Dem analysts/defenders have been saying over and over (new talking point) that Kerry volunteered for 2 terms for a total of 9.5 months.

[So far, the Pubbie responders are NOT COUNTERING that!!!! Why not??? If the 9.5 months and 2 tours is a lie, counter the lie with proof. Pubbies need to get more recent research and details and quit letting the Dems get away with the lies.]

Agree that this should be refuted. It is easy to do. Just pull up Kerry's fitness reports and document his service. His Gridley fitness reports show the dates that the Gridley was on station in the Gulf of Tonkin. It totals 82 days. Figures lie and liars figure. The Dems could combine the total time that the Gridley was on its WestPac cruise and add that to the time in Vietnam. However, during the WESTPAC cruise, they went to Australia among other places.

Terri McAuliffe uses the 'two tours' soundbite in every appearance. Alan Colmes gets his info direct from the DNC because his interview questions on H&C are identical to McAuliffe's comments

I want to know about Bush's Texas Air Guard record before he went to Alabama - four years into his six year obligation. The braindead CSPAN callers need a little new info of rebuttal.

The Republicans would be fools to question Kerry's service in any way. What he did in the 35 years since is a veritable gold mine for them, though.
