johnson was an incredibly stupid thing to do. If nothing else...

John Kerry must be feeling the heat because he was forced to wheel out Vietnam vet Jim Rassman to defend him. Rassman devoted about 700 words of a 1000 word article describing how Kerry fished him out of a river, and what a great guy John Kerry is. Rassman devoted the rest of the article to accusing John Kerry's vet critics of being part of a "Republican smear campaign", of being "dishonest and dishonorable", "without decency" and being "vicious" liars. This, readers, is a Democrat's idea of a debate. The tactic is capture the high moral ground by overwheling your...

This is the type of commercial the pubs should be running, but won't. It's devastating for Kerry and shows him to be the lying, cowardly traitor that he is. WE FREEPERS NEED TO DO OUR PART TO MAKE SURE IT STAYS ON THE AIR UNTIL THE ELECTION! Click here to view the video!

The RNC has a new website for the documentary of Kerry's flip-flops on the Iraq war, www.kerryoniraq.com. The documentary has been updated to include footage of Kerry's nomination acceptance speech. At the site, you can request a copy of the documentary to show to friends and neighbors, report on screenings of the documentary, get a transcript of the film, and submit a review The site already has some killer reviews from the debut last week: Rudy Giuliani, Former Mayor Of New York City: "Every American Should See This." "The tape that I saw before, which I urge Ed to show...

There’s dissention in the ranks and the smell of mutiny on deck as a parade of Vietnam veterans who served with and/or knew John Kerry in Vietnam come forward to denounce him as a leader, officer and veteran. This situation has helped becalm Kerry’s already some say foundering campaign warship, which got little if any boost from the Democratic National Convention and which also got about the same result from Kerry’s selection of John Edwards as his vice-presidential running mate. Kerry’s latest headache is followed by frustrating events like Shove-It-Gate, Sandy Berger’s light-fingers episode in the National Archives, and Kerry’s...

"Unfit for Command": A Review Posted by McQ I’ve read “Unfit for Command”. That’s the easy part. Since then I’ve been struggling to find a way to explain why this is so important to many of us out here to those who don’t find it to be important.

Kerry defends his '70s anti-war activities KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Sen. John F. Kerry [related, bio] expressed pride in his 1970s antiwar activism yesterday as controversy continued to swirl over a TV ad accusing him of betraying his fellow veterans when he protested the Vietnam war. ``I stood up against the war in the 1970s,'' Kerry said. ``Some people still don't like that, and they're still trying to fight that. That's 35 years old. But I'm proud of what I did to stand up. And I learned a lot.'' A group calling itself Swift Boat Veterans for the Truth launched...

Democratic presidential nominee John F. Kerry and wife Teresa Heinz Kerry are not quite on the same script when it comes to whether President Bush responded appropriately in the stunned first moments when he learned on Sept. 11, 2001, that a plane had struck the World Trade Center. On Thursday, Kerry told a convention of minority journalists that he would have reacted more decisively to the news than Bush, who continued reading with a group of Florida schoolchildren for seven minutes after an aide whispered the news into his ear. It's a scene that filmmaker Michael Moore uses to skewer...

It’s been a LONG time and almost everything has changed. So there’s not much left that can make me think back to my college years. But John Kerry forced the issue last week by siccing his attack lawyers on assorted TV stations. Say what? Here’s how it happened. Swift Boat Veterans for Truth started running an ad in which several of their members stood up, faced the camera, gave their name, rank and serial numbers, and called John Kerry a liar about his service in Vietnam. This veterans’ organization has 260 members and Rear Admiral Roy Hoffmann (ret.), is its...

According to Benjamin Franklin himself, many of the proverbs and aphorisms found in "Poor Richard's Almanack" were gleaned from the "wisdom of the ages and nations." In the dictums and maxims that follow, one hears echoes of the Bible, the ancients, and collections of proverbs readily available in Franklin's own time. Yet, in recrafting many older sayings, Franklin, who was among other things an inventor and musician, brought new design and melody to timeworn truisms. Franklin once created a list of 13 virtues to live by. This baker's dozen included temperance, silence, order, resolution, frugality, industry, sincerity, justice, moderation, cleanliness,...

The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth have hired their own lawyers in response to the Kerry/Edwards campaign's threat of ruinous lawsuits for anyone who allows the independent 527 to purchase ad time at their media outlet. For some reason, the Democrats seem to have a problem with the actual practice of free speech, even after having their party chairman, Terry McAuliffe, call George Bush a deserter and John Kerry question the quality of his National Guard service. When the shoe moves to the other foot, suddenly the Democrats switch from "Bring It On" to "We'll Sue You Into Silence," quite...

Posted on Sun, Aug. 08, 2004 The Bush reaction that really matters By Mark Davis Special to the Star-Telegram If his Vietnam veteran critics' stories develop any legs, we may soon spend some time assessing whether John Kerry is blowing huge clouds of smoke our way about his Vietnam service. A group, Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, asserts that Kerry's medals are phony, as are his stories of valor and honorable service in his four months in a combat zone. I have no idea what to think of these accusations. I would neither embrace nor dismiss them without further examination....

John Kerry is either a "war hero" or a "war criminal" Can't have it both ways. John Kerry and War Crimes in Vietnam He was in command of a Swift Boat and ordered his men to do these things. Listen to this 1971 audio clip in Kerry's own words. LONG BEFORE THE '04 Election Listen Here John Kerry went before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations in 1971 to accuse the United States military of committing massive numbers of war crimes in Vietnam. So my question is did Kerry lie about his "heroism" or the "atrocities" that he took part...

The swiftvets cannot let RAThack Donna Brazille get away with this incredible lie this morning on FOX News with Chris Wallace. Mary Matalin and Brazille were debating the controversy, when Brazille actually said the following -- "These are hired guns who went after John McCain." The Swiftvets had nothing to do with John McCain. Brazille must be forced to retract this statement that she knows is false.

The Democrat National Committee has prepared a full-scale assault against the Vietnam Veterans for Truth to draw their character and veracity into question, according to one anonymous source inside the DNC. The campaign of character assassination is scheduled to coincide with the release of the book Unfit for Command which reveals inconvenient facts for the Kerry campaign. “We have prepared what we call ‘Brown Books’ that contain damaging military records, personal credit histories, medical histories, psychiatric histories, divorce records, you name it,” our source told us. The “Brown Books” are so-called because of their distinctive plain brown covers, which contain...
