The bottom line is that he was pardoned (by Carter) and eventually given an honorable discharge. Thus there are no legal repurcussions. This is just information that should be available to the voter prior to making a decision. However, if you read the article, an inference is not proof, and they have presented no concrete proof or corroborating witnesses.

There is no way this gets out in the media without absolute proof. Perhaps Lipscomb has gotten the then Secretary of Navy to come forward, and will be publishing a story tomorrow. If not, this is going nowhere.

I really find it amazong that a Man who might be able to become the next President of the USA, would be allowed to assume that office without a credible background inspection. Especially one who we all know participated in demonstratitons against the foreign policy of the United States and who is suspect of the highest crime in the land next to murder.

It is totally unreasonable to ask a country to accept this or his legal claim to Senator let alone the Presidency of the USA and in the time of WAR no less. There must be some legal vehicle that that is available to the Congress, to demand that this information be brought to light, before the election.

I don't care if it doesn't come out until after the election, personally. I just want it to come out. Mainly so I can take satisfaction in all the kool-aid drinkers seeing who they really voted for.

I believe it is true. I also believe that any 'october' surprise feel to this will rebound against President Bush. I want this man taken down, my brother was wounded at Con Thien, he came back to be a police officer and be spit on and tripped by the 'peace protestors' he had to protect in their marches, so this is personal. But, I do NOT want anything to rebound and put this man into the presidency. He will emasculate this country.

Though it's hard, we/I have waited 30 years, I can wait another few months to make sure ALL the evidence is there and not just conjecture. If it goes out as speculation based on 'the history' of the time, then I would rather work to get all the information. I believe that sooner or later through the law we WILL get the documents. And, when we do, we will take down not only Kerry, but also the MEDIA whose job it was to do this, especially Dan Rather who spent 5 years on the National Guard Story and refused to do that same research on this one.

Absolutely correct without documentary proof or someone of notoriety willing to state unequivocally as fact it's going nowhere. Even Drudge refuses to run with it.

But if we wait until after the election, and God forbid, Kerry is elected, we may be stuck with Edweards as president.

Scary thought !!!

P.S. Please tell your brother, there are thousands of us who thank him for his service to this country.

If he has an OTH (Other Than Honorable) discharge, will he be allowed to have a TOP SECRET Clearance?

Presidents automatically get a much higher clearance than that. Whether SCI or codeword, I don't know.

Congresspeople get TS by default, regardless of what the background turns up.

Remember Ron Dellums? Scary, isn't it?

"Here's a scarey scenario for a Halloween night.
Kerry wins
It is revealed he had a dishonorable discharge"



He is unable to "govern" due to voter remorse.
He resigns.
Edwards is sworn in.

Now I have posting remorse :)
I was in the USN from '70-'74, there were a lot of BCDs given out back then. People just wanting out, not thinking ahead. It was the days of anything goes. Also back then I got to know quite a few 0-3s and below standing watch in CIC with them. Nobody got out 11 months early to run for congress. Even after the downsizing of the USN in Vietnam we were still fighting a cold war in the Atlantic.
