Kerry Attacks McCain
Power Line ^ | 9/5/04

Posted on 09/05/2004 8:28:21 PM PDT by Brian Mosely

John McCain has done John Kerry a huge favor by helping him to fend off the Swifties. In fact, McCain's endorsement of Kerry, based in part on what McCain has characterized as their friendship, has been by far Kerry's best defense against the vets.

Now Kerry has repaid McCain by accusing him of being a liar. A reader has pointed out to us (and a number of other bloggers) that Kerry's website</> is carrying a press release titled: "The 2004 GOP Convention: Four Days Filled With Lies, Mischaracterizations, Distortions, And Half-Truths." No fewer than four of the lies and mischaracterizations were in McCain's speech.

Talk about a gang that can't shoot straight. The last thing John Kerry should do is annoy McCain. If McCain turns on him, he's in real trouble.

Ironically, in addition to being counterproductive as it relates to McCain, the Kerry press release is completely ineffective. All it does is quote a long list of statements from speeches at the GOP convention with which Kerry disagrees, with no attempt at response or refutation. So there is nothing gained to balance out the risk of alienating McCain.

seppuku was an act of honor.

Something John Kerry knows nothing of.

He's the type who'd just off himself.

Are these McCain's lies?


Bush Has Done A Good Job With Our Allies.

10. Senator John McCain: “My friends in the Democratic Party and I'm fortunate to call many of them my friends assure us they share the conviction that winning the war against terrorism is our government's most important obligation. I don't doubt their sincerity. They emphasize that military action alone won't protect us, that this war has many fronts: in courts, financial institutions, in the shadowy world of intelligence, and in diplomacy. They stress that America needs the help of her friends to combat an evil that threatens us all, that our alliances are as important to victory as are our armies. We agree. And, as we've been a good friend to other countries in moments of shared perils, so we have good reason to expect their solidarity with us in this struggle. That is what the President believes. And, thanks to his efforts we have received valuable assistance from many good friends around the globe, even if we have, at times, been disappointed with the reactions of some.”

11. Senator John McCain: “Our President will work with all nations willing to help us defeat this scourge that afflicts us all.”

Bush Did It Right Going to War Against Iraq.

12. Senator John McCain: “However just the cause, we should shed a tear for all that is lost when war claims its wages from us. But there is no avoiding this war. We tried that, and our reluctance cost us dearly. And while this war has many components, we can't make victory on the battlefield harder to achieve so that our diplomacy is easier to conduct.”

13. Senator John McCain: “After years of failed diplomacy and limited military pressure to restrain Saddam Hussein, President Bush made the difficult decision to liberate Iraq. Those who criticize that decision would have us believe that the choice was between a status quo that was well enough left alone and war. But there was no status quo to be left alone. “

A month has gone by and the Traitor has not responded to any of the allegations by the Swiftees...

We already know that two of the Purple Hearts and the "V" on the Silver Star were all erroneously awarded.

Now the Navy is going to completely go over the Traitor's military record and by the time they get through investigating it, the Traitor will be lucky if he is allowed to keep his "firewatch" ribbon. LMAO

You can put a fork in that turkey, 'cause the clown is D O N E !

Semper Fi,
Kelly
