|
|
One of the most telling things I have read related to Kerry's flip flopping was in an article by David Broder, liberal Washington Post columnist. Broder said that in a 2002 conversation, Kerry told him he thought it would be doubly advantageous that "I fought in Vietnam and also I fought against the Vietnam War". Broder went on to say that apparently Kerry did not recognize that some would see far too much political calculation in such a bifurcated record. Sound a little like I voted for the $87 billion before I voted against it. The Democrats try to characterize his contradictory positions as that of a complex, nuanced man. There is nothing nuanced about him. He is a man with no integrity who intentionally takes two sides of an issue for pure political purposes. This man is one sick puppy. |

His illness is called "Delusions of Grandure" He may be jfk but he's no John Kennedy. Just a pretender. Pretends to be Irish. Pretends to be heroic. NOT!
Excerpt from:
Swift Boat Accounts Incomplete
Critics Fail to Disprove Kerry's Version of Vietnam War Episode
By Michael Dobbs
Washington Post Staff Writer

.....
'When Kerry signed up to command a Swift boat in the summer of 1968, he was inspired by the example of his hero, John F. Kennedy, who had commanded the PT-109 patrol boat in the Pacific in World War II. But Kerry had little expectation of seeing serious action. At the time the Swift boats -- or PCFs (patrol craft fast), in Navy jargon -- were largely restricted to coastal patrols. "I didn't really want to get involved in the war," Kerry wrote in a book of war reminiscences published in 1986. ' |
