Why is it that the Dem lawyers, some of whom have been trial lawyers, insist that the only people who can judge John Kerry are those who served on the boat with him?

How many of them have only used witnesses that were actually involved in the commission of a crime? I'll bet every one of them has used at least one expert witness, and expert witnesses aren't likely to be directly involved in the incident and many of them may not even have met the perpetrator(s).

These people surely do have selective memory.

And did the Dems make negative comments about F9/11? NOOOOOOO. Some of the bigwigs actually went to a big "do" for it.

We know what it is ,It is all crap and spin.If I were to watch two people have a car accident as a pedestrian many feet away,They would take my testimony as credible, But only people on Kerry's boat know what is going on ? Rolling Eyes Typical b.s lawyer spin attack.I have dealt with that way too much

I'm personally in favor of a jury of his peers.

Which, incidentally, is the goup of other officers he served with...

As to this "served with" controversy , people seem to be confused about the swift boat operation method. Let's convert it to army standards and the real "Band of Brothers, Easy Co." of TV fame.

By Kerry's definition Major Winters did not serve with anyone who did not serve with him at platoon level.

Try and sell that to Easy Co.!

Worse than that;

A soldier in 1st Platoon didn't "serve" with anyone in 2nd or 3rd Platoon, because they didn't share a foxhole.

Duh.

Why is it that John Kerry in 1971 accused hundreds of thousands of soldiers who never served on the boat with him of the most heinous of atrocities? Why has he never apologized for this intensely harmful slander?

By the way, MacArthur's commander (Truman) did not serve on the boat with him -- but that didn't stop Truman from criticizing and firing the general.

Because he's a prat. And that's the answer to most questions regarding him.

But one thing I would really like to know - how in the world did Kerry think he was going to get away with this without having his real record exposed? Is he that foolish, arrogant or both?

Regards, Ivan

Intensely arrogant, and counting on the lawyers and spinmeisters to "erase the past" (communist echoes intentional).

I have a quote which I used on the RightGoths site which the trial laywers should remember:

Quote:

Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. As a peacemaker the lawyer has superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough.

-- Abraham Lincoln


Edwards, Kerry's slime machine...somehow I don't think Honest Abe would have approved.

Regards, Ivan
