Yesterday, it was announced that Teddy Kennedy was to make a visit to Wilkes-Barre, PA to stump for Kerry. Local talk radio had a question as to whether that was a good move for Kerry in that Mary Jo Kopeckni (sp?) was from this area.
Today, Teddy cancelled his visit to Wilkes-Barre, and is heading directly for Pittsburg, where he will presumably get a more friendly reception.

Let the truth be known. I'm with you guys and Kerry insulted all of us with his anti-war activities. Let's hold him accountable.

Hey JC, thanks I would never have known that. Uncle teddy could have talked about saving lives and morality issues. I just wish teddy could get more air time cause I dont think camp kerry knows just how many people are sickened by him.

He told "Out Door Life" he has an assualt weapon he brought home as a souvineer. I guess only heros like him get to own them. He should test fire it on himself. That would be a start of an apology. Semper Fi

Since I've been out for awhile I'd like t go back to the original topic of what kind of an apology Kerry needs to make. I don't think it matters to me. If he wee to say to me "Sore" (we're on a first name basis), "You take 8 hours to draw a crowd, and I'll kiss your rear" I still wouldn't vote for him. I wouldn't vote for him if he was a genuine, bona fide, Vietnam Era Audie Murphy.

How CAN he apologize for selling out his country for personal political gain? What kind of apology could possibly be enough?

I can't see any possible apology that would be sufficient.

Of course, with JFknK, I don't think we'll ever have to worry about evaluating whether his apology is sufficient. We ain't gonna get one.

On this subject, I just submitted this to "Incoming" on WinterSoldier.com:

I’ve heard talk, now that large numbers of people are waking up to what John Kerry really represents, thanks to the courage of this site and other sources, that what he did in the 70’s was all long ago and we should forgive and forget, especially if he offers an apology.

What apology can fix this, more than thirty years too late?

How do you accept an “I’m sorry” for treason, sedition and the slander of his own nation and its defenders; a slander with the goal of altering the policy of this nation to the detriment of the national security interests of the American people, the interests of its allies and its military services, and to the advantage of its enemies in war time? How do you let all of that go for the price of a few hypocritical and self-serving words?

I am an honorably discharged Vietnam combat medic veteran, and if I had terminal Alzheimer's and was drooling the last drop of my living blood with my last breath onto a bib at age 103, I'd still remember Kerry's rape of my life's honor and his assault on the country I love.

And beware . . . it is not merely ancient history. He is now leading the charge in the latest version of hate-filled, divisive, anti-American, defeatist appeasement against the present generation of valiantly struggling patriots and soldiers, who need all of the support that all of us can give them.

The only thing he should be eligible to run for is the border.

And you can quote me.

I stated in one of my earliest posts that an apology from John Kerry is the last thing I am interested in. Perhaps if he had realized in 1971 that his statements were condemning the troops rather than the war and he offered a retraction or clarification I might have been more forgiving.
But he did not do that because I believe that he knew exactly what he was doing when he delivered his well planned address. And when you consider that he used the VVAW just as he had used his military service to promote himself and his political career you realize that he has no allegiance to anything or anyone but himself.
But anything out of his mouth now would only appear to be an attempt to salvage his political butt.
