 Dear Joe Scarborough:
 About John Kerry for President..and the Swiftboat vets
 The major issue in the Swiftboat stories is, and always has been, what John
 Kerry did in 1971 after he returned from Vietnam.
 
 Kerry cast a long dark shadow over all Vietnam Veterans with his outright
 perjury before the Senate concerning atrocities in Vietnam.  His stories to the
 Senate committee were absolute lies..fabrications..perjury..fantasies, with NO
 substance.  That dark shadow has defamed the entire Vietnam War veteran
 population, and gave "Aid and Comfort" to our enemies..the Vietnamese Communists.
 Kerry's stories were outright fabrications, and were intended for political
 gain with the radical left..McGovern, Teddy and Bobby Kennedy followers, Jane
 Fonda, Tom Hayden and the radical left who fantasized that George McGovern was
 going to be elected in 1972.  Little wonder that returning soldiers from Vietnam
 were spit upon and castigated as "baby killers".  A returned hero just said
 so.
 
 Kerry cut a dashing figure as a war hero, lots of medals, and returned home
 because of multiple war wounds..even a silver star.  His senate testimony
 confirmed what every hippie had been chanting on the streets.."Hey hey LBJ..How
 many kids did you kill today"?  Kerry obviously was really running for political
 office, without announcing it...in 1971.
 
 Until John O'Neill, himself a Swiftboat Commander, spoke out before the 1972
 election against Kerry's outright deceptions, there was no one from the
 Swiftboat scene that could contradict Kerry' self serving lies.
 
 I was a POW of the Vietnamese in Hanoi in 1971, and am aware that the
 testimony of John Kerry, the actions of Jane Fonda and Tom Hayden, and the radical
 left; all caused the Commies to conclude that if they hung on..they would win.
 North Vietnamese General Bui Tin commentd that every day the Communist
 leadership listened to world news over the radio to follow the growth of the anti-war
 movement.  Visits to Hanoi by Jane Fonda and Ramsey Clark gave them
 confidence to hold in the face of battlefield reverses.  The guts of it was that
 propaganda from the anti-war group was part of the Commie combat strategy.
 
 While the Commies were hanging on, innumerable U.S. soldiers, sailors,
 marines and air force members were being killed in combat.  Every battle wound to
 Americans after Kerry's misdirected testimony is related to Kerry's
 untruthfulness.  John Kerry contributed to every one of these deaths with his lies about
 U.S. atrocities in Vietnam.  He likewise defamed the U.S. to our allies and our
 supporters.
 
 His conduct also extended the imprisonment of the Vietnamese POWs, of which I
 was one.  I am certain of at least one POW death after his testimony, which
 might have been prevented with an earlier release of the POWs some 2 years
 after his 1971 testimony.
 
 My friend and roommate Senator John S. McCain denounced the Swiftboat video
 by John O'Neill.  I have a different opinion than my good friend John McCain.
 The Swiftboat tape is highly relevant evidence that replies directly to John
 Kerry's ongoing series of misrepresentation, and those tapes and the cable news
 shows are the only major contradictions to Kerry's postulating as a war hero.
 The print press..Washington Post, NY Times, etc are avoiding the Swiftboat
 story because they want a democratic president.
 
 John Kerry opened up his character as a war hero reporting for duty (Dem
 Convention), with a hand salute..and his band of brothers.. of which he was the
 chief hero.  Most of his convention speech was about John Kerry..Vietnam war
 hero, and his band of brothers,  John Kerry's character is not only fair game, it
 is the primary issue.  His response to Swiftboats is like Bill Clinton's
 "is",  as an answer to his lack of character.
 
 The issue is trust.  Can anyone trust John Kerry??  "Never lie, cheat, or
 steal" is the West Point motto. Should we elect another proven liar to lead us in
 wartime???
 
 I draw a direct comparison to General Benedict Arnold of the Revolutionary
 War, to Lieutenant John Kerry.  Both went off to war, fought, and then turned
 against their country.  General Arnold crossed over to the British for money and
 position.  John Kerry crossed over to the Vietnamese with his assistance to
 the anti-war movement and his direct liason with the Vietnamese diplomats in
 Paris.  His reward.  Political gain.  Senator.  United States.
 
 His record as a senator for twenty years has been pitiful.  Conjure up, if
 you will, one major bill that he has sponsored.
 
 John Kerry for President?  Ridiculous.  Unthinkable. Unbelievable.
 Outrageous.

				| DON'T YOU GUYS EVER STOP GETTING THE REAL TRUTH OUT. AMERICA WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU AND YOUR BATTLE TO EXPOSE THIS OPPORTUNIST AFTER HE LIED TO THE WORLD FOR HIS OWN POLITICAL GAIN. HE WAS NEVER YOUR BROTHER.
 
 How to start each day with a positive outlook:
 1. Open a new file in your PC.
 
 2. Name it "John Kerry."
 
 
 3. Send it to the trash bin.
 
 
 4. Empty the trash.
 
 
 5. Your PC will ask you,          "Are you sure you want to delete John Kerry permanently?"
 
 
 6. Answer calmly, "Yes," and press the mouse button firmly.
 
 
 7. Feel better? I sure did...
