Re: Kerry Bush

Well Said! After seeing 4 more years of body bags coming back from Iraq (like Vietnam) under the Bush Administration, I think most Americans will get dissatified with us being there, also. It will be too late though, if Bush wins in November (I won't say re-elected...he wasn't elected the first time). If you think he was a bad boy the first term, wait until he knows he hasn't got to worry about another term in office!

Re: Kerry Bush

So when can we see his medical records? Wounded? Three purple hearts? No down time? Strange???

Re: Kerry Bush

No down time, medical records! Why do you need proof that he has (3) PH’s or any other decoration? The PURPLE HEART is awarded to members of the armed forces of the U.S. who are wounded by an instrument of war in the hands of the enemy and posthumously to the next of kin in the name of those who are killed in action or die of wounds received in action. It is specifically a combat decoration. There’s nothing that relates to the severity of a wound. All of his (Kerry’s) military decorations were reviewed and awarded by the chain of command. Isn’t that enough proof for you?

Re: Kerry Bush

I question because Purple Hearts are awarded for wounds received in combat not the scratches Lt. Keryy received!

Re: Kerry Bush

…and you question this because…the Republican machine has said this? Paid for a book by a Swifty who initially had no grudge to bear but was made an “offer he couldn’t refuse” (sorry Godfather)…and you take this as gospel…this is the kind of stuff that can’t be made up – right? If you tell a lie long enough it becomes the truth? The Republicans have succeeded – they’ve steered the media and the people away from the real issues. Let’s just hope that the electorate can see beyond this – from either side. Faustian? Orwellian?

I think the media has attributed more ink and sound-bytes to baseless charges against Kerry than what has happened since Irag II began. Not only are we more hated around the world but have raised the level of hatred against us in the Middle East to an all time high. I guess that’s Kerry’s doing? It may well be after the Republicans start spinning this too.

Re: Kerry Bush

As I recall Kerry brought this upon himself reporting for duty. The Democrats got us into Nam and then changed their tune! Kerry lied before Congress and accused all soldiers of atrocities and now the Reps are to blame when questions are asked? Show us all his medical records and I will shut up!!!

Re: Kerry Bush

Contract Manager DA - again more lies from the right wingers??...Eisenhower put us into Vietnam in the late 1950s. Yes, Kennedy escalated it--but we had already been put there! Check it out---there are many military families that know this, who had loved ones over there in the late 1950s... again more right wing lies? Another good one is "Carter started the gas lines in America" (yeah right!-I recall sitting in the first gas lines in 1973-1974 and I don't believe Carter was President then....)hmmmm guess that would have been a republican president during that timeframe! I'm glad I'm old enough to know the lies from the truth on all the media is spouting out there--but I sure am getting real tired of having to correct these same lies for my children who weren't alive then and don't know better!

Re: Kerry Bush

How did we get to gas lines? I thought we were discussing Kerry? Just like a liberal change the tune?

Re: Kerry Bush

Contract Mgr, DA: Obviously you can't read...and by the way I'm a republican who will never vote for these crooks!

Re: Kerry Bush

Sorry I jumped to the wrong conclusion!

Re: Kerry Bush

Benedict Arnold was also highly decorated!!!

Re: Kerry

Yes, your absolutely right, ah, er, but you could be wrong, but on the other hand you may spark a bit of truth and on the other hand being on the middle ground is ok, isn't it? Oh, heck. I agree, but respect my right to disagree. Oh, dear there I go flip flopping again. Yes, by all means.

Re: Kerry

I see what you mean. I liked your reply, really - but that quote, to me, is not about flip-flopping. However, many feel that if a person does not allow themselves to accept differing and diverging views to make decision, refuses to change, stays the course no matter if the course is no longer valid, then we say that that person is behind the times, inflexible, not forward thinking, etc.

Why is flip-flopping considered negative? I’ve changed my views on abortion, war, religion, politics, etc., and the views I had when I was much younger. I would like to think that my ability to change my mind, or be open to the possibility of accepting new or different ideas and having the choice to make a choice and hopefully a more informed decision. Educating myself to other views helps me become a more involved person.

Sardonically, on second thought I may not like your reply, you may be absolutely right ah, er, but you could be wrong, but on the other hand you may spark a bit of truth and on the other hand being on the middle ground is ok, isn't it? Oh, heck. I agree, but respect my right to disagree. Oh, dear there I go flip flopping again. Yes, by all means. See what I mean?

Re: Kerry

I echo EVERYTHING that Office Svcs Asst had to say.
It is all true.
And...I think Michael Moore rocks....
he had the guts to make 9/11 and tell the REAL story!

Re: Thanks for running the poll

Well unfortunately Bush didn't win-he was installed by the Supreme Court after they saw that Gore was closing in on winning on the recounts-and the Supreme Court pulled a fast one on the American people by stopping the recount and delaring Bush the "winner". Why do you think in Washington DC on his inaugration day that his limo was being pelted with eggs and tomatoes and shouts of "Hail to the Thief" were going up? The man couldn't even do the traditional walk among the people to the White House! (Did you see this on the media---so much for "Liberal" media). I hope George Bush does win in November and then we'll hear all the crying and whining about the upcoming draft that he absolutely will require when he invades Iran next...then China...then Syria...and hey we all love the $2.00 per gallon gas anyway! Why we'll still love it (and him) when it's $5.00 per gallon! A bunch of folks asleep... And not one word in the nation about the 173,000 disenfranchised voters in the "great state" of Florida in the 2000 "election coup"... who will remain unable to vote in our "free country" probably in the upcoming election... Do some research folks -or our country is doomed.(And the way it's going fast it probably is already regardless of who gets elected). We're sending bigwig cats on constant TDYs spending money, and the troops that are working on the equipment to go back to Iraq (for a 2nd time) don't even have the flipping tools to do their jobs!! Ft. Campbell is losing 500 troops per month that are saying "we're not doing this anymore for lies"... But that's okay, we sent them all off to war with toilet paper in their backpacks...and sent them bullet proof vests. And what do we hear on tv---why just the handpicked troops spouting off that "things are just great in Iraq"...not the real truth coming from the average troop over there. You folks that have no one in this war are being conned big time!! And you're a bunch of lost folks that won't take the time to do some research into what is really going on in all this. Wake up or we're going to find ourselves worse off than Russia ever was.

Re: Thanks for running the poll

Bush was not "installed".. According to all the media organizations who looked at the ballots, Bush would've won using Gore's standards. Surprisingly, he would've lost useing his own. Also where were all the disenfranchised voter whn the lawyers went to Florida. Not one filed a complaint. No one could be found be the media. Don't forget these so called disenfranchised voters were in Democrat counties run by Democrat pollsters and election officials.

Re: Kerry

I agree with "flat tax"
