Wanna be hero, wanna be Senator, wanna be rich, wanna be President. Kerry has the character of a leech!
Bump.
just my thoughts -
You think good
Kerry: That's great. More power. I don't know how they've done it, because my record is not public. So I don't know where you're getting that from.
www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6354942 He just put the lie to himself, after having insisted many times over the last eight months that ALL of his military records have been released and made public on his website. Can you say "Dishonorable Discharge, rescinded and made Honorable by Jimmy Carter for a sitting Democrat Senator" boys and girls?
I wish I could be as hopeful as you are, but...
We live in a post-Clinton America. Sure, lots of us were utterly disgusted by this man's behavior. HOWEVER, millions thought nothing of what Clinton did, if they thought of it at all. The lack of condemnation by more Americans of such a clearly corrupt president goes a long way toward explaining why a man like Kerry, who makes brazen lies daily, could well win the election. And, if he does, it chills the blood to think what further depths he'll take us to.
Anyone filing suit now would be pilloried by the MSM, no real fact-finding would have occured by the time of the election, and Kerry has an entire campaign staff to spin every single step along the way and drag it out. After the election, win or lose, I think it is fair game.
I believe the proper first step would be for a group of citizens to file an action in mandamus, which is a lawsuit to force a government official to do something they must do. Filing a 180 form is generally voluntary, but I believe a good argument can be made that it is necessary that the public know whether a Senator or President has a tainted service record. This lawsuit would probably lose, however, but that is not the point. Kerry would either give up the records voluntarily, or he would have to openly fight to keep his records sealed in a court of law. This type of lawsuit is not the type from which the Prez is immune while in office. It also deals with actions occurring pre-administration and is fair game.
If he fights and is Prez, God forbid, he can then be impeached not for committing a high crime, but a misdemeanor which, at the time of the Constitution was not a specific classification of crime but a general term meaning any malfeasance in office (the framers did not intend that bad-acting presidents stay in office until the next election as they could do terrible harm in the meantime). The "misdemeanor" would be deliberately concealing the truth about his military record while he is commander in chief of the entire armed forces. Additionally, one can also bring the treason charges at that time, just on the known facts without the 180 even being filed. I do not believe there is a statute of limitations on treason.
On the other hand, if he voluntarily releases the records after the election, then we'll all know--if he's Prez in this case, again God forbid, then there's either nothing there (which is unlikely or else why not release now), or he will have to reveal that he committed some impeachable offense.
In other words, unless there's really nothing in the records, the plot written by the man himself already indicates that Kerry can and probably should be impeached (even if he is still just a Senator, hopefully) and the ball should get rolling immediately.
BTTT
Incredible that Brokaw did not follow up on this statement. The obvious question is "why haven't you agreed to release all of your military records?," a simple enough question. Strike that, not incredible at all--depressingly routine, I'm afraid.
That has all been done. Filed and delivered.
After the election, he needs to be put on trial, convicted, and hung.
God Forbid, but if they do elect Kerry, this article is 100 percent correct. Not only that,. he should never have been a Senator.
There is no way Kerry will unite this country. If they think Bush divided us.. they are dead wrong.
They divided us.. when President Bush was always a uniter.
His record proves it.
They were SORE losers and they are full of hate.
Has anyone asked why Kerry and Edwards have not stood in front of any troops?
Why neither of them have gone to Iraq?
Can you say VOTER FRAUD? That, my friend... will probably be the only way this treason-es b@st@rd wins!
bttt
