The Swift-boat controversy is not an ancient molehill turned into a mountain. It's how we're stumbling toward a debate that the Democrats don't want to have — but that everyone knows exists anyway. The real issue here is Kerry's views on war and foreign policy. Kerry is a McGovernite — a long-time member in good standing of his party's dovish wing. Kerry has hidden that fact, but now the truth is slipping out. When Kerry tried to transform his original radicalism into a hawkish parable, those who knew him better rebelled. The ensuing mess has forced the story of who John Kerry is, and always has been, into the public's focus. Whatever secrets his journals and military files may hold, the secret of John Kerry's actual views on war and foreign policy is the more dangerous one — for him, and for us.

Exactly. This is why the Kerry was journal will not see the light of day for some time. This is also why Kerry cannot be CIC during a time with thousands of radical Islamic extremists vow to kill 4 million Americans.

What part of they want to kill all of us do the radical left and peace freaks not understand.

During war with a enemy that isn't as clearly defined nor geographically contained as the communists of Southeast Asia, how can the Democratic Party possibly put forth Kerry as their candidate. Do they really think that the American people are so stupid as to only look at 4 months of combat service and ignore 420 months of anti-military, anti-defense (doveish) position.

I think it is time to emphasize the Kerry that showed up 100 times more often. Maybe only the liberal left and MSM echo chamber are stupid enough to ignore the math.

Kerry and the rest of the democrats are living in the pre 9-11 period. To them, that terrible moment does not exist in their mind. The Russians are now saying that they found explosives in the wreckage of their planes that crashed. Can kerry be trusted to deal with the problems of terrorism? He has shown that he wants to negotiate with tyrants, and hope that they will be appeased. He will send surrogates to deliver letters to Al Quida operatives, the Chechen extremists, and the Iranian mullahs. America will be the laughing stock in the world.

Kerry can't handle the Islamic terrorists -- he can't handle 250 "old" sailors!!!

From the Federalist: "Several Vietnamese-Americans are suing the University of Massachusetts (Boston).... Not only did the University exclude many South Vietnamese refugees (the plaintiffs allege) but in fact awarded its fellowships to two Communist scholars from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam -- scholars whose sympathies lie with the oppressive Communist regime from which the South Vietnamese fled. What does this have to do with John Kerry? He sides with the University, of course, commending them by letter for "[c]hoosing two established and accomplished scholars from Vietnam." Is it possible that they have "something" on him?

Don't group McGovern with this fraud.

McGovern was a warrior who served honorably.

He is certainly anti-war (who isn't?) and very liberal, but has earned the right to be whatever he chooses.

He is an honorable man who should't have his name included in the same sentence with........
