Why is Kerry hiding his Military record

If he's got nothing to hide, why won't he sign a Form 180 which authorizes release of all his records?

As you say, let's leave the 70's behind, shall we?

The reason why Kerry WON'T:

Bush has SERVED honorably as Commander in Chief of our armed forces since 2001.

That really gets to the Kerry-lovers who are supporting an AWOL senator, a morally bankrupt human being, and a PROVEN liar, deserter and traitor -- by his OWN admission.

I am SO happy to see Kerry's plummeting polls.

I really dont care about the Purple Heart, but lying about Cambodia is a little more serious, and the attacks on the Veterans when he returned from Vietnam is definitely open to question and scorn.

Actually it is because there is not a great deal else Kerry can run on.

They are very similary in the lines of education and health care, where they want to increase government spending to get more people health coverage, and improve the schools.

The only other difference is taxation, where Kerry wants to increase taxes on those making more than $200,000., but it isnt exactly the platform that you want to run on. "Vote for me and I will raise your taxes".

It wouldnt get my vote.

Bush did not brag about his record Kerry did. Three scatches and he was on his way home from V. N. My husband was shot there and he stayed 11 months. Bush has nothing to prove.

I disagree. When you are impuning the honor and integrity of another person, and this person being an honored Viet Nam Vet, you better not be living in a glass house. This emporer has no clothes.

Where has Bush ever said anything negative about Kerry's service?

I bet you can't find a single quote of Bush's where he did impune Kerry's service.

Sorry, but as usual...no facts to back up what you claim.

All I've seen or heard Bush do is PRAISE Kerry's military service. The only thing he has ever said negative about Kerry is about his voting record in the Senate, which is fair game. Kerry is the one going around attacking Bush on his NG service.

I agree too and feel the same way about war. But yet we have only found three of the hijackers (if I'm wrong please correct me) and still no WMD right? If they were having WMD's and they started going in war in 2001 wouldn't they have been found now or something? *shrug* I'm just still not sure about the real reasons behind Bush going to war. I hope at the debates they ask about all this. XOXO.

That is because that is all Kerry and McAulliffe can do.

When he attacks Bush on the things he did (like he did in Detroit, questioning the Bush tax cuts), Kerry usually gets things wrong.

he said that it was the growth of the late 90's and the low interest rates that got the economy moving again. Oooops.... I guess Kerry forgot that the country was in the beginning of a recession when Bush was sworn into office, and then 9/11 compounded that situation.

I guess Kerry also forgot what Allan Greenspan said last week, when he said that Bush's tax cuts were timed perfectly and have jump started the economy on the road to a strong recovery.

Arent the hijackers all dead???

With regards to the WMD's, many in the intelligence community feel that whatever was not destroyed, may have been moved to Syria, which is not exactly a comforting thought.
