The Dems do not care what Kerry did or did not do. For them it is anyone but Bush. They are shameless liars. Ken

Consider it done!

I saw your post about him trying to sign up again for Gulf War 1. A man like that should be honored. In fact I am going to vist a couple buddies so I will say one for him! Smile


Thanks George! The older I get, and the more I try to be a good parent, the more I realize that he was a great guy. Dad was a 7&7 man if there was any drinking that needed to be done, though he rarely drank overall. Normally only if there was a wedding, and then only with the VFW types.

The family was buzzing when we all heard that he had tried to get the Marines to let him do something to help. He was around 65 at the time. He wasn't senile or anything like that. He was just hoping that he could do something here at home I think. He would have been satisfied to do anything from tear petticoats into bandages to being like Slim Whitman riding the bomb in ... er, whatever movie that was. Razz

If I had any complaints it would be that he kept his word so feircly that it was to a fault. Example: Lets say you're in a movie theatre. Dad says "In exactly two minutes I'm going to walk up to the screen and touch it." Then a fire breaks out. The guy would have had to kill himself because he'd wait for two minutes to be there to touch the screen. Of course that's a rediculous example, but it correctly represents the depth of the conviction. It's an inability to compromise when one's "word" is at stake. He brought this home from fighting WWII through Nam in the USMC. I respect him deeply for that, though it's taught me to be careful as to what my "word" is. Smile

Semper Fi,

MarineBrat

Kerry is too full of himself and his heroic stand on his Vietnam actions he
will not back down. He may be made to by the dems though, they do
not, really do not want Bush to win. I can't wait to watch their faces on
the liberals media when the president gets re-elected.

Kerry thought because he got away with all his games and lies in the war and after the war before he just never thought about it, and if he did as one liberal said, "they will never publish the book and if they do, who will
believe it, the msm will just ignore it and so it is not going to be a
problem with it for Kerry"

Wrong, this is not 71, we have Fox, Rush, Hugh, Glenn, Simon, and many
other talk radio hosts who are really putting their energies into the
Unfit for Command book. There was no internt with the brave bloggers who would not stop talking about the book and the vets, who everyday
wrote "where are the msm on this, why are they ignoring the book,
are they so liberal they won't speak up with the truth?"

Add to that the courage of the vets writing the book, working day and
night to get this campaign on the road, the work they have done is
so excellent, no-one can dispute the truth of what they are saying.
They are so dedicated and work so hard they are role models for
the truth is the truth and you can not hide it, it must come out.
Men with standards, high standards each and every one. Wink

Anyone ever hunted elk with a bow? The one big distinction in this story I'm about to tell is that elk are truly noble creatures. John Francois Kerry is a rat.

I agree with those who believe Kerry's ego will draw him to the end. I also believe that him dropping out would be a disaster.

He's a low, slow target for us--an easy kill, so to speak. We just need to get him out in the open, out from under the skirts of a willingly censorial press. Just thank God he's not Clinton, who'd never be gotten out from under the skirts of even a circuis hippopotamus.

Kerry can be scared out into the open, beyond the range of press coverage. We need to keep pressing and keep pressing, moving on the "polls" and converting the lethargic and the ignorant.

His quitting would be a disaster because the dems would cram in a replacement, very possibly Hillary, and that would be a very, very tough one to win against. This is a real balancing act, and it's vitally important to keep Johnny on edge. I somewhat suspect that Hillary may be behind some of this. It's her style.

Kerry has too many lies to keep straight in the accelerating pace of things. It's a casual lope right now. In the next two months it's going to be downright frenetic, and he can't keep up the lying/defending that long. He's just not smart enough.

I don't think America is quite dumbed down enough to put up with a simpering, woe is me "hero" to the point of electing the son of a *****. In a literary sense, we need to draw him out of the dark timber and have a bowhunter ready. Someone who gets in close. Someone with good cover. Someone stealthy. Someone very, very accurate.

A silent hunter and a good hit. Not immediately fatal, by design, but lethal nonetheless. He will run to cover, and we will have him.

Hit him with what? I don't know--that's for people smarter than I. With something, something that will offer a huge stroke for his pathetic little lying ego. Something that will appear to him to be a sure thing. Something that will have the look and the sound and the scent of something in heat. And when he moves, and his ego will tell him to move because at that time he will desperately need a stroke or two, well, when he moves we'll be prepared.

If we draw him out into the open by, say, very late October or early November, we can deliver the lethal blow and in the days leading to the actual election we need only track the blood trail and finish the job.

Just pull him out from under the press. As he begins to be more and more clearly exposed by his own hand the press will fall away, taking his cover with it.

Trolls being trolls, we don't want to discuss specifics here, either.

Gosh, I love this war!
