I hope they rub Kerry's face in the dirt of his lies! But then getting $hit on $hit doesn't change much.

Someone on this board actually saved his (Kerry's) life in VN 1969...An interesting factoid!
I would love to see the unvarnished truth re all of this come out, however it wouldn't sway those who are Pro Kerry, and wouldn't make much difference to those of us who are on the other side.
Meaning, I believe I know the truth!

He told me the evening of the formal presentation of the NATIONAL MEDAL OF SCIENCE, we had already spent a couple of days in the WH, and 45 minutes in the Oval office w/Clinton. That writeup is on here somewhere.
I was wandering around among 6-800 people right after the presentation, a tall fellow stood up and said "That's a Distinguished Flying Cross" pointing at my lapel. I said "How the hell do you know that"? He said "I'm John Kerry, I was in VN." I said "Really, when, and where?" He told me where, and when he was there. I told him, that was my AO during 68-69-70, he said "What was your call sign?" I had had 3 during that timeframe, Viper, Satan, and DeathDealer, I told him, and he got excited. He told me that he and his crew were in deep trouble, that he remembers that I responded, remembers the Cobras, remembers the callsign, and the voice...About this time Nancy is leaving the stage, I ask him if he would like to meet Dr Andreasen, he said he would be honored. So I waved at Nancy and she headed our way, he called Theresa over, introductions were made, and he told the story again in front of everyone who would listen!
On our way back to the table I asked Nancy if she believed him, she responded "Of course", I said "He remembers something that clearly from over 30 years ago?" She said "He had a log, and recorded everything"...
Drinks were free that evening, and he has not invited me over since!

It took him 30 years to buy you a beer and thank you, well, better late than never. ;) Hold, it - he didn't call you a baby killer and sadist?
Kerry makes me physically ill, I hope they are successful.

I do believe the JR. SEN from Massachusets suffers from the third worst case of "selective memory" ever....right behind the SENIOR Senator from Mass., and my second wife... :cool:

I have often wondered about the mental faculties of the people of Massachusetts, having elected 2 of the vilest men in modern politics to represent them in the senate. If there were any justice in the world, both would be convicted felons instead of U.S. senators.
Interesting article, thanks for the link.
"Do you realize that the people of Massachusetts have NO representation in the Senate? One is never there and the the other isn't all there. That is from a local Phoenix radio guy. kerry(and no, I'm not capping the name) should have been sentenced and tossed into Portsmouth prison at least by 1971. The lush...... well, we all know where we would be if it had been any of us.

So, T, just to make your whole week - you are the finest gunship pilot, baby killer and sadist on the board. Now, line up hot and rip them rockets at the bad guys! We can GPS the not-so-swift boat boy for you, for practice.

Tha last time I was slated for "combat" flying, NDD aka (SNEAKY) was slotted as my bullet catcher:D , strike that! He was scheduled as my front seat/co-pilot I'd feel much better having him onboard, besides, he will have to read the newfangled equipment (GPS).
To clarify, for anyone perusing this board, this was all meant in jest!!

"Dear Senator Kerry,
We have not yet met, but I feel moved now to write you, in view of the latest assault on your honor, and the cruel blows being dealt you by fate. Your life has been hell since the last election, when those hanging chads in Ohio tricked all those people into voting for Buchanan, or Nader; and the fact that you lost the rest of the country by 3 million votes proved that the fraud had been everywhere. And before that were those baseless attacks by those 200-some veterans, paid off by Karl Rove in l970, on the chance that 34 years later he'd be running George W. Bush for president and needed to soften you up. Everyone knows they had no case whatsoever (beyond the fact you were calling them rapists and killers), just as everyone knows how tasteless it is to mock your lifestyle. Everyone knows how hard you work for your money, how much you deserve it, and how hard to must be to find not one, but two women with quite so much dough. (If you were only a woman, people would see your story as the fairy tale it is.)
Even worse, it is mean, false, and mendacious to say that you were trying to call our brave men in Iraq and in uniform mentally challenged, when it was clear as day that you meant this to apply to the president, who ran rings around you when you last met in electoral combat; and whose
grades in college were higher than yours.
With this in mind, it's no surprise you went postal. Who in your position wouldn't have? Anyone would have called the president's spokesman "pathetic" and referred to the "right-wing nut-jobs," as you did in the formal statement you put out to the press.
What was especially moving was this emotional note in your statement: "I'm not going to be lectured by a stuffed suit White House mouthpiece standing behind a podium, or doughy Rush Limbaugh, who no doubt today will take a break from belittling Michael J. Fox's Parkinson's disease to start lying about me just as they have lied about Iraq."
How right you are to realize that attacking a disabled person or one who has suffered a serious illness is the worst thing that can be done by a civilized person, so dire that, of course, you feel free to insult Rush Limbaugh, a radio performer who has carried on uncomplainingly in spite of his deafness, and Tony Snow, who has recently suffered a bout with serious cancer.
I am deeply moved, too, by the following statement, obviously regarding the wartime service of President Bush in the Texas Air National Guard: "It disgusts me that these Republican hacks, who have never worn the uniform of our country, lie and distort so blatantly and carelessly about those who have." Well said, as the only ones permitted to lie and distort about anything are valiant warriors such as Howard Dean and Bill Clinton, whose heroic exploits at Oxford and on the ski slopes of Aspen we all remember so well.
The only thing that consoles me in light of your troubles is that you are never without consolations, such as an $8,000 bike, or a $l00,000 motorboat, or a Lear jet, or the five mansions owned by your wife. Get away to one of them, or all of them, and go skiing; or sailing; and feel the wind in your face, or your hair. Speaking of hair, go to Christophe, and get a new rinse or hairdo; this always makes me feel better. Get a manicure, or a facial, or a fresh shot of Botox. Before it gets cold, go windsurfing off of your place in Nantucket. Those flowered shorts sure were cute.
"Life is unfair," as the first JFK put it, and nothing is less fair than the fact that the war-hero gambit worked for him but not for you. Of course, JFK didn't come home and call his old buddies war criminals. And none of the people who knew, or knew of, him ever called him a pompous and self-seeking blowhard who was making things up. Nonetheless, I want to congratulate you again for standing up to those decorated war veterans, deaf men, and cancer survivors who so meanly attacked you, and please keep on doing it. Keep on talking, just as you have, up to and right through November 7, or at least until the polls close in most districts. Come to think of it, don't stop even then."
Couldn't help myself.....had to post this!
