HEAD UP: Kerry speech expected live at 11am est..will confront Swift Boat Vets and Bush..

Posted on 08/24/2004 7:46:47 AM PDT by ken5050

Fox will cover the speech live...one key question..will Kerry take questions from the press. Will he be asked to release his contemporaneous diaries? Will he be asked to release his complete military records? Will he attempt to mitigate his hideous testimony to the Senate accusing Americans of War crimes?..Will he say he was wrong about being in Cambodia?

Will he concur with his own campaign's statement yesterday that one PH may have been self-inflicted?

Will Teresa be there at his side...

Oh, yeah..one personal question..does Kerry have a dog?.. ( Do NOT say MamaT!!) Can SAmerica elect a president who doesn't like pets? Opine, and comment here......

Why is Kerry running soo scared? People don't want to hear him and his crying about Swift Boat! Doesn't he know that already? Just get on with your campaigning Kerry and stop the crocodile tears!

The Note says he will say:

"The Bush campaign and its allies have turned to the tactics of fear and smear because they can't talk about jobs, health care, energy independence, and rebuilding our alliances — the real issues that matter to the American people. They have no plans, no positive vision and no understanding of an urgent and undeniable truth — a stronger America begins at home."

He is an idiot to keep blaming Bush. The Swift Boats have already come out and said that they don't support either Bush or Kerry. He's putting words in their mouths and Bush's mouth again. STOP THE CROCODILE TEARS KERRY!

Will he be asked, "How are you and the family holding up against these illegal and scurrilous charges being thrown at you by the Bush campaign team, even in the face of the overwhelming evidence that you have told the truth 100% and are a true War hero? Does it hurt to be hated because you are so wonderful?

Oh here it comes again... the vicitm card. Poor pitiful Kerry, everyone is beating up on him. Can Kerry people be so stupid as to think that his Vietnam doings would not be questioned? Or did they expect to play the victim card all along while they play search and destroy with their own 527s. Being a vicitim in the party of victims is what it is all about for those people. The press goes along for a Dickensian ride because they love a good victim story.

He'll reveal yet more "damning" proof that the Bush campaign is orchestrating the Swifties - that's about all he can do now.

All Kerry needs to do is sign only little piece of paper and release ALL of his military records. He won't do it because it will expose him for the liar that he is.

Will Old Media ask ONE SINGLE question like: Senatory Kerry, when will you release ALL of your military records?

Old Media won't. But New Media has and will continue to ask the important questions.

Old Media is as dead as Old Europe and the UN.

Nope. The media will focus on the 527s and the alleged connections between Bush and the Swifties. They will not asak the tough questions of Kerry. Just watch.

here's my fearless prediction..Kerry's trotting out newly discovered "vets" to support his story, because he's really hurting from the SBV ads...because of the haste, they aren't being properly "vetted"..( pun intended)...ands one or more will turn out not to have been there at all..

I think for too long Kerry has relied on ...

Sounds like he is going to try one more time. But what is he going to do when they don't stop?

It would all go away if he would release his records. Why won't he? Doesn't cost him anything, or does it?

There were a lot of funny threads yesterday at DU, particularly one where they were blaming each other for picking Kerry over Dean. But there was also a thread that said Oliphant was going to drop a bombshell today on Bush, I think. Anyone else heard that?

Cripes what a jackass. Can't Kerry see that the he's the one who has made this as big an issue as it has become? The more he brings it up, the more people figure he must be hiding something.

Will he concur with his own campaign's statement yesterday that one PH may have been self-inflicted?

But, more importantly, the entry in Kerry's own journal, written 9 days later, where he writes that he and his crew, "hadn't been shot at yet."

"hadn't been shot at yet."

That is the smoking gun.

The Purple Heart requirements allows the award of a Purple Heart for self inflicted wounds.......but only those self-inflicted wounds were received "in the heat of battle".

How could Kerry possibly have been "in the heat of battle" while never having been "shot at yet"?

*********************************

Purple Heart Requirements

5) Examples of injuries or wounds which clearly do not qualify for award of the Purple Heart are as follows:

(a) Frostbite or trench foot injuries.

(b) Heat stroke.

(c) Food poisoning not caused by enemy agents.

(d) Chemical, biological, or nuclear agents not released by the enemy.

(e) Battle fatigue.

(f) Disease not directly caused by enemy agents.

(g) Accidents, to include explosive, aircraft, vehicular, and other accidental wounding not related to or caused by enemy action.

(h) Self-inflicted wounds, except when in the heat of battle, and not involving gross negligence.
