Yhank you for your service to our country. I am not a vet and my trips into Qui Nhon and Da Nang back in ‘69 were just to make deliveries while working as a Merchant seaman. My Dad and other family members are Vietnam vets, however, and officers, so I am well aware of Kerry’s violations of his own oath as an officer.

The single greatest factor for me against John Kerry as far as character was his Senate testimony in (I think it was) 71. I agree, Kerry's testimony is what hung the babykiller tag around the necks of those of us who served later in the 70's.
I'm not a Vietnam vet and don't know what was up with young Mr. Kerry, but I sure as heck took notice that 100 of his old shipmates and fellow officers publicly called him out about it - I've never seen the likes of it, in any of the services.

In the end, it was the voices of the smeared that prevailed: Political, media and Hollywood free-for-all attacks against the military now spark widespread resentment and active opposition, Swett and Ziegler found, as trashing the troops [is] no longer the ticket to fame and success it had been in that long-ago spring of 1971. Great finishing paragraph. (Of course it quotes the book!)

There is a Rolling Thunder Chapter in our area. They are supporters of Kerry till this day. I noticed on this month’s newsletter they are dogging McCain. Gee What’s the difference!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I find it hard to believe these tough guys are going to vote for Obama or Hillary.

John Kerry defeated John Kerry long before the 2004 Presidential race. If that was true, he would hardly have led President Bush throughout early 2004, only to see his poll numbers fall off a cliff in August, after the Swift Vets' TV ads, book and web site were released.

There are some Vietnam vets who are die-hard Democrats. I guess they’re just in denial about what the Dems did to them in the 70’s.

And Hanoi John keeps getting reelected. Kerry has some interesting opposition this year on the Republican side. Jeff Beatty is a Delta Force veteran with expertise in counter-terrorism and intelligence. I talked with him for a bit at CPAC, and he showed me a Gallup poll taken late last year that has him well within striking range of Kerry - just 3 or 4 points back.
Beatty is an impressive guy. You can find his Senate campaign website here.

“If that was true, he would hardly have led President Bush throughout early 2004, only to see his poll numbers fall off a cliff in August, after the Swift Vets’ TV ads, book and web site were released.”
Kerry’s previous words and actions doomed him to defeat many, many years prior to 2004. The Swifties just opened the cellar door and let the light shine in for the American public to see. And the Democrats hate the truth like cockroaches hate the light.

You're going to split that right? Have we met?

The Swifties just opened the cellar door and let the light shine in for the American public to see. That's considerably easier to type than it was to actually make happen.

And the Democrats hate the truth like cockroaches hate the light. Forgive my intrusion, but, IMHO, that's far too simplistic an approach. In fact, I would argue that's the approach that the SwiftVets took into the May 4, 2004 press conference. "If we just tell what we saw. Swear to it in depositions. Then, lay it out for the American people via their watchdog the press. Everything will be ok."
Well, It didn't work out that way! It's STILL not going to work out that way if the MSM has anything to do with it. Kerry is STILL running for the US Senate and no one seems to have said 'Boo' about it.
