Yep .. and watch for the spin with how he handles it

[lainde]

Thanks for keeping us updated. Legs, I pray this story gets LEGS!!

[soozla]

....but he voted FOR IT before he voted AGAINST it...right???? ;^)

[Stultis]

Kerry voted no.

But doesn't a "no" vote actually mean that Kerry strongly supports a measure? After all he strongly supported funding the troops and reconstruction in Afghanistan and Iraq for fiscal '04 by voting against it, and Helms-Burton (re Cuba) in '96 by voting against it, and the Iraq War in '91 by voting against it, among many other examples.

after of course voting for the resolution to assassinate the senators on the merit that it would support the death tax...

Oh my......I was referring to the Kerry camp's minimizing this horrific concept.

[antiRepublicrat]

If John Kerry attended such a meeting, he has far more to answer than how he voted. </rant>

It's no rant -- he was involved with a group that seriously considered committing major felonies, and was present at the meeting in which one was considered. But I'd bet the statute of limitations has run out for any conspiracy charge.

I've been trying to find out what Kerry's wounds were, exactly. Do you know?

[Blood of Tyrants]

He hasn't released his medical or military records. But I believe that two boo-boos and an owie are not an understatement.

Here is a clip from a Boston Globe story, June 2003

John Kerry | CANDIDATE IN THE MAKING PART 2
Heroism, and growing concern about war
By Michael Kranish, Globe Staff, 6/16/2003
"Kerry had been wounded three times and received three Purple Hearts. Asked about the severity of the wounds, Kerry said that one of them cost him about two days of service, and that the other two did not interrupt his duty. "Walking wounded," as Kerry put it. A shrapnel wound in his left arm gave Kerry pain for years. Kerry declined a request from the Globe to sign a waiver authorizing the release of military documents that are covered under the Privacy Act and that might shed more light on the extent of the treatment Kerry needed as a result of the wounds."

Makes one wonder which way Mr. Kerry voted..

Both ways of course!

Guess I need to pay more attention to your tagline! :>)

"Or what????"

And this is the kind of scum the democRATs think should run the country and be in the most powerful position in the world. Couldn't we have hearing to have them declared incompetent? I mean, we do it with individuals; why not with a political party?
