I find Ketchupman's going to Vietnam and making home movies almost unbelievable. Considering the culture climate at that time, how many others were able to make home movies of their experiences in a wartime zone? His arrogance is beyond belief.

Strange indeed. It sounds as if Kerry had his career path all mapped out from the beginning, using his four month stay in Vietnam as a spring-board. His duplicitous character has allowed him to use these photo's for (or against) whatever event may present itself. He's a classic oppurtunist. If I'm not mistaken, there have already been several campaign ads with Kerry in uniform as he tracks through the jungles of Vietnam (my mom said she saw one a few weeks back). Gee...I wonder were these photo's came from.

Kerry doesn't know what he said or when. A speechwriter wrote it for him...

1965 The tone, temper and pace of protest against the war in 1965 was mute if not deaf. It wasn't until it became politically expediant in the latter half of the 60's and early 70's that Kerry saw fit to 'voice his opposition'.
Kerry is the equivalent of a political 'shape shifter', always trying to blend in with the issue de jour.
What a phony

What is the statue of limitations on JFK's war crimes that he's admitted to under oath?

when will Kerry apologize for the atrocities he admitted to in sworn testimony before the Senate?

There have been rumors he had movies taken of himself. Where are they? Haven't you seen his campaign commercials? those original super-8 movies were taken with the camera he brought with him to Vietnam for the 3 months of combat he served on the Swift Boat.

Somebody needs to tell Kerry this is 2004 and not 1970.Wake up Kerry.

Haven't you seen his campaign commercials?
No I have not.
This Kerry guy is strange. It's like he has some insane stalking like passion about John F. Kennedy. He wants to be the real JFK. Kinda queer if you ask me.

A recent NBC News poll found that even 71% of Republicans agree that Kerry served honorably. It also found that voters say what they like least about Kerry is him straddling both sides of issues.
I'm in the 29% minority on this.

I like this part:
"On the Cavett show, Kerry also showed films he shot in Vietnam, explaining the video, saying, saying, You see a bunker being taken under fire. In fact, were under fire at this point and you can see some shots coming out, landing in the water. He added, Just after this I put the camera down. I had a feeling we were gonna be ambushed
and sure enough up ahead we were. And youll see it.
Brinkley says Kerry compiled material to bolster his case against the war, telling Cavett, I took these pictures in a moment of confusion, explaining, There you see the huts burning, and this, this is the enemy, so to speak, in South Vietnam.
Kerry told Cavett, I was constantly struck by the juxtaposition of those of us running around with guns and the body lying there in the field. There you see the huts burning.
WHERE ARE THESE VIDEOS???????
We have seen him stalking in the jungle like Bigfoot (bet you never see that commercial again without thinking "Bigfoot"!) but where are the videos referenced above? They are a MUST GET!
