Then I remember also the incredible class shown by John O'Neill, Van O'Dell and all the other Swiftees who have found themselves in similar situations throughout this presidential campaign.
And I know that in the long run, the dignified delivery of truth can not be defeated by the angry spewing of baseless propaganda. But its a marathon, not a sprint, and I am confident we will prevail, if we never give up and never are reduced to their tactics.
Right now, I have 10 questions for those people, to try to make them think and hopefully re-assess their support for John Kerry.
1. Why has your candidate never denounced the angry and vicious lies about President Bush from Michael Moore, Al Franken, Whoopi Goldberg and the like, but instead has endorsed such hateful people as "the heart and soul of America?"
2. Why has your candidate allowed his supporters to continue advancing the charge that President Bush lied to America about Iraq WMD's, when the consensus of the entire free world and both he and his running mate, were in complete agreement with President Bush at the time?
3. Why won't your candidate explain;
a. why his honorable discharge (on his website) was awarded 6 years late, when Carter was president, after a favorable "review board" decision,
b. which "official Navy records" that "prove his medals were earned" were originally authored by Kerry himself,
c. why he has three different citations with differing language, for his one silver star award,
d. why he lied, and has now recanted, that he was illegally sent to Cambodia on Christmas eve,
e. how he was awarded his 3rd purple heart, when the attending physician categorized his request as ridiculous,
e. why his campaign has consistently lied that all his military records are on his website, when in fact many critical records have never been released, and
f. why John Kerry has never signed his "form 180" and released all his records, if he has nothing to hide?
4. Why is your candidate currently spreading fear that a future military draft is likely under President Bush, when he witnessed the President's promise directly to the American people in the second debate that there be no draft as long as he is President.
5. Why has your candidate demeaned America's allies in Iraq and labeled them as "the bribed and coerced," while promising he will attract new allies to our side by offering contracts to them. And why did he refer to the brave interim Prime Minister of Iraq as a puppet of the Bush administration?
6. During his 20 years in Congress, why has your candidate not contributed a single example of signature legislation that significantly improved America?
7. If John Kerry's claims of being the proven warrior to command America's war on terrorism are true, why did he accept a highly-questionable third purple heart for an "injury" requiring only a band-aid, abandon his fellow Swift Boat sailors and return home after just 4 months, join the anti-war movement, meet with the enemy, accuse the American military of war crimes and throw away his medals in protest of his country?
8. In his entire life, why has your candidate never been able to make and sustain an unwaivering commitment to fight and defeat a single enemy of the USA?
9. To eliminate terrorism from continually regenerating, President Bush believes we must plant seeds of freedom in the wake of our battle victories, to eradicate the cause of the disease, not just its symptons. Your candidate says only that he would do "everything differently" from President Bush. Why has he not outlined a specific plan and explained how it will be better for America than the Bush plan?
10. Your candidate has stated he will take pre-emptive action to protect America, but only if it passes his "global test," being morally defendable to the American public and the world community.
If Bush's pre-emptive action in Iraq, against a brutal dictator who was a sworn enemy of the USA, developed and used WMD's, terrorized, tortured and murdered his own people, invaded a neighboring country, rewarded successful terrorists in other countries with financial compensation and defied 18 U.N. resolutions, including one "final" unanimously-approved U.N. resolution threatening "serious consequences," was wrong and did not pass Kerry's "global test," what possible real-world threat could?
Please Consider This Decision Very Carefully.
Who is the Best and Most Courageous Leader, and.....
Who Will Make Future American Generations Safer? |
