Kerry's in big trouble now... the latest swiftvet ad (ad number 2) is if anything more devastating against Kerry than the first...

Kerry helped organize (with the help of the likes of Jane Fonda, David Crosby, Graham Nash, Donald Sutherland, etc) the people who testified as they did so on behalf of the organization that Kerry belonged to.

Sorry, but Kerry has culpability here.

With regards to the truth, Kerry posed a generalized statement that condemned thousands of men serving in VietNam. Where is the truth in that?

That is like saying all politicians are crooks. Some may be, while others may not be.

-- How dare you besmich a true American Hero in the name of a president who stole the election, took us to war over OIL and perpetuated lies about WMD's. Where are the WMD's. With Bush missing military records, no doubt.

In reading your comments above, I can think of one fitting line

"Pot, this is Kettle....you are black."

Bush did not lie about the intelligence estimates of the WMD's in Iraq, and this has been proven over and over again. Keep believing this if you want as this is pure rhetoric.

Bush won the election on every single count and recount, (including the independent ones conducted by Knight Ridder publications), so what you say is pure rhetoric.

"None that I know of."


My husband, my father, and I are all vets, and we all look upon GW Bush with disdain.

This is not just directed at you but all of you that are pissed off about Kerry's speaking out 30 years ago.

Kerry was a soldier that was trying to speak up against something very wrong, weather 50 people he spoke to were not military is not the point. Chances are pretty good he would have no way of knowing that. We all know that the things he spoke of then, although awfull, were very much true. Should he stand buy and say nothing and let that mess continue, without trying to make some kind of change? The things he said no doubt cut many vets deap, but had nothing been said nothing would have been done to at least attempt to put an end to this kind of awfull mess. I can't fault him for telling the truth, and in my opinion (as little as it may be worth) it was his duty to tell the truth about the illegal, awfull things, which go against the ganeva convention that were going on while he was in service. It's just very sad to me that we have learned so little that things like that are still happening in our wars today.

Isn't it weird how different people experience and feel different ways?

I dont use the Free Republic, but I would use Fox News over that or say NewsMax, or Moveon.org.

Their news coverage is probably one of the best on television with their news analysis shows being the ones that draw the controversy (most notably Hannity & Colmes).

I have read historically that the military tends to vote Republican at over a 60% rate, and did so at 64% in 2000.

I dont think the drop off is going to be severe, if at all this time either.

He should have kept his mouth shut once he found out that the NVA were using his words as a tool to try to break POW's. He didnt however, neither did Jane Fonda (although her words did not carry as much weight in the torture rooms as a veterans did).

Kerry could have handled himself in a better manner, especially since he never did produce any evidence that he himself witnessed any attoricites. If he did, and did not report them up the chain of command, he should have been courtmartialed according to military regulations. If he committed attrocities, then perhaps instead of being a Senator running for President, he should be in prison for committing war crimes.
