Kerry

My brother-in-law e-mailed this to me, thought you folks might find it interesting. It makes me wonder what is happening in this country?

He deserves nothing less than a long drop on a short rope.

Ok, someone is going to jump all over me for this, but.....

As I read the article, he is not a traitor, nor a collaborateur <sp?>.

He is an American who did his duty by doing his tour of duty and returning alive to the US. He fought and killed the enemy in service of his country.

What he is though, is an outspoken American. He exercised his right as an American to free speech and made it known how he felt about the war and the US involvement in it. That does not make him a traitor.

To collaborate with an enemy there has to be a constant two way communication with an enemy. No where in the article does it state that he had this line open to him.

Now, having said that, let me finish before you bash the **** out of me.......

I don't like Kerry, I don't believe in his politics, nor do I like the fact that he was a war hero speaking out against the conflict in SE Asia while it was still raging. But I have fought, and more than likely will fight again for his right to do everything that he has done.

People in this country must realize that free thought and protest are one of the things that make this country what it is.

Now, going to another country and speaking out against the US as Jane Fonda or Natalie Manes <sp?> did, that I can't agree with. If you are going to do something like that, at least have the cajones to do it in your country.

Regards,

Brad

Just like most members of the DTR.

First of all, for all to see, I have not now nor have I ever stated my political aspirations on this forum. I will not post my views either. ALL I was stating is you guys and gals seem to do NOTHING to promote your candidate (no matter who it is). ALL YOU WANT TO DO IS BASH THE DEMOCRATS. Why? I would think that a person would be better off promoting the best person for any job to which they are campaigning. Is it because you cannot find as much good info about your candidate? Is it really necessary to continuously tell everyone how "bad" someone is instead of how good someone else is?

You just did!

It wasn't Democrat bashing, merely revisiting Historical Facts.

I agree that it is so embarrassing that it goes against the grain of most Americans, and probably feels like bashing to know your candidate would have done such a thing.

I too was a Democrat until I could no longer stomach the complete lack of integrity the party kept pushing in it's choices for leaders.

Sad too because there are a lot of really good Democrats out there, they just don't seem to make the list so we can vote for them.

As a side note, I still hate Jane Fonda too, though I never cared what her choice of political parties was. John Kerry will always be a rat to those of us who served in Vietnam while he was doing his best to stab us in the back. Not because he is a Democrat, but because of his dastardly deeds.

If you choose to support this man, than by all means do so, I for one spent 22 years defending your right to do that very thing, and would stand up for you again tomorrow, even if I don't agree with you.

I don't care much at all for Bush or Kerry but why does the Bush camp have to bring up things that happened 30 years ago? GW's behavior in the same time period is nothing to hoot about either.
One I can't fail to notice coming into my 10th time to vote for prez is that all there seems to be is each side saying how bad the other is. Why doesn't at least one side point out the good they've done or will do?
In my opinion, once again they're both bad choices.

Guys I am a strong Republican and do not like John Kerry and would never vote for him. But I think we ought to check out the validity of this story. It sounds alittle far fetched even for Kerry. If it's true I agree he is a traitor. I would like to believe all of this but I'm having a hard time of it.

The American Thinker? Oh yeah, I get that every day alone with my New York Times, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal. It's Pulizter Prize journalism at its finest. Hey, if it's on the web, then it has to be true, right?

In Kerry's case the question would be... Why do we need to bring up things from 2 weeks ago? Kerry won't say what he's gonna do, or at least how plans to do "it". So where does somebody have to look, other than what he did? Personnally I hate the guy, but may have leaned toward the Dems if they would have picked another, particular candidate. I also preferred another candidate other than Bush, to run against Gore. Oh well.

As far as the article, I read it with a grain of salt, not that I didn't enjoy it.
