Read it again, Doug (I've done it twice now). I DID NOT EDIT A
THING.


Apologies. I had to read it again: twice!

I guess that some people around here need to get out on their bikes a
bit more.

If I may use your idiom:

Thanks. (You guys almost had me convinced I *had* snipped something!)

The trouble is that the wrong Kerry is running. Bob Kerry one can respect
and admire while disagreeing with him. The pond scum John Kerry's behavior:
self-glorifying lies about his delusional activities during his short 4
months in Vietnam, insulting our troops with outrageous war crimes charges,
and then offering aid and comfort to the enemy meeting with them in France
(while our POW's were being abused by them) is so far beyond the pale... It
is disgusting he was nominated by the Democrats. We have a traitor running
for president thanks to the Democrat primary voters. Nice. Very nice.

What the devil is with the Democrats? They could have nominated Joe
Lieberman, an honorable man that anyone would be satisfied to have as
president, Republican or Democrat, and they nominate the self-serving
traitorous liar John Kerry. His own campaign has had to disavow his repeated
nonsense about his life being turned around by being illegally ordered by
Nixon into Cambodia with his river patrol boat. The boat wasn't there and
Nixon wasn't even president. Democrats had a lot of fun with Reagan's lapses
where he confused movie scripts with real memories. But at least his stories
were meant to uplift the human spirit by giving positive examples of human
behavior. Kerry's self-serving stories are meant to make Kerry look
good...which he's not. He's no Ron Reagan...or Jack Kennedy, for that
matter. Jack Kennedy was a patriot and he would puke at the thought of scum
like Kerry running for president.

There are a lot more people who would be happy to vote against bad-luck Bush
if the Democrats ran a respectable candidate instead of John Kerry.

claims:

Are you saying that Kerry is bilingual? As opposed to Dubya who has
not even mastered English yet? ;-)

I am saying that Mr. Kerry speaks French fluently.
BTW, is another meaning of "bilingual" an ability to state a
belief, then after a little while, flip-flop to an opposite belief?
As in having "two tongues"?


No, that's called growing with experience.


Then he should be about twelve feet tall by now with all those
beliefs of his that change about every day or so.

Or, possibly, being a two faced hypocrite.

But that's something each person has to decide for themselves by taking a

long
hard look at the circumstances. They shouldn't base their opinion simply

on the
fact that someone has changed their mind.


True. I actually like Kerry. No, wait, I don't like Kerry. But
on the other hand, I do like Kerry. Well, until now that is. I changed
my mind about liking Kerry before I decided I like him... not. Where
was I? Gee, I just grew a couple of inches with that experience.




Good day. Or as John Kerry would say, bonjour.

When you talk about self-serving socialist liars in Congress, Ted Kennedy,
Joe Lieberman, Chuck Schumer, Diane Fienstein, and John Kerry are the
first names that come to my mind.
Your comment reminds me of an opinion column I recently read which claimed
that John McLain was one of the most universally respected members of
the Senate. As far as I'm concerned, you can lump McLain in with the
Constitution hating trash mentioned above.

4 months of the most dangerous work in the war, bar none. Kerry did not
ask for awards, this is not how the military operates. A superior
officier, who may or may not be delusional, I'll admit, must submit a
recommendation which is then investigated before any awards are given
(even purple hearts). But then, those with a political axe to grind
don't care much about truth.

As to the charges that the boats violated the borders of Laos and
Cambodia, there is no denying that it happened, and it happened frequently.

From "http://www.johnkerry.com/rapidresponse/080504_truth.html"
"These reports contain the details of the four boats involved in these
actions on March, 13. 1969-including Kerry's boat PCF-94."

Which puts Kerry in a boat, in Vietnam, a year after Nixon was elected.
I don't know where you get your facts, probably from SBVT (who have yet
to put forth a creditable piece of evidence - even the doctor who
reported that he treated Kerry's first wound is not one of those on the
official Navy reports.

I'm not a huge Kerry fan, but haven't enough lies been spread already?
The Navy keeps meticulous records (despite their many faults), and
follows established procedures for granting metals. In no branch of
service, not even the Texas Air National Guard, do personal grant
themselves metals for valor or injury.

....drivel deleted

Kennedy enlisted. Like Kerry, he joined the Navy and served on the boats
with the highest casualty rate in that war. Kerry also enlisted,
volunteered for duty in Vietnam, on the boats with the highest casualty
rate in the war. Say what you will about the man's beliefs and the like,
but he bravely served his country in a very unpopular war. That US
servicemen crossed the borders into Laos and Cambodia is well
documented. I have no doubt that Kerry, whose boat was partolling those
borders (since the river was the border), found himself crossing both
sides of the river on a daily basis. I know several Navy Seals who were
extracted by Swift boats and PBR's, most of whom were highly
appreciative of their encroachment into these neighbor states.

So, accuse Kerry of lying, but not about his war record. The man put it
on the line, which is more than you can say about most.

LOL! The idea that there are any socialists at all in US politics is
very amusing indeed! Your choice in 2004, as ever, is between the
right and the far right.

Guy, Hitler was a socialist too.

Our two main choices (we have others, and I'm not voting for either
of these two) are liberal/communist/socialist and neoconservative/
fascist/socialist. Both of them want to expand our federal government,
which has already grown to about 10-20x the limits supposedly imposed
on it by our Constitution. If you think Kerry is right-wing, I must
agree with you strongly. He's in the top 10 of leftist nutcases in
our Congress. (although, for all I know, he might be among the most
right-wing if he became a MP)

So he said (actually a "national-socialist" which is different in that
it embodies extreme nationalism). He wasn't terribly keen on
Communists, as I recall... I always find it amazing that people are
prepared to take Hitler's words on trust in that one matter :-)

It isn't that simple, of course - http://www.politicalcompass.org/

Or actually relevant, unless you were trying to Godwinate the thread?

You need to compare your "socialists" with some actual socialists, I
think. The centre of US politics is well to the right of the global
average, in most respects, anyway. Kerry's "left-wing" policies are
in line with many centre-right European parties.

Gee yes. If the D's had run anything decent or someone fine like Kerrey
(Bob) I think the vote for the D's would be almost unanimous.

As it is, the D's have managed to find a piece of pond scum I wouldn't
ever vote or or have loyalty to in this POS candidate. Incredibly, I'm
voting Bush not because of Bush, but because I'll never stand the misery
of slimey kerry and worse edwards - the trial lawyer turd.

I agree on the AZ dirtbag, but his point was that there are good D's
like Bob Kerrey and I agree. We sure don't have anything decent in this
D ticket, tho.
