Go to Veterans Watching Our Government

- Go to Swiftboat Book will be the Sinking of Kerry
Kerry made his military experience a key part of his message. It may come back to haunt him. (See my blog for more if you like.)

archiew, Kerry's Vietnam record is relevant simply because he stands by
what he said to this day!
What if Robert Byrd, former KKK leader and a current Democratic Senator from W Virginia, stood by his same racist statements he made when he was a grand wizard for the KKK a long time ago?
He denounced many of those statements from the past and people were then able to get past it to look at the future.
But Kerry stands by his statements that US soldiers were 'war criminals on the level of Ghengis Khan.' He has never denounced those statements. In fact he said he was proud of them recently.
Kerry wants to be a war hero and an anti-war hero. He knows that some believe that war is sometimes necessary and others hate war for any reason. He cannot bring himself to be on one side or the other. And I think that his statements that he brings to the campaign trail are relevant because they exist in the now, even though they were created in the 'then' because he, by virture of his refusal to denounce and moreover stand by them, are evidence, and by his recent statements... are self-evident, to all of us.

archiew I agree 100%
I am sick of the two of them talking about it. I want to know what are they going to do for us now and in the future, the future that will effect my grandchildren. I was in Vietnam, proud of it, but I can't remember everything from 35-36 years ago.
