"...the war in Vietnam was folly, unwinnable, a quagmire."
And just to prove this point, McGovern went on to win a landslide victory in 1972, followed in a few years by Michael Dukakis' victory.
If you view things through Massa chu settes' eyes.
The media is riddled with Massachusettes' opinions. Even in Atlanta, Georgia.

His (Kerry's) rhetoric, as he concedes, was over the top.Well at least I found one accurate sentence in this hit piece.

That honorable definition may be returning to vogue as the war in Iraq grows increasingly unpopular. Come November the criminal dnc will awaken to realize that Americans don't appreciate the degenerrate dnc doing everything they can to fertilize and amplify this 'unpopular' notion. What the dnc and pigs like Teddy Kennedy and John Kerry accomplish with their constant call for 'regime change' in America amounts to aiding and encouraging the enemies trying to kill our Soldiers. I won't forget that treachery by the dnc goon squads come November. I'm betting a vast majority of my fellow voting Americans will not forget it either! Fat Teddy is encouraging a deadly enemy to fight on in hopes of pigs like Kennedy and Kerry helping them change America. Treachery against the unborn got Al Gore a seat at the back of the power bus. With what the Kennedys and Kerrys are now doing to get more of our Soldiers killed by encouraging our enemies, the entire of their party is due for the dumpster.

Is there any evidence that the "whisper campaign" against McCain in South Carolina is anything other than an urban legend? I'd like to know this myself. My gf, God love her, comes from a union Democrat family and up to this point has gotten all of her news from CNN and the like. She's among those who think there was some conspiracy to oust McCain in SC. If you find anything, could you drop me a line? Thanks.

What it the Cheneys did use family planning to obtain a deferrment; how is that any different than Kerry gaming the system with "three purple hearts and you're out" to avoid the last eight months of his deployment? Apparently, both were legitimate ways of avoiding service. And can we please leave Chelsea out of it? It demeans us to stoop to Tucker's level, IMHO.

Not only was it over the top - IT WAS UNDER OATH. It is very telling that Kerry can be confronted with these statements, made under oath and he just skirts the veracity of them - by saying that, stylistically, it was inappropriate. Unfortunately there are no journalists with the stones to to simply ask him if his testimony was true or false - not this flavor or shading or that - simply true or false. Than he's in the box because his testimony was give under oath.

What does the 16 week comment mean? Two/ 2-man crews who were squadron mates of mine were in that garden spot never seen by the President, Vice-Pres. or anyone else in the administration, except Gen. Powell, managed to stay there only a few weeks. One lasted 5 weeks and the other 9 weeks. Three of the four were sent home in flag-draped coffins and the fourth man has, since early 1966, exchanged his flight suit for a wheel chair. Do we castigate those gentlemen by telling their families (and the children of two) that their service was unworthy because they were not there long enough? I've seen stupid comments on this---all too often. But that one must go to the top of the list

Kerry is an elitist comsymp francophile douchebag, and he and his kind are not going to suceed in losing the WOT like they did in losing Vietnam.
