"Vietnam Vet for Truth": Pants on fire?

I can barely remeber what I had for dinner last night. That any of these folks are making issue of stuff from 30 years ago when they were all reckless and brave is just silly.

Kerry brought it up, as the primary reason to trust and vote for him.

People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

what I dont get, is why we arent looking more at the YEARS he spent in politics, not the MONTHS he spent in a war.

Ok, what If I spent all 10 of my post school years doing nothing, goofing off, only showing up for roughly 12% of work meetings I was supposed to be attending, then trying to convince a group to hire me as the CEO of a company just because I was my HS student council prez? Thats pretty much what he is wanting us to do.

Would you promote a person to the head of your "organization" that worked as a low level employee for a year 30 years ago, then when he left the company on workers compensation, accused it of doing illegal stuff? Then to make matters worse, when he was re-hired many years later to a more senior position, slacked off, missed meetings, and constantly reversed his decisions between the meetings he DID attend? Things like " Yes go ahead and build a new company building/No, you cant have any money from the budget to build the building"

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he did serve valliantly 30 YEARS AGO. but that is just that... 30 years of HISTORY. I think we should look more on his political history, than his war record.

As for the "inconsistencies" in Thurlow's bronze star app... The award was based on info Kerry submitted for his own bronze star. Thurlow and others got them automatically because they were a part of the operation (according to Kerry). The commendation would not have the detailed info in it, just something generic like "for heroic actions on date such and such, at place blankety blank". He would have had to have requested the after action report to see all the details that Kerry submitted. He assumed it was for helping to do damage control to the sinking boat, and nothing more valliant than that.


And "lies funded by a Texas Republican Millionaire"? Two words: "George Soros" (who is quoted as saying that he would spend his entire fortune if he could GUARANTEE a win) . So now we are playing "my millionare is better than your millionare???" Millions are spent by Moveon.org, Soros, etc. then after a single commercial costing around 250,000 the dems cry foul????

Come on guys... Its time to cut the ancient history crap, and start looking at more realistic near term histories. What has Bush acheived in the last 15 years? How about Kerry?

and for the record, not a huge fan of either candidate.... I am a libertarian. I'll probably vote Bush, as I find him the lesser of the evils. They're all a bunch of rich sleazeballs...

(its late, so sorry about the rambling)


speaking of lawyers... can anyone else think of a profession where you need to hire one to protect yourself from another one? Realtors are the only ones I can think of, but once again, it all comes down to legal stuff...

Two wrongs don't make a right, however three lefts DO!

You seem to have missed the point that Kerry wrote up his recommendation along with Kerry Writting Up His Own!

Not typical, is it??????????

There is also the small point that bulletholes were found (per the USN report) in his boat after the action.

If his medal citation is a lie, how come it took him 30 years to realize it?
