Unfortunately, the facts are against the kerry supporters, so they insist on name calling.

There are several interesting aspects of this controversey.

First, Kerry decided to make his brief service more than a third of a century ago the centerpiece of his campaign.  He has been largely silent about his role in the Senate.  I suggest the reason for this can be found by looking at his record in the Senate.

Second, there is a significant number of mistatements by Kerry about Viet Nam which have been clearly documented.  He has already backed away from some, and his own diaries contradict others.

Third, the media has largely avoided investigating the substance of the charges.  There is a massive cover up on this matter.

Fourth, the left is raging helplessly, engaging in ad hominem attacks and trying to change the focus.  They will NOT deal with the specific facts.

Second,

Sorry, I was interupted while composing my post, and the second 'second' was a typo.

Actually, Bush served in the Air National Guard, which is part of the reserve forces of the Armed Forces.

That is NOT dodging service!

He served as a fighter pilot, which is a rather dangerous specialization (i.e. above average fatality rate versus many other specializations).

Simple question for you.

Was John Kerry in Cambodia on Christmas of 1968?

Simple question for you.....Does it really freakin matter?

You want to know what does?

- The 4 million more uninsured Americans since Bush took office.
- The fact that under Bush we have less jobs in this country than when he was selected.
- The fact that Bush has led us into a quagmire in Iraq for erroneous reasons, and the majority of the country now view it as a grave mistake.
- The mountain of additional Red Ink that has accumulated under
the fiscal policy's of this president, debt that will be left to be paid by my children long after Bush is but a distant night mare of a memory.

These are the things that matter in this election......

I'll leave you in that still unwinable war in the jungles of Vietnam.

I notice you were unwilling to answer the question, and instead are trying to change the subject.

Is this because you know the answer, and it isn't pleasant for Kerry?

No......not at all carlhaden,

Kerry probably wasn't in Cambodia on Christmas in 1968.


Well, as the old adage goes, we have begun the journey of a thousand miles with this one step.

What was "seared" in Kerry's memory (his word), was false.

Lets go to the next question, did John Kerry throw HIS medals over the White House fence?
