Kerry slams 'refusal to serve'
AP, AFP
04sep04

NEW YORK: Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry declared he had taken enough "incoming" yesterday and blasted back at his Republican antagonists by suggesting George W. Bush and Vice-President Dick Cheney were draft dodgers.

In his toughest counter-punch of the campaign, the decorated war hero said he was not going to have his military qualifications questioned by "those who refused to serve" in the Vietnam War.

"For the past week, they attacked my patriotism and my fitness to serve as commander in chief ... well, here's my answer," Senator Kerry said in Ohio.

"I'm not going to have my commitment to defend this country questioned by those who refused to serve when they could have and by those who have misled the nation into Iraq.

"Let me tell you in no uncertain terms what makes someone unfit for office and unfit for duty. Misleading our nation into war in Iraq makes you unfit to lead our country.

"Doing nothing while this nation loses millions of jobs makes you unfit to lead this country. Letting 45 million Americans go without health care for four years makes you unfit to lead this country.

"Letting the Saudi royal family control the price of oil for Americans makes you unfit to lead this country."

Mr Bush spent the Vietnam War in the Texas Air National Guard, and had faced accusations that even then he was absent without leave for long periods. Mr Cheney received five deferments and once explained that he had "other priorities".

OMG, I am sorry. It still ticks me off! It was just posted on another site and I got so angry I put it here. He disses the vets and I go off.

Apparently this article was originally run in September but rerun on Oct 7. I don't know why.

The "why" might be from their prevailing wisdom (?) which says "A lie told enough times becomes the truth."

Of course, my thought was always a lie told enough times is still a lie.

Just a thought, respectfully submitted.

Obviously, he forgot about his own 4 deferments and writing the article in 1986 about volunteering for Swift Boats when he felt they were performing safe off shore duty, as well as his statement that he didn't really want to be involved in the war.

Lie all he wishes, he left a good paper trail to disprove what he says

Kerry can't tell his lies from the truth anymore. He's changed his own stories so often that he can't say anything without exposing another lie.

But MSM still gives him a pass.
