Apparently this book still stands as the most complete public record of Kerry's wartime shenanigans.

Of course, who listens to John Kerry any more?? Hmm?? I didn't think so.

RWR

Since you obviously have a keen interest in leadership ability, you might look at the demonstrated leadership capability of our current Commander in Chief. Its a dismal failure. Bush has ignored input from his military leaders, has damaged our covert intellegence gathering capability, and is unwilling to take action against those in his own staff that have committed treason. We are losing the war in IRAQ, not according to me, but according to our generals. BY mid next year, our military will be on the verge of both a personnel and equipment meltdown, according to General Casey, the theater commander. The war in IRAQ has increased terrorism, not according to me, but according to published statistics. IRAQ's new government is becoming a mulsim fundamentalist, and is becoming best friends with IRAN. Your party votes against veterans benefits, and is currently putting aside a defense appropriations bill becuase it doesn't have a special interest proviso for the NRA. Due to the disengenuous nature of your party, we can't meet our military recruitment goals.

If you really were patriotic, you would be concerned about these items; instead you are still trying to accuse John Kerry of something that is generally accepted as a smear.

Macho bravado, flag wagging, rampant nationalism isn't patriotism when it supports an administration that is weaking America. None of us wanted this to happen. But it is happening, and a string of lies and bad decisions have been instrumental in creating this damage; lies and bad decisions by the Bush Administration. You have a choice; to start to accept reality, or to continue to damage our country; which will it be?

John Kerry is "persona non grata" on the national polical landscape. Calling for anyone to release records is laughable. Kerry and his mate refused to released thier tax records when he ran for the Presidency and he did not aurthorize full release of his military records. I agree with RWR, I wish he would just go away.

The left seems to exempt themselves from charges of hypocrisy.

So, you aren't going to respond to Cool Aqua, just continue to spank Kerry. Do as your party leaders do, I suppose.

Maybe you should spend less time demonizing Durbin and Kerry, and naked hippies, and look at the real problem; YOUR LEADERSHIP.

Cool Aqua...isn't that Ted Kennedy's nickname?

Now you know what is going on here:

Standards for open government and personal disclosure, like those for ethics and conduct were ONLY meant to be applied to Republicans.

Didn't you get the memo?

So, you aren't going to respond to Cool Aqua, just continue to spank Kerry. Do as your party leaders do, I suppose.

Respond to a tired list of Rabid Democrat Talking Points we've all seen a hundred times already? Why bother? That's why God created scroll bars.

That's why God created scroll bars.

Careful, VK! You may confuse the moonbats with the word "God"! Maybe "the tree nymphs" or "Gaea" or even "non-denominational neuter-gendered universal Creator"?

I prefer ISIS, thank you.

Rob might be on to something....

"Oh Mighty Isis" twirl and special effects, now lets go smite the bad guys with the officially Isis sanctioned Clue-Bat.

Meanwhile, John Kerry's old comrade Hanoi Jane wants to see if she can help America Lose Another War. Van H may want to use this photograph to illustrate.

And if Hanoi Jane play her cards right... maybe the insurgents will let her pose next to a roadside bomb.

Before they cut her head off.

Was that Cool Aqua or Kool Aid???

Whichever it is, I find their statement another incredulous cut and paste job from the Barbara Streisand/Mother Jones/Howard Dean/Michael Moore school of American appeasement and apology....

Perhaps they prefer the Clinton model of leadership which I posted on here:
