I see a silver lining in this whole Kerry mess....

the Vietnam Vets are finally getting the thanks and honor they so richly deserve! And this Kerry thing after he came home has been like a festering sore.... and it's being lanced!!!!!!!! yahoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The poison will flow and then the Vets can heal! (at least from that part of it). It's so VERY, VERY LONG OVERDUE!

And another thing our young people are getting a very important lesson about honor and sevice and truth. So many of them don't even come close to having a clue. (which reminds me... I've been wanting to check out what kids ARE learning in school about this part of our history and about our country). If I'd been at that convention, I'd have been talking to those protestors.... not running from them! I'd like to know if they know WHY THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO PROTEST!

OK, I'm off my soapbox.... time for sleep .... fox and weekend friends is on already!

I see an opportunity here. The fact that Kerry is once again defaming the men who served with him deserves action. That Waz feels he's hated again in his community makes me mad. That others are being investigated and called liars is wrong. It means Kerry's character hasn't changed and he'll smear vets till he gets every last one. Even the ones who stand with him look bad. That vets are being protested at their work and losing their jobs because of speaking out is wrong. (French) That Admirals are being smeared for telling the truth is wrong.

Use it. It pulls on my heartstrings and anyone with a heart will be supportive and mad at those attacking you again. That brings it all into today, not just 35 years ago. Connect yesterday with today. There's lots of ammo there.

Just keep leading him by the nose until he's called all 25 million of us liars. Many vets, if they feel strongly about something, can influence family members and friends. It's the stupidest move Kerry can make to go against a force in this country like the veterans represent. I believe that will be his fatal mistake. Let him talk, there are a LOT of us listening. Where's that picture of the Winter Soldiers defaming the Iwo Jima Memorial? We should be getting that in front of the public next.

wuzthere2,

Welcome home!

Don't worry, it's going to work out for the best. One thing this election will do is define the US involvement in Vietnam once and for all. It was shunned aside for decades, after the election is over and the dust gets cleared, some journalists will take a deep hard look into the whole affair.

And I am certain they will find our cause was just. It'll take them ~ 40 yrs to finally figure it out.

One other thing will come from it.... The swifts will be justified once the MSM is forced to look into the swifts allegations and O'Neill's book. History will look kindly on the swifts for what they did and how they did it.

Who knows, the MSM might be forced into an exorcism of sorts b/c of the public's backlash. Your story they're ignoring is causing them much embarrassment.

Thank you for your service and duty, sir.

I think sometimes, we need to think outside the box, and sometimes we need to go simply go on faith because like it or not, there are things, lots of things we do not know.

Like the war in Iraq for example. There are things that we as civilians simply cannot know and some of those things are the things that certain decisions have been made.

This is one reason why having confidence in the character and integrity of our leaders is so important.

I think what McCain and Bush are doing now is another instance where we need to look outside the box, see a larger picture, have a little faith.

I don't think this is being betrayed. Bush made a political move which brought McCain on board and he has now said what Kerry did in 1971 is fair game. Bush as well as McCain know 527 ads will not be affected this year by anything they do. FEC will do nothing for fear of their being accused of doing something that will swing the election one way or the other. Bush by saying all 527 ads need to be stopped widens the gap between himself and SBVT. I believe President Bush has done more for Vets and Military since he has been in office that prior administration.

If not for SBVT Kerry may have had a double digit lead by now. Thanks to SBVT this has not happen. The pressure needs to be kept on by all of us talking to people in our areas and let them know the truth by showing them the facts and demanding Kerry sign SF 180.

SBVT "is a 527"!! MoveOn and the other big Dem orgs are "Fake 527s" and actually just part of the Kerry Campaign getting around McCain Fingold. It should be the duty of the FEC to quickly stop and enjoin the "Fake 527s.
