And by the way - when John Kerry went from "Bring it on..." to "Stop it their picking on me..." he pretty much lost the whole "ability to lead" thing as well...

Here's hoping.

Everything the Kerry campaign is doing to try and get at the Swift Boat Vets is turning into nothing but a HUGE PR campaign for the Swifties.

Honest, sincere, seekers of the truth look at both sides in order to see what the big uproar is about. Those that do contrast Kerry and his attack dogs and their rabid attempts to smear the Swifties with the detailed, documented and reasonably presented information of the Swifties.

This is a big time loser for Kerry...as well it should be.

In essence, the Kerry campaign is funding the PR for the swifties.

The best thing Kerry could have done was to ignore it and mitigate the damage to what the Swifites could afford themselves.

But Kerry and his ilk love a lie and so they must attack...and thereby bring more and more attention to the issue...and to the truth.

SOOO very good. Like an intelligent sports bar version of Steyn.

The cool morning mist settled over the Cambodian border. The engine hummed, moving the swift boat slowly through the mined river. They weren't supposed to be here. It wasn't supposed to be this way. An illegal war conducted by President Nixon. It didn't make sense. Everything about this mission was wrong.

Lt. Kerry's mission was an impossible one. Find and silence Colonel Kurtz. Why had Colonel Kurtz fled to Cambodia? What madness had driven him to this? And why had they chosen him?

It didn't matter now. Now he had to find Colonel Kurtz. He had to silence this loose cannon. Something had to be done. Was he the man to do it? He didn't know. The personal demons had haunted him for far too long. He wanted to be patriotic. He needed to be patriotic. But a political career lay in wait for him back in the States.

Suddenly, the swift boat left the air from the thrust of the mine. Lt. Kerry didn't hestitate. He didn't second guess. He floored the throttle in retreat, hearing a scream from the stern. He looked back to see Jim Rassman in the water.

Could he leave him? Jim was just along for the ride. A ride taking them deep into the Cambodian jungle in search of a madman. The second passed, but Lt. Kerry knew he could leave no man behind.

The fifty caliber machine gun fire barked loudly from the shoreline. Then, he remembered it. He reached in his duffle bag at his side and pulled out his 8mm camera. He jerked the steering, turning the boat around and yelling, "Let's go boys. We're only gonna have one take at this!"

:) HA!

John Kerry and his Waaambulance! What a crying, goofy and weak douchebag.

Kerry remains an embarrassment to America, as he's proven his allegiances the the EU and UN, first and foremost.

Hey, johnnie -- You said "Bring it on!"

Add to that the fact that Bush is polling 28% of the African American vote in California and 43% of the Latino vote in that same state

Say what? What poll is this from?

"I'm John Kerry and I'm running ... for cover!"

J.F. Kerry, he's a clown
That J.F. Kerry, he's a clown
He's gonna get caught
Just you wait and see

"Why's everybody always pickin' on me?"

[visualops]

And according to polls out this weekend it looks like his position on Partial Birth abortion (he supports it), Live Birth Abortion (he supports it), Abortion on demand (he supports it), and aggressively promoting the gay agenda and ready to do the bidding of the "same sex marriage" lobby (he supports them all) - the Catholics have had it with him too.

Our parish priest today mentioned prominently in his homily today, that a Catholic politician who who supports abortion, or who votes for funding for abortion, is supporting evil. He said Catholics who support a politician because he is pro-abortion, or who support a politician so that abortion will stay legal, are supporting evil. (He said more than that but I can't remember his exact words)
I have seen at least 2 cars at my church with pro-Kerry bumper stickers.

With all this Swift Boat stuff we'll probably never get to his business experience.

LOL... Great stuff.

[VisualizeSmallerGovernment]

Add to that the fact that Bush is polling 28% of the African American vote in California and 43% of the Latino vote in that same state and this all just has to make you hate life.

Holy cow! When did this happen? Anyone have a link? I must have missed the blazing headline in the New York Times.

That is a great editorial. While the author is obviously right-leaning, it does illustrate an important point:

Right now, questioning John Kerry is a much more target-rich environment than questioning George W. Bush. All the big guns have been launched at Bush. Even the Kerry camp is regurgitating the National Guard stuff, which is 4 years old.

My Favorite post for dims and trolls
who slither in here each day.
And the Lame Stream media
who find the real news on Free Republic,
then rewrite and spin the truth.

Mommy Heinz!
Help!

Look what the Washington Post said on 8/21/04

"Although Kerry campaign officials insist that they have published Kerry's full military records on their Web site (with the exception of medical records shown briefly to reporters earlier this year), they have not permitted independent access to his original Navy records. A Freedom of Information Act request by The Post for Kerry's records produced six pages of information. A spokesman for the Navy Personnel Command, Mike McClellan, said he was not authorized to release the full file, which consists of at least a hundred pages. "

John Kerry: A Navy Dove Runs for Congress
By SAMUEL Z. GOLDHABER
Crimson Staff Writer

"...One time Kerry was ordered to destroy a Viet Cong village
but disobeyed orders and suggested that the Navy Command
simply send in a Psychological Warfare team to be
friend the villagers with food, hospital supplies,
and better educational facilities."


Now my shipmates on the
USS GRIDLEY CG-21
are attacking me.

Click Here Mommy
and see what
the USS GRIDLEY crew say.

They say I told lies in Tour of Duty
GRIDLEY CREW ARE LIKE
SWIFT BOAT VETS MEANIES!

MY real book here, right now, online FREE!!
I'm so proud of it!
The New Soldier,
By John Kerry
and Vietnam Veterans
Against the War


Mommy : Please don't be mad
about my hero Al Hubbard.

Head of Kerry's Vietnam Vets Against the War was Vietnam Vet phony
"Many of the stories were later shown to be fictional. Other so-called Vietnam veterans, such as the executive secretary of VVAW, Al Hubbard, a self-styled poet ("See what you've become, Amerika," ends one of his Vietnam odes),
turned out to have no record of service in Vietnam."


Mommy : Why does McCain
still campaign with Bush?
Mommy : Why doesn't Al Gore defend me?
He is a Vietnam Vet.

Mommy : Did Hillary
"leak" FBI Files on me?
I even used her famous slogan?

"Kerry entered and abandoned Vietnamese village and slaughtered domestic animals
owned by the civilians and burned down their homes with his Zippo lighter."



It only takes one idiot to raze a village!
(My original response!)

Mommy : Where is Ted Kennedy?

Dean! Dean! Dean!

That's what I heard at the convention, while I was selling my tasty treats.

They don't WANT this guy, it is "Anybody but Bush". They will pull the stops and trash Kerry in the meantime, they don't care about him, at all.

Damage is what they want to accomplish, wait until the upcoming Convention, Libs like to make a scene, and we are in for "Theater of the Weird"

John Kerry the first Speed Bump Presidential Candidate

[jocon307]

Excellent, excellent post.

[weegee]

And by the way - when John Kerry went from "Bring it on..." to "Stop it their picking on me..." he pretty much lost the whole "ability to lead" thing as well...

I think we have just got a glimpse of Kerry's secret National Security plan: cry "Stop picking on US!"

[K1avg]

This has been a very good weekend for Bush and the SBV. If the current momentum holds, Bush could have a 2-3% lead going into the convo.

If Kerry keeps digging himself into this hole, he's through.

I'm happy. Anyone else?
