Kerry's Daughter Defends Father


ANDOVER, Mass. (AP) - Vanessa Kerry joked about life on the campaign trail while visiting the elite boarding school she and President Bush attended, but she turned serious when recalling criticism of her father's service in the Vietnam War.

A group of Vietnam veterans, Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, claims that Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry didn't deserve the three Purple Hearts, the Bronze Star and the Silver Star he was awarded during the war.

``I don't know how many of you saw the Swift boat ads in August ... but they were proven to be lies,'' Kerry, 27, told about 1,100 students and teachers at Phillips Academy. ``The fact that three weeks of lies were allowed to perpetuate on the airwaves, attacking the character of my father after he served his country, is really sad.''

Vanessa Kerry, one of two Kerry daughters, declined to answer a question about her own views on Iraq. She said her opinions sometimes diverge from her father's, such as on the issue of gay marriage, which he opposes in favor of state-sanctioned civil unions.

Vanessa Kerry graduated from Phillips Academy in 1995. Bush and his father, the 41st president, also graduated from the school.

Is this the daughter he gave the "recon dog tag " to,

"he came down the stairs with his hand in his pocket, the

reporter ask, what is that Senator?)

he tells of his "recon dog tags" and how they are a good luck thing

from his danger missions behind emeney lines.

"the other of the pair, I gave to my daughter

for her to remember me when she has trouble,

if that one thing about his lies is true, that he was

never issued and or needed to use the "recon dog tags"

for "clandstine missions behind emeny lines" you know the ones

with the rubber edges, and gave the lie to her!!!!!!

then Kerry is one bad person. for sure.

Maybe she should ask him to retell the story of Christmas in Cambodia for starters. Must have been a great bedtime story.

I thought that the children of the candidates were off limits for discussion.
We don't want to look like the Liberals do we?
If Kerry's children want to defend their father it just shows the proper attitude of "Family First".
As much as I'd like to just blast away, it just isn't the honorable thing to do.

I wouldn't pick on her personally, but if she speaks lies about the SVPT, then her words, at minimum, are, as the Dems said about Mary Cheney, "fair game."

It was a dark and dreary night in Cambodia.

The handsome young prince was zooming up the dangerous river on his swiftboat...

What Kerry said about Mary Cheney was recognized by the media, the world and everyone concerned as in "VERY BAD TASTE". We don't need to follow John's example.
